2017 SV-650 Holeshot Performance Update 7-15-17

[@andrewb1667]

Bike is really starting to come along nicely!

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Thank you Andrew, Ive been hard at work on it. Bike is at Corbin's work shop now in CA. I will fine tune the shape in person with R&D on August 11th. Cheers Dale

[@scottmoore5839]

Beautiful Bike......Nice job..!!!

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Thank you ......... DW !

[@JudoAndrew]

Dale, I have a 2018 SV650 but my colour scheme is black and red. All of your parts for the bike seem to be catered to the white/blue color scheme. Any chance you can get the parts in all black (brake lines, adjustable fork caps and cartridge fork kit)? Thanks!! Ps. I have the Holeshot Corbin seat and I’m very very happy with it.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Hi Andrew, I no longer sell any pf the suspension parts, and have switched to Galfer brake lines. I can make you a set of black brake lines. You would need to call me M or T at the shop. Thanks Dale

[@daveyt4802]

Us V-strom guys are wondering if you are going to hop up a new Suzuki V-strom 650. I have JE 677cc pistons, Gladius cams and a Bazzaz fuel controller on my 2012. Akrapovic exhaust too.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Nope wont be going there, turning 63 soon and need to have more fun, less work. Restoring one of my old drag bikes to ride again, and tracking my car is a good start David....... Cheers Dale

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Supersprox has a sprocket with steel outer ring and aluminum center. Weight reduction without any wear changes. Love the progress on the SV. In your personal opinion after having worked on the FZ-07, which bike chassis/engine do you personally prefer over the other?

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Yeahs I know about those also, I like all anodized personally. Toss a coin on both bikes, I like the 17 SV better but they are close. Personal taste really ! DW

[@xXxTeeilxXx]

So in EU there is a 2016 version of the sv650. On your website I can only find upgrades for the 2017+. The Bikes are pretty similar and I hope that your addons will work with my 2016 version. Can you confirm this ? Thanks

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

A far a I know they are the same .... DW

[@rickplater846]

Hi Dale, really enjoying watching your progress on the SV, nice tasteful mods. Is it ok/safe to run the arrow decat pipe on the standard engine map and will it run ok? I realise it's not ideal and won't really see any gains, but just want to do it in stages as funds allow.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Hi Rick, If you already have a slip-on I would do my tune first, then add the header as the final step. You wont need to re tune or take it to a dyno, Ive done all that for you. Thanks Dale

[@jasonwatson8945]

What kind of HP and tourque gains can be expected with the header, muffler, air filter, and tuner? I'm also curious if there is any weight savings from the new exhaust set-up.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Hey jason, nice to talk to you again. You can see my dyno chart review here. And yes its a pretty big weight reduction with the full system and my back half. www.holeshot.com/suzuki/sv/2017/products/arrow-header-system You wont believe how the little motor pulls hard clear to 10,000 rpm, when stock falls way off. Then go to my other 2017 SV-650 menu pages to take a look at what Ive been up to. Thanks Dale

[@cdubbleyoo]

Have you invited any moto journalists to ride and compare it to the stock bike yet? Have you ever thought about working with dealers to offer this as an upgrade kit?

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

I have mentioned it, but many have moved onto new models already.

[@jaimejhr22]

Nice bike my friend. Can you put the buy links for the accessories changed. Excuse me for my English. Good luck and have a funny travels on your motorcycle.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Hello Jaimejhr22 My web site does not take orders by design. If you are not in the USA, you can e mail me with a parts list, name and address. Then I can check cost and let you know. Please go to my web site home page, and look near the bottom for instructions. If your in the USA you will need to call me please. Thanks Dale Walker

[@tomsullivan9318]

Hey Dale, do you have the shock dyno readout for the stock rear shock? I assume it's orifice damping out of the box, but I've never disassembled rear shocks to verify that. Nice work on the bike by the way, it looks nicely sorted all over.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Hi Tom No I dont have that, and Its kept under wraps at Cogent suspension with the owner Rick. My rear shock is not ready yet also. Im still playing with compression side of the damping. Cheers Dale

[@daveyt4802]

Nice!

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Bike is now for sale with 888 miles ........ DW

[@Built63]

Can you make a video of the exhaust sound

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Hi Matt > You can go to my web site here and watch all my 2017 + SV 650 videos. They will link to KZbin ! www.holeshot.com/suzuki/sv/2017/videos Cheers Dale

[@bocarrell7881]

How can I purchase this bike

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

It sold long ago, buy a new one and give me a call. Cheers Dale

[@bocarrell7881]

Dale Walker will do! Thanks!

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

@@bocarrell7881 Ok , take care for now ... DW

[@luiz60]

Olá amigo , está bolha e de qual marca ?

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Thank you ........ English only sorry Dale

[@hawkrider88]

Wouldn't it be a lot easier and quicker to have slotted Pre-load caps

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Not really, just need the right tool for the job !
