I've loved binging this bikes progression man. glad to see she's still coming together to this day! I recently picked up a 07 sv650. the previous guy used it primarily as a track bike so there's things I'm not understanding regarding the wiring that looking at diagrams isn't solving. Some things to note first: I have the same brembo kit! It doesn't have a pressure switch so the blue and red wires are free hanging; front turn signals have been deleted and I can't find leads to plug new ones into. A LED headlamp was added but has its power running straight from the battery and has wires I'm assuming are used as signal wires going directly into the rear fuse box Head-low/high 10amp fuses. My tach/speedo/turn signal/high beam lights are not receiving power, however the green neutral/red oil light turn on...? Popping open the plastic back of the speedo reveals three free hanging wires, a yellow, WHITE/black, white. Two random plastic 2 pin connectors, both with a BLACK/white wire, one with a black wire and the other with a cyan(very light blue?) wire. I assume these were taken apart from the white connector that should house those wires + a brown wire, but cant find the brown wire nor can I figure out what that white connector would have even plugged into in the first place. I'm wondering if that white connector that I'm missing is preventing the speedo lights to work properly. It like a real mess to me since I'm new to figuring out wiring harnesses lol, and I kind of set myself up for more of a project then I anticipated. You seem a lot more competent with wire knowledge then forum lurkers so I thought I'd drop a comment and ask if you have any advise on how to solve that speedo problem!

I once bought a track bike with the intention to make it street legal. It's always more of a project than you think it'll be, and gets real expensive real quick. I abandoned the stock speedo a long time ago so I'm not sure about the lights not coming on. Sounds like the previous owner disabled them and only left the ones needed for the track. Although I'm not sure if having the lights in place completes a circuit to make the dash lights come on? I'm actually going to be working on it tonight so I'll shoot a video of the stock wiring stuff and shoot you the link to see if that helps. As much as it would suck to swap out, getting a stock wiring harness from a parted out bike on ebay might be a good option to start over.

Good luck with bleeding those brakes. I had that model gsxr front end on my sv and they were a pain. My running theory is that air is prone to getting trapped behind the pistons.

Glad to hear it’s not just me, I feel like I’m losing my mind with these brakes! Been looking at the same year GSXR1000 Brembo calipers that apparently bolt right up with SV1000 discs, maybe that’ll help
