Suzuki SV650 Gen 2 Engine Design Differences (Single Spark Plug vs Dual Spark Plug Design)

[@rustytanks]

Main reason why the V Strom 650 is such a great bike, gen 2 SV motor

[@berniekeel6863]

Had I known earlier about the drain hole, I wouldn't have had to ride an SV 325. Great video.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Glad you were able to see this video. Hope it helps you out in the future 😃

[@frascocagiva]

Great video, it's sad to see so low views on a great video and millions on trash videos, keep the good work bud.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Thanks for the positive feedback! Giving the video a thumbs up, subscribing and sharing really helps the channel grow. Views or no views. I will continue to drop new SV content on a weekly basis so stick around for a while. 🙂

The single plug motor will work in any 07-09 dual plug bike I know I have done this swap before with all the 07-09 wiring ECU throttle bodies and O2 sensors you must change the coil plugs and run 03-06 coils All you do is change the coil connector to 2 large female spade and 2 small spade connectors it runs great with no codes first try

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Good to know. Thanks for the info!

Is anything else required to swap an 03-06 motor into a 07-09?

[@Reblups]

😅 same question , i have a k8 dl650 and a swap engine from a k6 , i changed just the stator plug , I have seen other different plugs for coils from k6 to k8,I will have to check all connectors

I'd like to hear about the differents between the SV650 and the VStrom engines!

[@PASSIONBUILT]

As far as I know. Not many differences. If I ever get my hands on a vstrom parts bike. I’ll make that video 😎

[@JohnnieV]

Is it possible for a new 23 650 to becime a sv325? Is the power grratly nituceabke when running on 1 cylunder? It has to sound alot differwnt too right?

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Yes it’s possible. Yes and yes.

[@ItsYourBoyRo]

Thanks for the video. I thought I had only 2 spark plugs on my sv. Today I was looking over my motor and saw a 3rd plug on the right side 😮. So I needed to find the 4th one. Nw I need to change those 2 I missed during my spark plug change

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you! Please do one for exact changes I need to do, I just bought a 07-09 engine and its going in my 03 bike. Thanks again.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

No major changes need to be made. Sergei @mad8vcycles just made a video about a pigtail adapter for dual plug coils to single plug but other than that. It’s pretty straight forward. I’ve parted out a couple of SV650s that had dual plug engines in single plug year frames.

[@a1chuy]

Any chance you would know why my 03 sv650 smells like unburned gas when idling. Changed plugs and air cleaner is clean. But still have the smell. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

As I mentioned in the video. The 07-09 models came with the dual plug design to optimize fuel combustion to help with the unburned gas. However, if you have an aftermarket exhaust system. It could cause issues with your factory tune and may cause your bike to run rich explaining the unburned gas smell. Any modifications done to the bike?

[@a1chuy]

@@PASSIONBUILT It's all stock.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Have you checked for leaks under the tank from either the pump or main fuel line from the pump?

[@a1chuy]

@@PASSIONBUILT Have not. But the smells is coming from the exhaust. When idling at a stoplight my brother who sometimes rides with me, tells me he can smell gas.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Gotcha. I guess it just sounds pretty normal. Like I said. The 2007-2009 models got that revised cylinder head to optimize the combustion process which helps reduce wasted unburned gas. A lot of these SVs that I part out do smell a bit rich but that’s usually because the exhaust has been hacked up or the bike has been modified. If I was you. I would just double check under the tank for any possible leaks but if none are found and your bike is running good. Don’t worry about it and enjoy your SV 🙂

[@Tmask32]

I'm surprised how low the second spark plug is, it doesn't look like it's above tdc

[@PASSIONBUILT]

It’s nowhere near interfering with the piston.

[@jamieborland2179]

Great help thanks

[@PASSIONBUILT]

No problem! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@Knipescar]

Any one know if a flywheel -magneto from a 2003-2007 engine would fit a 1999-2002 engine..

[@PASSIONBUILT]

It would technically fit but there is no reason to swap magnetos unless you’re putting a 1999-2002 engine in a Gen 2. If you were swapping an earlier model motor into a later model or vice versa. You would need to transfer some things such as that flywheel and magneto. Are you on the market for a Gen 1 magneto and flywheel but can’t find one?

[@kylesheehan3813]

Can you pls make a video on locating the pair system?

[@PASSIONBUILT]

I will be making a full video explaining the pair system real soon so please subscribe to the channel and stick around for that 😃

[@josiahmitchell530]

I have a 2009 Sv650s with a 2005 motor in it. It's not idling well but besides that its okay. I found out that it could be from having the extra spark plug wires capped. What are some ways to go around it? Swap to older ignition coils? I have the 09 motor still. Could the 09 head be put on the 05 motor so it can have both spark plug holes?

[@PASSIONBUILT]

I’m not sure. I’ve never heard of anyone having a rough idle when having dual plug / non dual plug engines swapped. The cylinder heads are interchangeable. There is a company that makes a harness so you can use your single plug coils. Sergei at Mad8V cycles came across one on a parts bike a few months ago.

[@josiahmitchell530]

@@PASSIONBUILT Okay thanks. Yeah it's dropping 1 cylinder at idle most of the time. I'm trying to diagnose.

[@ThaoElden]

I've swapped an 07 motor into an 04 frame all you need is the wiring harness to match it

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Yeah that’s why I mentioned the harness differences. But the main point I wanted to get across is that it’s not a direct swap for someone with an 03-06 model. They would have to source a harness as well and that is sometimes not as easy.

[@Lonchpad1]

please tell me exactly what all I need, I just bought a 07-09 dual plug/cyl engine, going into my 03 stock frame, I thought it would just swap strait across? it is a big hit to not have the second plug firing?

[@ThaoElden]

@@Lonchpad1 the 07-09 sv650's had a different ecu and 05-09 had a slightly different fuel pump than the 03-04 models as well so I'd advise to buy a 07-09 wiring harness and fuel pump from 05-09 to match the engine, other than that it's 100% good to go

[@ThaoElden]

@@Lonchpad1 so in short you'll need a 2007-2009 wiring harness and ecu, and a 2005-2009 fuel pump

[@Lonchpad1]

@@ThaoElden thanks man! Got the 07 ecu and harness on the way, I’ll look for the fuel pump now. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@gsxr419]

Do the '10 up motors have a drain hole as well? Speaking of the vstrom 650 motors, mine is a 2013.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

I believe so. But I’ve never had my hands on a vstrom so I can’t tell you for sure.

Guys I'm looking to buy a used 2003 sv650 with just over 5k miles on it. What should I look for? Any typical issues with this year? Should I stay away from certain years? Thanks also what type of fuel mileage can I expect to see on this year

[@endlesscatching6548]

Does the dial plug design still carry the drain hole for moisture

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Yes. It’s located behind the secondary plug.

[@endlesscatching6548]

@@PASSIONBUILT when you say behind… do you have to remove the plug to see it ? I don’t see it anywhere near. Is there somewhere I can find a diagram or picture ? Can’t find it anywhere

[@daveyt4802]

I heard the single SP heads make more power. Zoran...I have a 2012 DL650 and like making power!

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Everyone has their own opinions between the 2 engines. I’ve heard people say that they dislike the dual plug because it runs tougher than the single. I’ve heard people say the duals make more power. In my experience with the amount of SVs I’ve ridden. They all feel almost the same. If you blindfolded me and put me on a bone stock single plug and a bone stock dual plug. I couldn’t tell you which one was which. I’ve owned a 50k dual plug that felt crispier and just as fresh as my 10k mile dual plug bike. I’ve rode 30k single plug bikes that feel super healthy compared to a 15k single plug that felt tired. I’ve ridden a couple that have had the cam swap upgrade. I feel like they’re all very similar and the only differences that can be truly felt are SVs with power mods and SVs that haven’t been maintained properly.

[@mikebauman6411]

Well a '2001 SVS 650 motor fit in an svs 650 2003

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Yes. You will need to swap some parts over to the Gen 1 engine to make it compatible though.

[@ThaoElden]

And I'm curious do you think a second gen motor would fit in a first gen frame if you had the harness to go along with it?

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Gen 2 engines are a direct fit to the Gen 1s but you need to swap your magneto, stator, thermostat housing, and intake boots. There’s something else I’m forgetting but it can be done without swapping harnesses. Just need to transfer a few parts from the Gen 1 engine to the Gen 2 engine.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

I’m actually working on a complete conversion video right now for that as well. 😃

[@ThaoElden]

Why would you need to change all that if only the frame is changed like I mean using a gen 2 wiring harness and everything, you should totally do a video on this

[@johncrow5552]

@@ThaoElden gen 1 had carburetors, Gen 2 had EFI so in gen 2, the magneto has more "triggers" so that the ecu can read engine position. Its not a hard job.

@@PASSIONBUILT did you run the latter model with only one plug? It still runs well?

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Are you asking if I removed a plug and ran the bike without one? If so. No I’ve never done that. Nor has my bike dropped one of the plugs to my knowledge. But people do run later model engines in earlier models and just leave the secondary plug unhooked and the bike runs as it should. I hope this helped answer your question 🙂

The 2003-2006 is still just as great as the 2007-2009 models. Just stay on top of your drain hole maintenance and you’ll be fine. I have a video for that in my SV playlist. Thanks for all the love and feedback. I appreciate it. Ride safe, Russell!

[@russelldb1593]

You should do a video about how to get more performance out of the vs... im always trying to find new ways to open up my bike ... not to go faster .. just to have the power.... everyone always says you should just get a bigger bike but I like how lightweight it is .. it just wish I had MO POWER BABY HAHAHAHAHA i hope to meet you one day man and help you FOR FREE tear down a motorcycle and clean it and help so you can sell them quicker .. i use to do it to my old buddy matt but he moved .... if you ever need anything .. im in east orlando be safe broski

[@PASSIONBUILT]

I would love to but in all honesty. To squeeze power out of these bikes it costs a lot of money and it’s just not something that’s easily feasible. Side note. With the Mo Power Baby reference. I actually had an interview with James Pumphrey and the producers of Donut Media to be a host on their channel. Unfortunately, I just got an email last week saying I didn’t make the cut. But out of over 3,000 applicants. Myself and 37 others got an interview. So it was pretty exciting. Bummed I didn’t get the host position on Donut Media but that just leaves me here to continue growing the PASSIONBUILT KZbin channel 😎👍🏼

[@dakr3464]

Nooo do the 02 engine! I wana kno if i can swap carbs for fuel injection.

[@PASSIONBUILT]

You can swap a later model engine into an earlier model and vice versa. But swapping carbs to throttle bodies and going fuel injected would require too much unnecessary work. It would be more cost effective to sell your Gen 1 and buy a Gen 2.

[@julieoliver8170]

What about the 2002?

[@PASSIONBUILT]

Engine is pretty much identical to the 2003-2006 models. Single plug design. A few minor differences since it’s carbureted. But it is single plug for each cylinder head.

[@julieoliver8170]
