Hey I have the same issue, my gen 1 Suzuki sv650 won’t shift into second gear unless I play with the shifter for bit then it’ll pop in second, seems to be fine with the rest. I took everything off and my star is spinning like yours through all the gears while I spin the shaft with my other hand. I just wanna know do I still need to take the engine apart? Someone told me I could still have something wrong internally or bent shift forks but I’m confused as to why the star would spin through all the gears if it was bent shift forks? or something internal causing it? Please let me know what you think I really don’t wanna take the engine apart. Everything else also seems fine that I took out to get to this point
@drew6572 ай бұрын
If the star spins freely and it goes into all the gears without problems just turning it with your hand, you likely don't have bent shift forks. The shift forks are pretty robust and it would take a huge force to bend one, and your hand can't put nearly as much torque on that star as your foot on a shifter can with leverage of the lever. I wasn't ever able to determine exactly what the cause of my shifting issue was, I assumed it was a bent shift shaft (the shaft that goes from the shift lever on the right, through the engine to work the shift star), and it was binding. That doesn't explain (in my case, or yours) why it would hang on 2nd gear and not the others. IIRC, the bolt that held my shift star in place was also slightly bent, which may have been putting some weird pressure/binding force on it only when in position for 2nd gear (or trying to move past neutral), but again that doesn't explain being able to move it with your fingers but not with the shift lever when all put together. I would do as I did, and reach out to www.mad8v.com/ or message on his instagram @mad8vcycles and see if he has a shifting setup on hand you could buy, and just replace all the parts on the cheap to see if that fixes it. If not, then you might have to split your cases for more thorough diagnostics. Best of luck.

Glad it helped! I think the next master cylinder I buy is going to be an Accossato 19x18. Each one is hand tuned to have as little free play as possible before they leave the factory. “Chasing Tenths” KZbin channel has a great video on them and what creates that free play before the pressure starts to build.

First mistake was looking on the internet. Second was not doing the line bleed. Third was not bleeding the master first. Vac bleeders are only good for getting the fluid to move past the hydraulic block that happens when new lines or rebuilding removes all the fluid. Here is what works the absolute best. Fill the res, bleed ONLY the master at this point. You will need some clear line, a Gatorade bottle or the like. Drill one hole slightly smaller than the hose, make a small pick or punch hole in the plastic neck area of the bottle, fill the bottle with a small amount of brake fluid, insert line into cap and all the way down to just above the bottom of the bottle. Attach the line to the master port, squeeze the lever and open the nipple, continue pumping with the port open. Once the lever gets pressure close the port, remove the line and stick it on one of the calipers and do the same, then switch to the other side. After there is no air at all (or very small bubbles) pump the master up by stroking the lever, and crack the brake line bolts open. Do this until the system feels solid. ( old worn pads will also cause the bleeding to not work as it should) If after an hour, if the system still feels soft, tie the lever back with a zip tie or something and let it sit. Now, the calipers you are using are well known to stick. Rebuild the calipers. The 19/20 19/19 masters have always worked well as long as you have done the math and the calipers and all are matched. The way I described the bleed is an old, real old way of bleeding, it is still the best way. I only use vacuum when it is a rebuild or replacement of major parts.
@drew6572 ай бұрын
Thanks for the advice. Been working on cars and bikes for about 20 years, I've done all those steps many times, just like my dad and grandpa taught me on cars. I think the lever has spent more time zip tied than not, although that's a temporary solution since it just makes the air dissolve into the fluid; when you release pressure for any amount of time it comes out of suspension like opening a bottle of soda. I rebuilt the calipers and master cylinder, and installed braided steel lines, when I built the bike prior to riding it, about 5 ys and maybe 3-5k miles ago. I've bled by pumping the lever, and by vacuum, and back-bled by pushing the pistons all the way in (all of which I've done many times each), even bench bled the master. I thought this might be an easy way to flush it, as it's essentially the same system that dealership mechanics bleed and flush Mercedes and BMW brake systems. All things said and done, I think I've figured it out, working on a new video soon.

I'm guessing you swapped out your brake lines or had the lines off from the calipers at one point? if you you're supposed to have the brake hoses dangle while pumping the brakes until fluid begins dripping at the end of the brake line before you put it back on
@drew6572 ай бұрын
Yes, when I swapped the GSXR front end onto this bike I rebuilt the calipers and master cylinder and upgraded to braided steel lines (and dangled them until fluid came out before attaching to the calipers). That was about 5 years ago and I've continued to have to bleed them pretty much constantly since then. Like, I didn't ride it at all last year because I just felt defeated, no matter how many times I'd bleed it, with pressure, vacuum, gravity, reverse bleeding by pushing the pistons back in.... didn't matter, if it sat for more than a couple hours or if I tried to ride it the lever would just come back to the bars with no resistance. For 5 years and several large bottles of DOT4, like full flush many times over. I recently swapped the Brembo on, thinking it was an issue with my master cylinder (Suzuki did a recall on this unit and I assumed this one hadn't gotten swapped) with little improvement. I think I got it figured out though, new video en route soon.
@LucasStephens2 ай бұрын
I don’t think your problem is with the MC, I think it’s air behind the caliper pistons. When I had those calipers on my sv (05 gsxr600 calipers) the only thing that worked was pressing the pistons back in, then bleeding using the “open bleeder, pump, close bleeder, release lever” method. If not you’ll push air right back behind the pistons that can’t come out. Shoot me a message if ya need any help. I might be able to find the article I found maybe 3 years ago about the issue.

The suspension adjustability does make it feel more planted though.

I've loved binging this bikes progression man. glad to see she's still coming together to this day! I recently picked up a 07 sv650. the previous guy used it primarily as a track bike so there's things I'm not understanding regarding the wiring that looking at diagrams isn't solving. Some things to note first: I have the same brembo kit! It doesn't have a pressure switch so the blue and red wires are free hanging; front turn signals have been deleted and I can't find leads to plug new ones into. A LED headlamp was added but has its power running straight from the battery and has wires I'm assuming are used as signal wires going directly into the rear fuse box Head-low/high 10amp fuses. My tach/speedo/turn signal/high beam lights are not receiving power, however the green neutral/red oil light turn on...? Popping open the plastic back of the speedo reveals three free hanging wires, a yellow, WHITE/black, white. Two random plastic 2 pin connectors, both with a BLACK/white wire, one with a black wire and the other with a cyan(very light blue?) wire. I assume these were taken apart from the white connector that should house those wires + a brown wire, but cant find the brown wire nor can I figure out what that white connector would have even plugged into in the first place. I'm wondering if that white connector that I'm missing is preventing the speedo lights to work properly. It like a real mess to me since I'm new to figuring out wiring harnesses lol, and I kind of set myself up for more of a project then I anticipated. You seem a lot more competent with wire knowledge then forum lurkers so I thought I'd drop a comment and ask if you have any advise on how to solve that speedo problem!
@drew6573 ай бұрын
I once bought a track bike with the intention to make it street legal. It's always more of a project than you think it'll be, and gets real expensive real quick. I abandoned the stock speedo a long time ago so I'm not sure about the lights not coming on. Sounds like the previous owner disabled them and only left the ones needed for the track. Although I'm not sure if having the lights in place completes a circuit to make the dash lights come on? I'm actually going to be working on it tonight so I'll shoot a video of the stock wiring stuff and shoot you the link to see if that helps. As much as it would suck to swap out, getting a stock wiring harness from a parted out bike on ebay might be a good option to start over.
Good luck with bleeding those brakes. I had that model gsxr front end on my sv and they were a pain. My running theory is that air is prone to getting trapped behind the pistons.

Great video. It has helped an old woman out! New to the area and don't know anyone. I took mine to a 'recommended' mechanic who said it was the 02 sensor which he replaced. Charged me $150. About 100 miles later the engine light came back on. Took it back to the mechanic and he told me it was probably the catalytic converter, and he could just take it out and it would run fine. So, I took it to Autozone and another who told me it was the fuel pressure sensor. Took it to a different mechanic and they said it's the gas cap and fuel line sensor. They said cost would be $310+. Does the price sound reasonable?
@drew6575 ай бұрын
I'm not a mechanic and haven't ever worked at a shop so I don't have any idea what a reasonable price would be. I'm not sure what problems your vehicle is having, but it sounds an awful lot like they aren't wanting to do any diagnostics and just want to keep charging you for parts until something makes it better. Oftentimes though, on these older vehicles, there are multiple issues, and whacking one mole down doesn't fix the others. When they replace a part they'll clear the code and the vehicle won't turn the light back on for the other codes until it's been driven a ways. Any auto parts store should be able to hook up a code reader to see what codes are being sent, and you can try to figure out what the problem might be from there. You can buy a code reader at the store, or online, for reasonably cheap these days, I highly suggest investing in one if you're driving an older vehicle.

Just so everyone knows, before buying any used components on ebay, remember that they're being sold for two reasons. 1-they're stolen parts or 2-they come off a crashed unit. Either way all components, axles, rims, rotors fork tubes, steering stems, crowns and main frames and tail section/sub frames should be checked for straightness from professionals. Dr John's Motorcycle Frame Straightening are the only ones I've trusted for almost 40 years. Dial indicators will tell deflection more than your eyeball. They have the tooling specific to all differences in any components. They are located in Anaheim, Ca. Be smart, be safe! One issue not addressed in this video is the speedometer drive. In order to have a functional speedometer you can't use a front end off any GSXR later than 1995 as the later ones take the speed drive off the counter shaft sprocket. If you do use a later one you'll have to drive the speedometer off the rear wheel, there literally no space on the GSXR front end after 96. Driving off the rear is possible but takes professional machine work as the axle may need to be modified, the swing arm may need to be modified, certainly some degree of fabrication expertise is required. It is not just a bolt on situation. Think and plan it out before jumping in, because it could en up turning your bike into junk and unusable.
