OMG, you are about to pull the spark plug, and then fast forward to the spark plug in your hand. A video of actually wrenching that sparkplug out would have been amazing. So I think maybe he will show the other one, bam, fast forward to another sparkplug in hand. :-). I do like your videos, just offering my 2 cents.
Just FYI for people checking out the comment section. There's a slight design change for the cylinder heads 2006 and earlier only have one plug per cylinder. And when you change your plugs take note that there's a tiny weep hole in the cylinder head that gets dirt and crust in it that's the drain so if you're driving in rain And moisture or water accumulates it. So before or after doing your plugs poke a little wire and make sure the weep holes are clear .... doesn't work out the spark plug cap A lot of people don't know about this and it actually led to a cylinder head redesign change that in 2007 model years and above They added two spark plugs per cylinder so 4 plugs total I don't think it added much to the emissions or horsepower But I've read it was so again in a driving rain if you got water down in the spark plug holes It works out and help the bike stay running better. Just for those of you who are working on different year sv 650s. So again from the late '90s up till 2006 only two spark plugs on your bike one in the front head one in the rear head. 2007 and up two spark plugs in the front head two spark plugs in the rear head.
Yes, thank you. Some people mentioned it but since I bought this one used, I think the previous owner did not put it back so this bike was missing the prop rod.
@@DolphX Yeah, if I have to show that minor detail, then the person watching shouldn't be doing this work. Its way above their knowledge and abilities. Those people def need to start small, like check tire pressure.
@@rsv4pilot114 Well to be fair the title of the video did say "how to change spark plugs" you'd think the person would show the process and not just talk. its crazy how the video was wayy above my knowledge but I manage to install new spark plugs my first time, maybe you shouldn't do video tutorials because seeing your other videos, its just not your suit.
The tank prop sits underneath the back seat. Once you have the backseat removed you will see it stretching over to the front seat. It’s sitting in a bendy u-joint (factory spot on 09 sv650s)
bruh what year is your sv cause on my 650 the front plug isnt right behind the radiator, atleast nit to where id have to move anything , mine is a 2007 sv 650s
@@cereal-killer4455 Sorry that not having the year of the bike on there flustered you so much. It's a 2006. But this procedure will work for pretty much all of them because they are, and have been pretty much identical since they made them. So this procedure will work on all the SV650's.
It does have two. I had some gopro video failure and it did not record that part. Unfortunately I had to just cut the other part out. But I think the basics were covered.
The video is worthless because he doesn’t actually show any work, especially changing out the front plug.
I have exactly the same bike since half a year and I'm very happy about your videos. Thank you
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the heads up and good advice
the tank prop rod should be under that rear seat good video
Thank you for watching and your comment. I will take a look and see if it's under the seat.
It is! I was wondering what that was, thanks
Love these videos mate, I'm from the UK and just got myself an SV!!!
Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy the SV.
Thank you! Really appreciate this video and your time.
Thanks so much.
Prop rod should be under the pillion seat on the right hand side, runs under the fairing.
Thank you for the comment and thanks for watching
Not sure if you found the prop rod, it is located under the pillion seat,
Yes, thank you. Some people mentioned it but since I bought this one used, I think the previous owner did not put it back so this bike was missing the prop rod.
Didnt even show taking it out or putting the spark plug in, stop cutting your damn videos

@@DolphX Yeah, I need to do tutorials on how to operate basic tools and what lefty loosy and righty tighty refers to.
I have a blue TL1000 but those SVs are sweet. My prop is under the seat but have used a bungee to the ceiling to get more room.
I love the TL. I always wanted one. My garage ceiling is 15ft high, so..... lol
The wire looping mentioned is the back of prop rod
prop rod is in the rear pillion to the right hand side.
or at least it should be :)
@@punkeyes8401 Bought this bike used. It wasn't there. Previous owner probably took it out.
Under the back seat
Pretty good channel, new sub!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that.
Thank you for instruction. All clear to make my replacement.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Did you remove the side spark plugs too? or just the ones on top of the cylinders?
I did them all
The oil is fine its your airbox blow back
Thank you

I think this bike had it missing. I checked there and no luck. But thank you for the advice.
Prop rod is under back seat cover...look for a wire loop at rightside
It wasn't there. I got this bike used so the previous owner probably took it out.
Yep, that happens often with used bikes
Appreciate this video, I’m about to change mine today, the bike doesn’t want to start like there’s no spark.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope the job goes smooth.
@Shaolin Style yes. Of course
bruh what year is your sv cause on my 650 the front plug isnt right behind the radiator, atleast nit to where id have to move anything , mine is a 2007 sv 650s
I dont have the bike anymore. It was a 2009 I think. I got it from someone. Fixed it up and sold it to get another bike
@@rsv4pilot114 i was wrong i found the other lol sorry
Least you could do is mention in the description what gen or model year this bike is man cmon

@@rsv4pilot114 Thank you for the follow up!
@@cereal-killer4455 No problem. Thanks for the comment. It helps me improve and make changes for the better
If you know anything about SV's you'd see that this is a gen 2 right away.
@@Pitcon If I knew a lot about the sv 650 why the F would I be watching videos about it?
Prop rod would be in your small storage compartment below the passenger seat .
Yeah, mine wasn't there. I guess the previous owner took it out. Thanks for the heads up though. Keep that in mind for the future.

Thank you
Are these tires the Michelin power 5?
Michelin Pilot Road 5
Thanks👍🏻
@@Danny-yh3xb anytime. Thanks for watching and commenting
I thought all black framed bikes come with twin plug heads. I.e. 4 plugs and not two?
It does have two. I had some gopro video failure and it did not record that part. Unfortunately I had to just cut the other part out. But I think the basics were covered.
I only found 3 plugs on my 07
