Project SV650 - .RJ - 07-06-2008

Some of you may remember, I bought an SV650 track bike last year: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://mmsports.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6811">http://mmsports.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6811</a><!-- m -->

When I tossed it into the grass at the last event of last year, one of the frame slider bolts pulled out of the engine case and I broke the shift lever so it was time to take a look at the rest of the bike and tear it down. Unfortunately I found a LOT of things that were poorly assembled, left loose, etc all over the bike.

So I took it all apart :lol:

Got a big chunk of the work done today, and should be able to finish up this week.

I love these pictorials you've been posting up here. I just wish I were there to see the magic happen.

The magic of old busted motorcycles? :lol:

I tore the bike down because of the questionable things I found while looking it over - I had to know just how deep the rabbit hole went. Its not so bad and mostly needed a bunch of maintenance items and cleaning up some 'interesting' engineering.

- Kaan - 07-07-2008

i heard a rumor... let me know if you want a hand with remaking somethings or fixing the "engineering" on it Wink

- .RJ - 07-07-2008

The replacement subframe is rubbish, its going back on ebay. It will be much cheaper to 'fix' the stock one and I cant srsly get worried about a few extra lbs on the motorcycle.

- .RJ - 08-14-2008

Lots more stuff has been done... new wheel bearings, cleaned/greased the chassis bearings, flush the fluids. Nearly ready for the track :!:

Stock subframe installed and seat support "fabricated" ($10 Al flat stock from home depot, bench vice and a drill). Its more better.

I picked up a spare set of carbs to set up with some different jetting - tearing carbs apart at the track is a horrible idea (IMO) so I picked up another set.

Seriously what could go wrong here :lol:

Woot! Did you add a rice capacitor?

- Mike - 08-14-2008

It lights off at 88mph if i put the liquid schwartz in the gas tank Wink

I dunno, some bicycle work? (If you drop off the carbs... not the whole bike :lol: )

- Mike - 08-14-2008

your bicycle is fine.

Translation: I dont want to take the carbs off of the VFR :lol:

- Mike - 08-14-2008

weeeeeeeeeeee

- .RJ - 08-14-2008

I dont blame you, 'cause I dont want to do it either Tongue

Its easier than swapping transmissions....

- .RJ - 08-30-2008

This thing needs more HP. I broke the throttle tube in half at the track today :lol:

Fortunately the guy pitted next to me had a suzuki, and had a spare... saved my weekend. Back to the track tomorrow :thumbup:

so you can go twice as fast?

- .RJ - 08-30-2008

30-40 more hp would sure make chasing down those damn 600's easier Wink

- Apoc - 08-30-2008

So you can win DE?

- .RJ - 08-30-2008

Of course Smile

- .RJ - 08-31-2008

I tried some different carb jetting today at the track and picked up some power - bike was more fun to ride this way Smile Bike was fun and trouble free all weekend - very nice to have with almost 5 hrs of track time available over 2 days. I need to figure out how to put a 600 motor in the frame. Or a supercharger. Or something.
