sv650/sv1000 maintenance items and intervals

[@crazybiscut]

That fact you keep saying "no one has ever done this" convinced me to get this motorcycle

[@Mad8vCycles]

They do manage to survive a bit of neglect

[@thomaskniffen7992]

50% of this video was about stuff nobody ever does, great video would watch again 👍

[@Mad8vCycles]

Hey maybe it will motivate someone to actually do some of it

[@ploutos7517]

​@@Mad8vCycles Was looking for exactly that as I am planning to keeping my 20yo Sv for a long time!

[@matttriestodothings]

This was much more fun to watch than to actually read out of the manual! Great vid--reminds me of all the maintenance I need to do for the controls and front end. I'm guessing my steering bearings have never been done. If you and Tripod ever want to turn this format into a series of questions and answers... I've got a whole slew of questions I can't quite figure the answer out to. A lot of them are probably just "figure it out" though.

[@Mad8vCycles]

Always happy to get ideas for vids dude

[@user-ne1zk7fe6q]

Сергей, спасибо за видео! Я понял, что мой мотоцикл ещё неплохо обслужен. Ну может шланги осталось поменять.

[@vanleefe2925]

that was a good video.

[@parcero83]

I feel so happy to hear that no one has done those things! Lol. I don’t know if you have a video about changing brake pads on front & back and doing the brake fluid change. I would like to do some of these maintenance items in the winter.

Most of the bikes we have come in for fork service have mud for fork oil

[@Mad8vCycles]

Yeeep and smells like death

[@astonea7543]

Just upgraded to an sv1000 and all I’ve had is problems with the slave cylinder really frustrating

[@Mad8vCycles]

Swap to cable! Spears sells a kit

[@stanza77]

For those fork seals what weight and brand oil would you recommend? Also I know it’s not gonna be in the manual but what are your suggestions for clutch “chudder”

[@Mad8vCycles]

Depending on the rider and if there are emulators. 15w is usually decent without emulators. 10w with The best bet with the basket is sending it to werks

[@stanza77]

@@Mad8vCycles appreciate it, sir!

[@VroomNPew]

When you say stator magnets, is that just replacing the stator itself? Necessary on the 650 as well? Thanks again

[@Mad8vCycles]

flywheel not stator. most people just jbweld the spaces between the magnets on the flywheel. only sv1000.

[@tw6946]

So I dont know everything about bikes, I have the sv1000s and I noticed there's two radiator things on the front of the bike. Are those filled with fluids? air cooler or liquid coolers?

[@Mad8vCycles]

top is the coolant radiator, bottom is the oil cooler

[@7782Bouras]

Radiator and brake fluids i do them every 2 years so thats 1 out of everybody . also with 17 coffee my piss is crystal clear like water so instead of your sv you might need to go to an urologist

[@troyjollimore4100]

Meh. What would YOU know? 😉 Fuel line? I think we replaced most of it on my Shadow for the first time. My 1983 Shadow… 😄

[@Mad8vCycles]

39 years is fiiiiine.... :p

[@troyjollimore4100]

@@Mad8vCycles The rubber fuel line was fine. The smaller tubing? That was disintegrating as soon as you touched it! “Well? Don’t TOUCH it and it’ll be fine…” 😄
