2014 Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius modifications

Just thought I would share the mods I have done to my 2014 Suzuki SFV 650. Sorry about that quality of the videoing, not my forte! 😂

[@graemefitzpatrick7532]

Nice work, can I ask what were the brand of the bar end mirrors? Are they stable at speed?

[@richardtimmins8525]

The bar end mirrors were from Amazon but eBay sell them too. Quality are stability is fine BUT if you over tighten the screw; Snap! Throw away item and be more careful next time. That's what I have done. 7/8" Black Motorcycle Wing Bar End Side Mirrors Motorbike Rearview Anti-Glare UK

Under £10

Can you make a video showing how to install after market turn signals on the front

[@Brandon-bl3di]

Does your seat key lock still work Could you plz show me I’m trying to find a tail tidy for mine… but I want to be able to use the key lock for my seat

[@jacobburr7168]

I just bought the evotech tail tidy for this bike and you relocate the locking system for the seat kinda wherever you want where the cable can reach. I tucked mine behind the license plate and it works just fine and you can’t see it

[@dougrippe33]

So I’m going to be purchasing a 2012 SFV and I can’t find that exact exhaust. Is it a universal that needs modifications? Could you give me a part number for it if you don’t mind.

[@JOD238]

Where did you get the bar across the handle bars. That will be good to fix the GoPro.

[@richardtimmins8525]

It's just a Renthal brace bar which you can buy from anywhere. There are cheap versions but the Renthal bar was only £22 anyway.

Hi! Great video! I’ve just bought the same bike! I’m waiting for the R&G tidy tail. Is it good? Stable? Is it difficult to install? I don’t know if is a good idea to change also the indicators. Do I have to make electric mods? Thank you! It’s so difficult to mod this bike by myself because there arent forums!

[@mumenraider]

Did u install one ??

[@PGIOVA]

@@mumenraider Hi! Yes i did. It was easy for me (I’m not very practical with elettronic). I followed the instructions. I used the original indicators but you have to just repleace theme in the new plate holder with no electric joints. I did have to cut the original stop light (3 wires) and it was easy to attach them with the new cables. I installed it all in 2 hours. It looks really good and stable. If you have any other question i’m really happy to help you!

[@mumenraider]

@@PGIOVA thats great . Are you still riding the Gladius ? I am looking to buy the Gladius next summer as my first big bike

[@PGIOVA]

@@mumenraider yes! I bought it in july as my first bike! It is a really good bike! Smooth and really easy to ride! In very happy! I was looking for a cheap bike, but if you can i suggest you also the SV650, in some way It is a newer version of the gladius..

[@mumenraider]

@@PGIOVA after the long research i came to conclusion that Gladius is way under rated in Germany . I was looking to get a bike with ABS under 3000 euro. The older SV 650 S/N are selling for 3000+ euro. Since Gladius is so under appreciated. It good for me. Getting 99% of bike same as the new SV 650.

[@cianni2446]

hi, my 2011 Gladius emits low light. What bulb did you put in?

[@richardtimmins8525]

High intensity bulb which is a straight swop

[@danielramos7556]

I just got myself the 09 black version as my second bike. Looking forward to seeing what exhaust you will put on it to give me some idea for mine!

[@firelord1125]

He already has a slip-on. It's an ixil hyperlow. Couple that with a GPR decat pipe and the bike sounds amazing.

[@danielramos7556]

@@firelord1125 ahh he does. I didn’t see it the first time watching it. The used one I got the last owner straight piped it and I have no muffler whatsoever. Thanks for the input!

[@richardtimmins8525]

Yeah as Ryan says it has the Ixil on there. Sounds good but not ear deafening. Might look at the decat.

[@amaana4631]

Hi, where did you buy the IXIL exhaust from, im also from the uk

[@Tod_Unctious]

It must be really hard to put ixil and sfv in to Google.

[@Bluewater001]

Where did you get rear mud guard looks cool

[@ZeakorDesigns]

AliExpress

[@davincobb4561]

Hey where did you get the rear seat cowl???? What’s the link???

[@richardtimmins8525]

Hi. I purchased the rear seat cowl from Pyramid Plastics. It is an Ermax branded cowl and very good quality. Please find their pyramid-plastics.co.uk/collections/suzuki/bike-model_sfv-650-gladius+bike-year_2014+category_seat-cowls#collection Email - [e-mail]

[@richardtimmins8525]

I think it was just over £125 but changes the look of the bike

[@richardtimmins8525]

I have now added the Ermax belly pan. Now that does look good on the bike

[@stevenattwood61]

Belly pan makes huge diff i got power bronze kit

[@carbonatrixfifaplayer3832]

Does suzuki still do this bike is there like a 2020 version?

[@richardtimmins8525]

No they don't. They went back to the SV

[@carbonatrixfifaplayer3832]

@@richardtimmins8525 waht a shame i absolutely liked the headlight of the sfv 😭😭😭😭

[@rickyelkins1225]
