Welcome to the channel. We will be doing different videos from gaming to cars and maybe even a walk through the woods. Always open for suggestions and feed back. I am a noob at this and hope you enjoy your time here.
Selling the SV?
The SV 650 is up for sale. Looking for a new bike, but due to my living situation this has to go before I get something else. It's a great bike and I will miss it if it goes. I'll probably kick myself for getting rid of it in the first place but only time will tell.

Nelson Rigg Commuter series touring model tail bag quick review. Love having it and wish I purchased one sooner. But would recommend getting a rack on the rear for a hard case or tail bag.

Awesome cruise to Lake Placid NY. Home of the 1932 and 1980 winter Olympics. Went up with a group but had to split off after lunch. I hope you all enjoy the amazing views up here. Also enjoy the ski jump. It is so much bigger that it looks on TV. Audio was so bad. Hope y'all enjoy the music instead. The views are so beautiful.

It looks like you have a visual throttle position indicator. Is that 3d printed? Where did you get that from?
Where are you located?
Soooo… Where’s the Nelson-Rigg bag review? And I SWEAR I’ve seen this ‘getting lost’ video somewhere before… 😉
It's what you make of it. Just wanted to show it. People have been saying some of my videos are to long. I just tried to sum it up as best I could on a whim.
@@doobasorus420 Heh, but isn’t this the wrong video? Your ‘selling’ one had it in the picture (looks nice, btw) but didn’t see it at all in this one. If you were closer, I’d try buying the Yoshi Alpha from you! LOL… As for video length, you can’t please everyone. Especially when they don’t have the attention span to watch a UA-cam Short!
@@troyjollimore4100 yeah, it was the UA-cam recommended thumbnail. I didn't take a pic to upload for the video. I know I can't please everyone but I try.
I think I would get a rack for the back and a helmet holder
Would definitely recommend a rack on the back. Either for a bag, hard case or for a helmet.
I like the windshield
Thank you. It's a Givi A3111
Picking mine up tomorrow, first time rider age 30.
Hope you are enjoying your new bike. Its a great bike overall. I love it. But have put mine up for sale.
My chinese 125cc has a bigger front disc than the suzuki sv 650 why is that?
There are some things that Suzuki cheeps out on with this bike. I guess they are going with if its not broke don't fix it.
Slow framerate video
Sorry for that. I record at 4k60.
suzuki finishes have always been shit, ive had several and must have shares in wd 40 by now, just keep em sprayed and they soldier on.
I should have bought shares, I do spray it regularly to keep it from getting any worse.
Grasshoppers love the smell of esters. Maybe there is some residue around the brake reservoir.
Why are riding for 6 hours,.. no wonder it’s not comfortable, nobody I know rides for more than 90 mins or two hours without getting off. It’s not a car! Or a touring bike😮
it was a 6 hour trip. only time i stopped and got off the bike was for fuel.
That the bilt jacket? We got the same setup lol. What year?
2022
Cool, this is about 10 minutes from me; Rexford/Clifton Park
They are doing one more if you're interested in going. Its Sept 29th, starts at 9 am
@@doobasorus420 thank you!
video could have been 1-2 minutes long.
Great advice! Ride safe
First viewer!! Woo hoooo
I have 2020, same windscreen. I see you ride at 5k rpm, that’s your fuel consumption. There’s an extra gear. I’m 205, Ohio. Same rust, and torque curve is 4500 rpm, I average 65-68 non highway, 58 highway (65-80) ((6k rpm = 58 mpg )) safe ride, but also ride however comfortable just my thought.
1:16 Why don't you put your left foot on the foot peg first and then swing over the other leg? That way you can stand on the bike and lift the other leg over it more easily. I've always done this with a slightly higher bike because I'm short too :) You can even get on your bike this way from the other side. Just start with your right foot on the right foot peg first.
I just bought a 2024 SV650 and thinking about getting that windscreen. Does it keep the wind, at least, off your chest? My daily commute is on the highway for at least 30 minutes at 75 mph. Please tell me.
It moves the wind to my shoulders, still a lot in the face though. you can kinda tuck with it and it helps. I'm 5'7 for reference.
Have been riding since 1978 summer and winter, rain or snow. Commuting, weekend visits to family, Christmas, New Years Eve, holidays in France, Italy, Schweiz and Austria. Strange to hear a newbie complaining about riding in the rain in a T-shirt and jeans - afterwards saying it's not a problem. Don't do it. Use proper rain gear. It's cheap! If you got more than a two cent brain you will find that the SV650 is an excellent bike. Edit: 68 MPG is what I get. Experience counts.
I know and have since bought some rain gear. I'm sure you've heard it before but I was just going out to make a quick stop. Since than I never go out with out gear on and have also bought armored riding pants.
I hate those tiny digital displays, they really take from the look of the bike, for Gods sake bring back Analogue dials........ Those digital displays are like something you'd see on a shitty electric bicycle !
my first bike was a 2001, in 2002. watching this brought back memories. once i finish my 2000 vulcan 1500 bobber build i’ll be getting another sv650. 🤙🏽
That's a smart upgrade. Helps with comfort, and will prevent fatigue and discomfort. Big confidence builder imo. All you have to do is unscrew those tethers from the old seat and screw them in to the new one. They're usually self tappers.
What's up! We're both in Upstate NY! Let's link up for a ride sometime bro. Wife and I are going to Cycle Gear meet up today on Wolf Rd at 5pm if you can make it. Keep up the content!!!
I'll try to make it but won't have the bike. Its still in storage.
@@doobasorus420 👍
Nice bike, got mine last month and love the look
As far as I understand, the two straps under the seat should be used to lock the driver's and passenger's helmets
Yes, you can also use them as a tie down point.
you're talking way too much, exiting out,
😂
That's what I do. I babble way to much. If you don't like it this might not be the channel for you.
Can i put microATX motherboard with this case??
I believe you can, I swapped what I had from a pre built.
My (new) jerks a lot by Gear change...
Check your chain. Make sure it is adjusted properly. Mine was adjusted too tight from the dealer and it felt jerky until i adjusted it.
Garlic Festival, Blue Ben Diner, Little Britain Fish Fry, The Apple Barn...... Lots to love. I rip through there a few times a year and also love Manchester to the North.
Beautiful places to ride in upstate New York. The north east in general have some amazing scenery.
if youre fine with it. painting/wrapping/powder coating the chrome headlight ring to black gives the bike a heavier form
With windshield and a rack on the back could you take the bike touring?
Yes you could but would recommend a seat upgrade. Also some sort of cruise control device.
Hi there! Thank you for sharing this video. I have the same bike over a year now and I really enjoy it! Question: what is this attached on the left part of the throttle?
It's a cheap version of cruise control, it's enough to give your hand a break. It's not good enough to hold an accurate speed but does the job. There are a few versions of this.
Just got my sv650 and yes it has power but I think I made a great choice. It seems I will get much more use out of it than if I bought a true beginner bike. It’s a great fit for me bc I know I’m not the type to panic or get whiskey throttle. Just being honest with myself about my ability really paid off.
It's a great bike 💪
I was the same when I got it. I'm not at all disappointed with the bike or it's abilities. In the two years riding it I have learned about what I would like in the next bike and my riding style.
Deciduous trees are the ones that shed their leaves. 🍂👍
Thank you , the words were escaping my mind at the time.
Most vehicles I have ever had whether cars or bikes - the speedo reads faster than actual speed usually by 5-8% . . . less risk of getting a speeding ticket. If you want true speed have GPS connected. I have a Garmin XT on my FJR1300 so it gives me the true speed but I tend to ride very sedately most of time so I'm never usually the fastest vehicle on the highway.
I did use a gps and that's when I found out it was off. Didn't bother to calculate the percentage what from what I have read it is 5-8%
What gloves are those? they look awesome
They are a pair of Joe Rocket gloves. they are my favorite pair. I have short fat fingers and they are the best fit for me. Not a lot of protection but comfortable even for long rides.
I was looking at the versys 650 as my next bike, but now I'm kind of interested in the v-strom with its v twin... it's dated, sure, but as long as it goes and its reliable is all I care about it.
👍
Why is it some bikes you need to downshift to get power? With this bike you can stay in 6th at 60mph & give it the beans & get to 80 pretty quickly.
I would guess it's the v twin. The inline 4's don't make power till you get higher in the revs. It's a great around town bike.
The sv650 is so smooth to ride 💪
Getting your last few rides in I guess.
I'm trying to, but it's going into storage next weekend. We had snow the other day so it's time.
install a vstrom engine cover it will look much better
I've seen a few people do it and I do like it.
Fun watching your riding videos as I grew up in upstate New York. Seriously considering buying the SV as I'm 42 and looking for some thrills and something new.
Thank you. It's a great bike, but I am considering something else to ride.
Washing as you do is fine. I do it frequently and religiously. Those who say it's not neccessary or the cause of corrosion or whatever are incorrect. But, buy yourself an inexpensive electric leaf blower. I use for spot free drying after wash and blows every drop of water out of every nook and cranny. I never hand dry and as noted spot free dry. I often use spray wax / detailer after. Not much area to do on the SV. Tank and plastic around seat. Ride safe.
I haven't thought of that but it's a great idea, thank you.
Per rust, surface rust like I would guess (can't see it) clean and polish is necessary. Long time biker, collected car guy and detailer. Rust is normal per exposure to the elements. Gotta do the maintenance regularly. Glass cleaner, Windex or Pledge wipes work well. A little cream polish with microfiber if needed. I take the wipes to the fork often.
Running it in is for you to get used to the bike as well as the engine. Be aware you're made of meat and bones and everything else, mostly, isn't. Enjoy, I've been riding since '81 and still love it, Gs11 and Benelli 500 trail, both my babies 🏍️, keep at it you're doing great 😃👍
Beautiful sounding bike, ya I'm brooding at the moment 😎
Thank you.
Thanks I do get a bad case of numb bum after a few hours.
It's worth the upgrade, but you might want to look at the corbin seat. It is more expensive.
I noticed on one of your other videos that you kept your hi beam on for visibility. I don't blame you, because on my new SV I did the same. The halogen light is joke. If you haven't changed it out you might consider what I put in. It's a Cyclops brand H4 LED replacement bulb. Fairly easy to put in and cheaper than the whole replacement light. Big difference! Now the dummies can see you coming. Best upgrade for the $, about $89 US.
Nice video dude keep up the good work
2008 Hayabusa and 2011 Street Triple an still no rust riding in different weather.
I think I got the one missed by quality control.
