Posted: 22:11 - 22 Sep 2017 Post subject: Super twin for the road. |
|
|
So here we are, many of you may have noticed that I am somewhat of a fan of the SV650. I have defended it at times, presented it's advantages at others and now it is time to put my money where my mouth is.
I'm going to build a road focused supertwin based on an '00 SV650.
This is the donor bike:

https://s26.postimg.cc/74pha5tzd/20170912_203531.jpg
The motor is deaded, it doesn't charge and it smokes. It has only done 30k miles but was sat for 5 years and I believe it has a stuck ring/potential cylinder damage. The motor will be replaced.
The bare frame is a thing of beauty, particularly after a degrease.
https://s26.postimg.cc/ssefkludl/20170919_165145.jpg
The aim is to lighten the bike to the point of ridiculousness and increase it's handling. Aluminium subframe/clock mount, total loss system with lightened flywheel, relocated battery, race fairings, GSXR front end, matching shock etc. Motor mods will be limited to a cam swap, dynojet, filter, pipe etc.
Living on the Isle of Wight, with some seriously tight roads this should be the be all and end all of weekend warrior bikes. ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

Not as interesting as the potential twin cylinder CG cafe bike, but hell the man still keeps coming out with fair bike build ideas and machines!
Would like to see this SV in black and gold with dymag's, Ohlins and a full 100bhp hand grenade motor build, but I'm just being a pervert so carry on as you were. |

After a long hiatus, mainly spent sourcing parts and researching I have many updates.
Behold the Chinese bike ramp of shinyness:
https://s9.postimg.cc/v0psjglxr/26239119_10156027202993485_8738494835657202288_n.jpg
https://s9.postimg.cc/8c0lk075r/26231449_10156027203028485_5419531355604915428_n.jpg
Other than the obviously identifiable suspension/brake parts there is a lightened full charge flywheel/starter clutch that allows standard charging but with a 2lb weight saving over standard, a factory pro stage 2 induction/jet kit with tank spacers and a dedicated BMC 205/10 open top air filter, shorei lightweight lithium battery and front cylinder relocation battery tray and an aftermarket bare ally rad/blue hose kit because bling.
After a bit of blasting/polishing work, new 320mm discs, a tyre and powdercoat:
https://s9.postimg.cc/vriip4lpb/26951857_10156059189298485_3967086656379656420_o.jpg
We have a GSXR front end! It is built from 98' 750 SRAD yokes which fit the SV ignition but allow for later style GSXR forks. K4 GSXR1000 forks, SRAD rim, SRAD spindle, titanium caliper and disc bolts with stainless for the yokes and K7 aftermarket clip-ons.
https://s9.postimg.cc/e1gu4fnnj/26731738_10156038504783485_3087146822424461730_n.jpg

In these pics the bike has also sprouted a GSXR 750 K4 shock and an aftermarket bare ally rad. The calipers and master are from an LO (2010) model GSXR600. The fork/caliper combo allows 320mm discs to be fitted without spacers being needed to allow the calipers to clear the discs.
https://s9.postimg.cc/6y8yord27/27067685_10156059119803485_7017836290488348381_n.jpg
Rear SV rim in anthracite powdercoat to match the front.

With new supermaxx sport tyre to match the front. I like these tyres, cheap but enough grip and good balance of longevity/performance.
https://s9.postimg.cc/hmcpnma6n/26906944_10156059120093485_3082548403090171549_n.jpg

Swingarm, stand and sprocket carrier powdercoated satin black.
I am awaiting a delivery of swingarm and rod linkage bearings and then I can reassemble the back end properly. ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

Good to see it moving forward. No bracing of the swingarm for the extra ponies it's going to have? ____________________ My Flickr |

If JHS don't consider it necessary with 100+ rwhp I don't think I'm going to run into issues.
https://s9.postimg.cc/np7bavezj/seat-unit-bike.jpg
It's nice to see it coming together, and I'm in talks with Gregg Spears in the states about sourcing some more parts for the motor, namely a shift kit, kit headgasket for a bit more squish and maybe a set of APE studs and nuts for the heads. He is trying to get me to buy 41mm flatslides presently but I'm not buying it... Or them. haha. ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

looks good so far.
Should have been an all black frame and swing arm (or all silver...) rather than the mix and match look ____________________ Current : '08 Yamaha FZ1s

After another long hiatus, I have been on this again.
Motor is in the frame and bolted with carbs in place, have been doing lots of little odds and ends when I have time.
https://i.postimg.cc/vmqSc7ph/IMG-20191211-151737275.jpg
It doesn't look very much further on but it's vastly further on than it was. Exhaust is mounted up, it's a bit of a lash up but is only missing the rear hanger. This is to get it fired, an M4 system is on the shopping list.
https://i.postimg.cc/s2k76vSy/IMG-20191213-143255398.jpg
I made a sheet aluminium undertray for it and have the components in place. I'm in the middle of chopping/repairing the loom to fit.
https://i.postimg.cc/1tdTY0BX/IMG-20191211-144259929.jpg
Stripped and painted up the rear torque arm for the brake and got it refitted with a new braided line.
https://i.postimg.cc/VLwQyg10/IMG-20191206-115828719.jpg
Front cylinder battery tray mounted, with an extra little bracket to retain the rad as it is a slightly enlarged item over stock and doesn't sit as far back as the original. Rad also has the fan/temp switch moutned now. I may remove it if it doesn't run into cooling issues though, to save weight.
https://i.postimg.cc/ZqwKngbQ/IMG-20191211-144207892.jpg
Cheap hack 1/4 turn throttle tube installed. It's a 2004/5 R6 -5slb?- tube which fits in thev standard housing but has a larger cam, dramatically cutting down the SV's 'learner friendly' throttle travel.
Will update as I get further and further on, loom is going to take time but I might post progress pics of it. ____________________ Bikes: too many, too much for one man to maintain anyway. |

Gotta say, I'm not keen on those blue rad hoses. Or are they designed to handle higher pressures or something? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

They look just about exactly the same colour as the paint at least. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
