I stuck around and your brake service was top notch. Respect!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

No problem man! Thanks for the support!

[@LovBoat]

Just got a ridiculous quote today from a shop to replace my pads. Searched and found this beauty of a video. Good job man, thank you!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Glad I could help

[@DgrayDesigns]

Great video. Very informative.

[@nicoverrier4066]

Thank you, great video. I took my rear wheel off and the little clip fell off, now I know where it goes!

[@jch0326]

Hey man! Made it all the way through= thanks for a great vid! Love your style!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks!!

[@michaelyiannett4515]

Subbed and stuck around. Nice vids man, always interesting and well explained. Hi from New Zealand 🙌

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks bro!!

[@tilakhbahadur6764]

I stuck around! Greeting from Malaysia 🇲🇾 Watching your videos makes me want to get an SV650 myself ❤️

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man! Good luck on getting your own SV!

[@billd.6684]

Thanks, Monkey Man, just did the rear pads on my '19 SV. Piece of cake after watching your film.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Glad I could help!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man!!

[@mi_li]

I stuck around. Great Video！

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks!!

[@garybuck5032]

Hey dude, I like your vids! I need to clean my brakes, I feel much more confident doing it now. Quick question, where and what make are your bar end mirrors?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man! Honestly just some Amazon ones for like $28 but they’re CNC aluminum and one piece other than the stem. If you look on Amazon I’m sure they have them still

[@ernst2]

I tackled my rear break pad replacement and got stuck at fitting the caliper back in... the closeup you did on how the pads should sit, resolved my problem. Great video. Awesome style and... how the heck do you keep you bike so clean!? Thanks!!!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks! Glad I could help lol and I always clean the bike I hate having it dirty lol just my ocd I guess

[@yayodaflyez]

Link where can I get rotors ???

[@adriver6587]

Thank you for the video you saved me some $

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

No problem glad I could help

[@GB-fo2ce]

Awesome video! Respect!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks 🙏

[@GB-fo2ce]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG May i ask why you use two different lubricants, Eze-slide and the copper stuff on the sliding pins? Thanks very much!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

@GB-fo2ce copper stuff is just an anti seize so it does lubricate but it’s not really meant for that and it will dry up and wear away if used as a lubricant. The other one is high heat resistant and can last longer. The anti seize is to keep things from sticking and let the pads move around freely on the sliding surface

[@GB-fo2ce]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG many thanks for the quick reply!!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

No problem lol

[@adamtafesse8971]

I just followed this on my 2020 SV650 and the front brake calipers are actually different! They almost seem beefier.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

That’s actually good to hear that they updated the brakes. They needed a bit more bite

[@drr1384]

Have you taken the front wheel off yet? I need to replace my tire and am wondering if it's the same process as the gen 2 with a 12mm hex

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

No I haven’t yet sorry

[@crazydude123choma2]

Hey. My 2016 sv650 had abs light on and speedometer is not working. Also engine management light is turned on and shows FI check on the dash. Any reason for it ?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Sorry man no clue

Thanks bro, real helpful. Saves me an extra trip to the shop for which they'll probably charge me an extra € 100. My SV is currently at 8300 km's, is it time to do the breaks already you think?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You should look at the pads the line that they cut into them in the middle is the wear indicator. Once it’s no longer there and the pad is one big smooth surface it’s time to get them changed.

@@SmokinMonkeyOG thanks, but I meant is it time to lube and clean it already after 8k km you think?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I had less than that and it was dirty enough on mine but it depends what your roads are like. More dust and debris will mean more cleaning. But at 8k I would look at them at least and see if they look gunned up. Check the pins without removing anything. You can see if they’re dirty or not

[@Kitchenappliance996]

Do you by any chance know if the 2016-2020 brake pads are universally compatible with my 2020 sv650x? I heard they've updated to four piston calipers, I'm too reluctant to let a shop do it for me, but I can't seem to get my hands on a 2020 brake pad

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I wish I could help but I have t seen a 2020 in person yet so I don’t even know if they have the same pads or anything. I’ll see if I can look it up but nothing off the top of my head man sorry.

[@Kitchenappliance996]

Thanks for the effort nonetheless, appreciate it!

[@daviddacajar]

I have a problem with the rear brake and the brake lever hardly has any range, only 0.5cm and the brake starts to block the wheel, what could it be? Thanks

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I would check if the cables being pinched somewhere and not releasing. Other than that I have no clue

[@suzukisv6506]

Hi brother what pads you recommended for my SV 650 2021?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Wish I could help but I haven’t changed my pads yet so I don’t know what to say

[@soushi8]

does opening the brake reservoir cover make it easier to push the piston back?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Not sure but I would assume it doesn’t since there’s enough room for the fluid to go back and forth and not have it pressurize. You would only have more resistance if it was under pressure but it’s not.

[@BennyZ88]

Currently riding my second season with my first bike, (2011 CBR 250R- Same as your first bike if im not mistaken). I really want an SV 650 as my second bike next spring. (The one with the red frame is so beautiful) But MAN That Honda CB650R is hard not to consider. Im curious, im 6'2, how do you think il fit on the SV? I mean im riding a 250 and its decent enough but how much of a difference comfort wise did you notice jumping from the CBR 250 R to this bike? Any regrets? If you were in my position knowing what you know now, would you buy the SV again? or go a different route? I live in pickering so riding conditions should be very similar to what you ride in. Cheers

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya man I had one of those too!! Haha dope bike. But I gotta be honest I wanted the CB650R too lol so knowing what I know now I would get the CB650R but only because I love the 4 cylinder sound and that bike actually has more power. Still I don’t regret my decision I love the SV and it’s handling plus it’s got tons of power too. But comfort wise it’s night and day. The SV650 is sooo nice man lol it’s like a Muskoka chair on wheels because you sit straight not leaned over. I can’t get enough of this bike. I don’t know how the riding position is in the Honda but I can ride this all day. And that’s why I got it, it lets me take longer rides and not strain my back I’m 6’1

[@BennyZ88]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG Cool man thanks for the reply. If i get the SV or CB650R next spring we gotta get a subscriber group ride set up one time!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I’m down!! I wonder how many of us live around here

[@maxa6082]

Is the 3rd gen sv650 generally the same as the 2nd gen sv650 as far as brakes go?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Never had the chance to compare to be honest so I can’t say for sure

[@s11039858]

hi..do you have rust issues with the bike now since you have owned it for years.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Nope none at all

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

But I don’t ride in the rain and I store it in a garage

[@jeromeianradovan7089]

Does the rear brake piston fully retracts or a part expose?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Honestly can’t remember at this point sorry

[@jeromeianradovan7089]

No prob.thanks

[@Lukas-gd9we]

Can you use Liqui Moly Multiporpose Grease for the Slider?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You need something with a high heat tolerance so I can’t say for sure as I don’t know that product myself. But check the specifications of the grease

[@Lukas-gd9we]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG okay it says till 120°C

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I would say that’s too low. The stuff I use is Temperature range: -46°C to 288°C (-50°F to 550°F). I would pick up a tube of brake specific lubricant it’s only like $10-$15 and will do the job a lot better

[@miguegatin]

Hello a question are the same brake pads as the v strom 650?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Sorry never seen the pads on that bike myself

[@miguegatin]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG and the sv650x???

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Haven’t worked on that either sorry lol

[@r3dhorse]

Don't use a metal brush on or around the pistons. A nylon brush and some brake cleaner should do the trick for all of it.

[@user-89ddang]

good bro 몇년식인가요? 2017?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Yes 2017

@@SmokinMonkeyOG 윙카 지시등 교체도 가르쳐주면 좋겠어bro

[@PedroGLeitao]

Better always use gloves when doing a brake job, the brake pad dust is highly cancerigenous and also the brake cleaner is really hard on your skin

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Everything is Carcinogenic these days lol there’s carcinogens in everything man. Just wash your hands right after and don’t eat while doing the brake job you’ll be fine. When dealing with oil wear gloves for sure because the liquid will absorb into your skin otherwise you’ll be okay
