    Legend has it that wheeling it for a prolonged time will starve the front cylinder of oil turning it into a SFV325.

      It was the first generation this would happen to, there is supposidly an aftermarket fix ,that I have not done. Suzuki fixed the problem with the second generation. But yes it was a very real thing.

      It was an issue on earlier carburetor versions, suzuki fixed it by adding fuel injection on later versions

      @@wilmawife I was surfing around forums the other day about this. Apparently there is a wheelie school that uses 1st gen SV650 (curvy frame) and that bike has survived hundreds if not thousands of hours up on one wheel. The poster said he asked the school about this issue and they have NEVER heard of it. The guy had videos and photos and everything lol

    You must be the only one that said it was a good looking bike. Suzuki took such a kicking with this model they went back to the SV650 two years later.

      Right. I'm not sure how they messed up the original. I read that Suzuki made the Gladius more female-friendly. Shorter seat height. The 2009 is offered in an ugly blue and white color scheme.

    Been riding most of my life.Had a hell of alot.just bought a 2010 sfv.And alot of bikers don't like them.hand on heart I love it.its light.the gearbox is smooth. The engine pulls well.the brakes are good. It's comfortable. It's alot of bike for little money.130mph.Dont care what people think.

    Would you recommend this to someone who's looking to step up from a GS500 (after two years, had a CBF250 before that) and is looking for a commuter with good amounts of torque but also something to carve the canyons with on weekends on a budget?

    • @yatesy2909
      @yatesy2909 6 років тому +3

      Mate I'm the exact same! I'm currently fly on a GS500 and I just bought an SFV650. I reckon it's a great step up as full power models are around 71HP

    best "railer" ever made.. a good rider will absolutely smoke a liter bike on twisties and mountains on a beefed up sv650.. first Gen, drop in full Yoshi exhaust, air kit, breather mod, Gsxr fork mod and bump it up to 82hp.. if you can ride, nothing will catch you on twisties.. best handling bike around.

    • @lifeisgood070
      @lifeisgood070 5 років тому +1

      How do you bump it up to 82hp? Take out the cat?
      edit: you're right it's very easy to outpace sport bikes in the twisties. But the rear tire profile does suck a bit if you lean over past the pegs.
