Great video, very straightforward! I'm useless at this stuff and you made this an easy job for me!! Thank you!:D

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You're very welcome, hope you got out on it to enjoy the brief bit of sun, I haven't yet as the battery is flat :-(

[@ConsumeYourSoul619]

thanks for the video I just changed the oil in my sv650s for the first time. Wish I could've found a white one, yours looks great!

[@tastethepilkay5534]

Love how the video is 6:50

[@HatBoyHarvey]

WOW, Great, I never noticed that :-)

[@1986wake1986]

Great video. Exactly what I needed to watch!! :)

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thanks, glad it was helpful :-)

[@TheDesmondp71]

Very helpful and straight forward. Thank you

[@dronus]

Hella dark. Nice video. I got a 2005 in Yellow. Going to rebuild rear master cylinder and finish the tune up and, I got an hr ride planned tomorrow evening with a buddy. 🙌🏾

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Good luck with the rebuild and ride :-)

[@dronus]

@@HatBoyHarvey I took the master cylinder off and didn't know wtf I was doing, so I put it back and still no rear brakes. But I did take it our for an hr ride with my buddy with no rear brakes. I'm live in the country so it was alright. Front isn't as stiff and wobbles from time to time. I check the front and there's no movement, so going to check tire pressure tomorrow. After watching youtube videos, I realized my master cylinder is seized, so taking it apart again tomorrow but adding some heat to it this time. First time riding a sports bike and I think it went alright. 🤔 cheers!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@@dronus you may get the cylinder free and if you're experienced get it working again, but it will likely seize again in the near future due again to the corrosion that builds up. In my experience these are worth a new caliper. :-)

[@dronus]

@@HatBoyHarvey the bike has low miles and was sitting for about 4/5 years. Hopefully I won't have to buy a new master cylinder. Thanks for the advice. 🙏

[@diggy-d8w]

Yeah, this bike made it simple for changing the oil but I just know there are lazy folks who couldn't manage to get it done.... lol, you still riding this bike? She's very good looking, a sharp looker & I'm not looking for a street only cycle but this one is one of the few street bikes that I fancy. Someone was telling me this bike doesn't cost as high to insure as many of the 600's on the road? I don't know how/why I came to believe that but I heard it somewhere.... thanks for the video // peace

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@@diggy-d8w I'm thinking of selling it as I don't use it much at all now. It's done just 7k sitting in my garage under a cover for me to just start it up now and again. I have it MOT'D and insured, just need to tax it to ride it. Maybe on a nice sunny day I will ;-)

[@diggy-d8w]

Well, I'm happier to hear she's still able to be ridden & hopefully you get the time or pass her on to someone else? I'm on the wrong side of the pond & looking more at a Dual Sport but when I saw the bike I had to watch the video - she's nice. You be safe out there....

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@@diggy-d8w thanks, hope you find a great bike too, stay safe :-)

[@diggy-d8w]

Yeah, I'll make whatever I get work out but if I do decide for a street only, Your Bike has sold me on the SV650 & since looking at yours.... I've found that a lot of Track Riders select this bike as well. That tells volumes to me. Keep the rubber side down

[@tonymacdonald2870]

Hope all well thanks and love the bike

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you for you're support, I greatly appreciate the comment :-). An elderly relative taken acutely ill and is now back home after quite a scare. I haven't slept for 2 nights, but will be back on schedule to post a great new video this next week :-)

[@LEON..D]

Thank you :)

[@HatBoyHarvey]

No problem 😊

[@blackbeard1074]

Did you have to tune bike for your slip on m8

[@HatBoyHarvey]

No, worked straight out of the box

[@benedekdavid517]

Hello! How much is the correct torque?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

I've left torque settings in the description, thanks for watching :-)

[@deadlyvenom9069]

very much appreciated!

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you, glad it helped :-)

[@shawntudor7214]

thank you very much.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

You are welcome :-)

[@martincox8250]

Is this an SV650 you own Harvey? I would like to know what you think of it as I am looking to buy one? Any advice? Thanks.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

They are a very good buy, cheap reliable, plenty of power to have fun, easy to restrict if you have to, great handling, lightweight, frugal, v twin power gives smooth consistent power up to about 130mph . I've had an earlier one of these and loved it, but I'm not riding this one much at the moment.

[@martincox8250]

@@HatBoyHarvey thank you. I am on the hunt for one now. Your white SV looks great. Appreciate your reply.

[@slapabiker]

Do i really have to change the washer? Because I have no idea where to buy that here

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Optional for many, bare in mind these washers are crush washers and seal well with first use only :-)

[@slapabiker]

​@@HatBoyHarvey Okay! Well what do I do if I dont own a torque wrench And I dont want to strip the treads?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@@slapabiker you have to do it by feel, remembering it is aluminium so gently does it! Really it's nothing to worry about - tighten it enough to stop it leaking and a tad more and your good to go. Best done with a new washer, but if not no worries again and enjoy the ride. Just remember to check the level now and again and the bolt :-)

[@slapabiker]

@HatBoyHarvey i actually chose to buy new bolt and washer aswell!

[@wakaza2]

Why not fill it up to F? Is it better to leave it between F and L? New rider here, genuinely curious.

[@HatBoyHarvey]

The window is really useful on these to keep an eye on the level, not easy to hold the bike exactly vertical though, so there can be a margin of error and also settlement after filling the bike. Over-filling an engine can cause 'dipping' where engine oil comes into contact with the crankshaft interfering with it, increasing friction, leading to engine damage over time. Under-filling doesn't allow enough oil to lubricate all parts adequately, so both are bad for the engine. So to be sure you are filling the engine adequately a high and low mark are given. Anywhere between these is ok with the optimum in the middle, but if you aim to keep the level in the middle it also allows for a margin of error.

[@d.i.v2811]

hello ,i just did the oil change,and now the bike shifts very hard any advice? i changed the oil filtre the oil level is good the oil is 10w40 it shifted a little bit hard before the oil but now shifts even worse

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Maybe the clutch just needs adjusting

[@d.i.v2811]

@@HatBoyHarvey thanks i will do that!

[@nonamesixx]

i don't understand, i can't get the drain bolt off, i don't know if i'm not using the right tool but it won't move at all

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Silly question, are you 100% you are turning it the right way?

[@nonamesixx]

@@HatBoyHarvey I believe so, counter clockwise right ? I was getting really confused and had tried it both ways just to make sure I was doing it the right way but still couldn't get it off

[@nonamesixx]

@@HatBoyHarvey I also was using a socket wrench, should I try i different tool ?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

impact driver, but I would be careful or small taps on the socket head. Don't break anything as itsan alloy casing. Tuff thing on these is the likely galvanic corrosion between differing metals. have a look at project farms video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roaooJVopKZ-jNU on penatrating oils, he recomends: amzn.to/3DSbZJV

[@nonamesixx]

@@HatBoyHarvey Thanks a lot for the input, i'll try that next and see how it goes 👍🏽

[@d.i.v2811]

hello how much oil do you use how many liters did you put in it and what kind, is it 10w40?

[@HatBoyHarvey]

@ 2:05 in the video or I have now put these in the description. I used Shell advanced :-)

[@d.i.v2811]

thank you!

[@maxanonym8171]

400ml Oil only for Filter ? Sure ??

[@HatBoyHarvey]

I am just quoting the technical data. I measured 400ml of water in a jug and this seems correct to me for the size of filter.

[@ChunkyBoYPayUp]

Hope all goes well mate, get well soon , thanks 🙏 for the upload

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Thank you for you're kind support, most appreciated. It wasn't me, it was an elderly relative and is now back home after quite a scare. :-/

[@thetrapdoorpig]

Anti clockwise then turns it clockwise? 😂

[@HatBoyHarvey]

Did you miss the clicks on the ratchet when I turn it clockwise obviously before engaging the ratchet to loosen the bolt anti-clockwise? :)

[@thetrapdoorpig]

I guess you're right looking at it now I was thinking of it as a clock on the floor rather than on the bolt. Luckily your tutorial is very clear and filmed nicely so I was able to easily see how you did it and copy :)
