Suzuki SV650: a long-term review (after 28.000 km)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I talk about the Suzuki SV650 after almost 3 years of ownership and 28.000 km. I do not go into details because I already made a long-term review video. Here I cover different aspects like: the ride, the engine, touring and two up ride, but also reliability. Like any bike also this one has its positives and negatives. Hope this video will be useful for all those interested in the SV650. Overall I am very satisfied with this bike. In this video I also answer three main questions about it. Would I recommend it? Would I buy it once again? Would I change it for any other bike? This is my honest long-term review of the Suzuki SV650. Enjoy.

    I love naked bikes, the SV 650 are a fantastic bike, although I am in fear that they will be discontinued with Suzuki bringing in the parallel twins. I am such a big fan of Suzuki as you know. On my Suzuki GSX S 1000 I needed to change the seat as I find a lot of stock seat very uncomfortable. I also used the Dunlop roadsmart 3 tyers and I love them. Take Care Mate.

    Hola buenas... Yo tengo la misma moto desde hace una semana... Y espero no arrepentirme... En principio está moto tiene una personalidad propia y me parece súper versátil... En España la tengo limitada a 35KW con el permiso de A2... Cuando tenga el permiso de A podré deslimitar hasta el máximo de sus caballos oficiales... Una pregunta... La motocicleta tiene 3000km Podría usted decirme cada cuánto kms se realiza revisión y sobre el tren de arrastre también algún consejo?... Por cierto el vídeo genial... Mándeme enlace de los accesorios ... Un saludo 🙋

    Muchísimas gracias. The service interval is at 12.000 km. At least this is in my country. You should change the spark plugs at 18.000. I did it at that km. This is the only major work that it is a bit costly, otherwise services are cheap. When your bike will be older you will be able to do the regular oil/filter service at home. I have installed the GIVI rack for the top case and also the GIVI tank ring. This is all. I have a friend with the older Vstrom that has almost the same engine and he covered 190.000 km without problems. Just doing regular maintenance. You are gonna be very happy with this bike.
