SV Exhaust system

[LustyLew]

Will a complete exhaust system from an older style SV650, fit on the newer?

I have my eye on this.

What I find strange is that the answer to the first question is "it came off a curvy" but the second answer is "It came off a 2003 [pointy] model"

I think there is a difference beacuse the pointy models had an oil cooler added. The pipe has more of an angle at the front cyclinder. The Micron pipes shown look like they're off a pointy, but I'm not 100% sure. Ask the seller if he has a pick of it on the bike.

No, it won't fit.


Sign up to www.sv650.org on the forum. They can confirm this.

I think it will. Not because they are interchangeable between pointy and curvy, but because I think that particular system is for a pointy. It has a double bend in the pipe from the front cylinder.

Messaged the guy asking if he has a pic. Watch this space.

Well, I spoke with him. It was frmo a curvy frame one. apparantly it was made just before they changed the model. Looking at the two side by side, I dont think it would fit.

It won't fit. Why do you want to change it though. I've left mine as standard and get loads of people saying my bike sounds really nice. It's also a lot easier on the ears if you do a high milage plus and ultimately my reason for not removing the standard is that IMO any bike less than 750cc sounds tinny with a race can. Only large capacity bikes sound fruity enough to pull it off. The rest are just annoying.

Plus the SV is a skinny little thing and the large standard muffler leaves people in no doubt its a 650cc and not a cbr125 that Dodsi thought mine was last week

Jimmy - 1 - Have you ever used a bike before thats had a race system on it? It doesn't take that much getting used to when you're on the motorway so it's just as easy to use with a standard can on than it is with a race system on. Should be wearing earplugs anyway so I don't see how it makes a difference.

2 - A race system on a machine can compeltely change the power delivery and improve it (or so the owner may feel)

3 - Tinny sounds from an sv650? Okay so my firestorm does sound meatier but the sv was far from tinny when it sounded like this
