It's common for the bearings in the clutch basket to run out of spec. Theres a company in Texas called Werks that rebuilds and balances these baskets to be absolutely perfect. Thats probably what your guy should look into. I did it on mine and its so much better than stock.

That's great information. I appreciate it. Definitely look into that.

@@limitlesspowersportsservic3394 I'd also look into the stator/flywheel magnets. They break loose and can prevent the bike from charging. Those are the only major issues outside of a green electrical connector that sits in front of the air box near the ignition.

@@RubberChickenMan007Where in Texas? I’ve got a 2003 SV1000s and want to inspect the clutch soon. Thanks.

@@limitlesspowersportsservic3394Assuming the SV1000 has the original clutch, and if it’s creeping forward in 1st gear, wouldn’t a simple clutch lever adjustment fix it? On my 2003 SV1000, the clutch lever feels fine but it started creeping forward one day. I changed the setting on the lever knob back to 1 and everything was fine again. The only thing that doesn’t feel right is when I put it in 1st gear before riding, it makes a fairly loud click sound. But it’s smooth after that. What is the cause of that sound generally? Thanks for your channel.

Yes a simple adjustment can cure that creeping issue. But this customer put in a EVC clutch themselves & was having the creeping issue even after adjusting the lever. I also thought it would be just a simple lever adjustment but it didn't solve the problem. Once I got into the clutch I saw that it was completely assembled incorrectly. That was causing the clutch to never completely disengage. Also before I tore into the clutch one the bike got hot it would start to slip at high rpms.

Thanks for the video. Just bought a 2006 SV1000s. So far all's well. Fluids look light colour and all works well. Drove it back 600kms 2 days ago in 38 degrees C. This is Australia, typical summer day.

Man that's a crazy hot day in the States. The SV is a great bike & they will run forever with well maintained. We use to endurance them in a 1000cc twins class.

@@limitlesspowersportsservic3394 Yes was a bad day. I'm nearly 80. But still going OK. I got dehydrated towards the end so took it carefully the last hour or so. Couldn't find water as I ran out.

[@giovannicianciolo7945]

Is it easy to put levers on it? Never messed with a hydraulic clutch before and don’t know if I need to do anything different

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Yeah super easy. It's just a 10mm nut on the bottom & a either a flat head are a 10mm bolt head on top. Just don't over tighten the bolt are the nut when you put it back together

[@Mr.CrotchRocket]

Where you get the levers from??

[@limitlesspowersportsservic3394]

Are you referring to the ones I took off the bike are the ones I put on? The ones I tool off were cheap Amazon ones that were on the bike when my custom bought the bike. The ones I put on are o.e.m. suzuki levers.

It's a MV Agusta F4 1000. I don't remember what year. I do have a full video on that motorcycle also.
