Damn, I really like these chill rides & small talks. More of these please. And you could maybe do pros&cons of owning SXV 5.5, that would be really interesting.
Do any of the ?XVs have wide ratio boxes.. I'm looking at one of 2 sxv550s & an rxv.. thinking of a recam/detune for a bit of low rpm pull for long rides & an engine refresh to begin with.. think they need more oil capacity too.. have only had a short ride on one but loved it.
Only sxv has a taller 5th gear. An xv is not a long ride bike, id look elsewhere. Theres no aftermarket cams to my knowledge and there wouldnt be much point swapping them out anyway, maybe an ecu tune. Good luck finding parts to rebuild, some are being made aftermarket but theres waiting lists and no guarantees. Nor would i go messing with the oil system unless you're going to experiment with craig bonars modifications. Like i said in my other video, the xv is a treat you take out on a saturday afternoon, not a daily driver, its not built for long rides, and i wouldnt use it hard with the current parts availability and general rarity of these bikes
