[@kevingimenez13]

Love that you made this video. My brother bought one with 200 miles circa 2015 and i recently took ownership over it. We’ve only put around 3000 miles on it collectively throughout the years but it really hasn’t given us any issue. It’s an 07 with orange sealant engine number but i gotta double check to see what the sealant actually looks like. I remember within the first hundred miles we rerouted some of the lines that shot oil into the air box and never had to do anything else since other than 1 starter change. It is fairly tough to start cold tho. Once you learn the trick, it’s not so bad. It’s a rad ride and the sound cargoes it’s own character. I have it posted for sale and i almost feel bad about it now since we’ve owned it so long. Ours is mint and knowing it really hasn’t given us any issues other than cold start ups taking a couple mins makes me wanna keep it even longer as an art piece.

[@ME-ru4hv]

Wheres it listed?

[@dreamseller01]

I've had an '08 for 5 years now. Winter starting has always been an issue. I recently had the flywheel bolts wind out and chew out the windings. So I've gotta strip and inspect the engine for other damage. These are a competition bike, not a cruiser. I change oil every 500km. But without doubt the SXV is one of the most fun toys I've owned.

[@GromBeardo]

Yes, I see a GROM! I have a couple Groms and just got an SXV550. Man, we like one extreme to the other, ha, ha. Mine was worked over by Allen years ago, but then the owner didn't do anything to it maintenance wise. I'm in the process of going through the whole thing. It still had the original tires, dated '07. 3,500 miles and it's on it's third starter, that I know of, ha. I've only ripped it around the block, but man, it just wants to go, go, go! Hope to see more SXV videos from you, I'll hopefully be pumping some out here before too long. Stay Rad!

So AF1 racing forum has a ton of info but I have a couple screen shots of the main maintenance practices that I can text or email to you if you give me your info.

[@Lookas_]

@@p20dirtrider well that would be awesome! My email is the following: [e-mail] You said you would only recommend it for short city rides, is there a reason for that? Or is it just the engine not being built for long distance?

[@p20dirtrider]

@@Lookas_ well it depends on how the bike is setup when you buy it. If you go up one tooth in the front sprocket it will be able to cruise at pretty high speeds with no problem. The big thing is you will need the larger tank if your going over 70 miles between stops. The last thing that would really help is a nice squishy seat lol. I have a race seat in my bike and it puts you in an attack possible and is hard like a rock lol. With that being said if I did the things I mentioned above I’m sure it would be pretty darn good.

great video man. I am in love with this bike from the first time i heard it revving and that over 8 years ago.

So they solved pretty much all the issues but now parts availability is getting my scarce. In my opinion it's still worth having one for joy rides but not commuting. I'm going to be making a new video soon explaining some things I wish I knew now after a year or so of owner ship.

[@Viskoze]

2000 km's doesn't mean anything, it should be torn apart anyway. You can get it if you know a mechanic that knows this bike, not just a dude that knows bikes, but this bike specifically. Parts are hard to come by. There are many know-how's that will take hundreds of hours to learn and thousands of dollars if you don't. Plenty of places to screw up even during basic maintenance.

So I would not recommend it as a daily commuter. It's not because the bike is incapable of being reliable. It's more due to the nature of the current parts available for it. They are becoming hard to find. Also if it's stop and go traffic your bikes going to be getting very hot and that's not good for it. With that said I ride my bike almost every weekend and have put about 1000 miles on it with basically no issues at all.

@@p20dirtrider ok thank you very much

[@easypeazystreet1994]

where did you get your oil catch tank?? nice set up tho I'm having issue dripping from there mostly I over filled because checking tube in cold temp...

[@p20dirtrider]

So what I used was a 2inch size (I think) pvc pipe. I capped both ends. On the bottom there is a wing nut with a drain just in case and then I drilled a hole on the side threaded a nipple in to add a breather. The Red Bull can is just a cover lol

[@marc_anton_bike]

You think it'd dit a ktm 890 engine just un case I blow it, thunking of getting better one, but don't know how the previous owner treates it....

Nice info

[@agaloodyowie1]

Amazing bike that's old with new looks! I'm contemplating a sxv450 as there is nothing here in Australia and when they pop up they go fast! It has 9000 klms and had a starter just done and fixed low compression on the rear head. Not sure if the orange seal has been done yet though waiting to hear from the seller. Sounds A1 mechanically so we will see. It's a 2006 but so rare I need it even if a rebuild is needed down the track as it will be like a Katana or gpz750 turbo in the future with rarity. Any advice what to look for in buying one? Cheers!

[@p20dirtrider]

Honestly just like your saying they are becoming so rare and the future of high-power lightweight supermoto looks very dim. Just think in the last 10 years nothing has come close. I just got to ride a husky 701,don't get me wrong it's a beautiful bike but performance wise it's not even a comparison. Ask the guy if it's had a proper tune done and look at the engine case seam for sealant type. Check the oil in the sight tube after a good ten minute ride to make sure the level is close to the max line. If it looks taken care of and never wrecked I would buy it.

[@MiguelRodriguez-fc5er]

Where did you go to tune it ?

[@p20dirtrider]

I sent it to Alan Noland in Maryland

Bro we need more vid

[@ClockWorkJake]

So... I recently found one, & am thinking about pulling the trigger on it & buying it.. BUT, it's already up there in miles at 12k+.... With that many miles I figure I can assume the orange sealant & starter issues have been sorted, among other things... My main question though... is at some point I assume the engine is just going to need replacing, like the block itself.... Is there any way to replace it if that's ever the case? And from what I understand, it basically needs a full rebuild roughly every 5k miles... AANY IDEA what I can expect that to run... like ballpark? I FULLY EXPECT the bike to cost more to own than it will to actually buy it, but I think if I can figure out how to either keep the engine from needing a full replacement, through regular maintainence & rebuilds at intervals... I'd be interested to know if it'd even be possible to keep it running upto & beyond 35..40k... Thanks for making the video, & doubly so if you take the time to respond Cheers

[@p20dirtrider]

So if you get it rebuilt right from the start by a known professional (Alan Noland) or Amuri in California. Then you should be able to make it 10-14000 depending upon what type of riding you will be doing. Honestly I use my bike for weekend joy rides here and there. I try not to put miles on it because of how rare they are. In any case parts are come and go. Sometimes you can find full engines and parts and other times your waiting months.

one used in my area is 11k... as much as i really want this bike im not spending 11k on a used one.

Can you send the shop info

[@p20dirtrider]

I am an aircraft mechanic and this is my hobby on the side. I’ll send you a list of common procedures though.

I have two of them. Might sell one of them. Both at Alan shop now getting freshened. Good video bro

@@MrRoostersRides I definitely want another bike to put miles on daily so I can keep my SXV mint but I could never let mine go lol maybe my mind will change with time but everytime I ride I’m so pumped up haha.

The fastest supermotos are KTM 690 and husavarna 701

I have rode the 701 and it's literally dead slow compared to my sxv. Just my experience

@@tylerdurden8632 I have not had mine Dyno tuned and obviously every Dyno is a little bit different but my friend has the same tune and mods except for high compression pistons and his bike made 79hp at the wheel. My bike with stock gearing hits 128 and can wheelie at 70mph no clutch. A 690/701 could not do that with insane amounts of motorwork. Not trying to start a war lol just saying what I've experienced.
