V-Twin Fun Machine
What started in 1999 as a real-world motorcycle built to deliver “V-Twin Fun For All”, the Suzuki SV650 quickly became a rider’s phenomenon around the world.
Not only was the motorcycle well-suited for urban roads but it was right at home on the racetrack too. The newest generation SV650 raises the fun factor even higher thanks to Suzuki’s latest innovations.
Well-beyond simply being classified as just a novice’s motorcycle, the SV650 is a rider’s go anywhere dream machine.

“Ideal bike for newer riders”
“SV650 remains the motorcycle of choice for many UK motorcycle training centres”
Technology
Uniquely optimised cylinders, pistons and rings
The class-exclusive* 645cm³ DOHC V-twin engine produces strong, torque-rich horsepower while complying with the latest emission standards.
The primary balance of the engine’s 90-degree L-twin configuration minimizes vibration so well, the engine doesn’t require a heavy, power-robbing balance shaft.
The energy-efficient engine has unique pistons that were engineered with the use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis to achieve optimal rigidity and weight.
Each piston skirt has a special resin coating, and the other sliding parts are tinned for less friction and greater durability – a first for a Suzuki motorcycle.
Suzuki’s innovative L-shaped piston rings contribute to reduced blow-by gas, resulting in fewer emissions and greater combustion efficiency.
Transmission and clutch
The close-ratio, 6-speed transmission features carefully selected ratios that are equally well-suited for commuting or spirited riding.
The multiplate clutch has precise push rod actuation of the pressure plate for a light pull and consistent release point.
-
Dual throttle fuel injection system
The fuel-injection system employs Suzuki’s innovative SDTV (Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve) on 39mm throttle bodies. The secondary throttle valves are controlled by a servo motor for smooth power delivery.
Long-nosed 10-hole fuel injectors on each throttle body improve fuel atomization for better combustion efficiency while reducing fuel consumption.
-
SCEM-coated cylinders
Low-friction resin-coated pistons and SCEM-coated cylinders help deliver high mileage for class-leading touring range.
-
Dual Spark plug technology
The engine uses Suzuki’s Dual Spark Technology heads with two high-energy, slim electrode spark plugs per cylinder, which aid in combustion efficiency and power production.
The advanced electronic fuel system includes Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature that seamlessly adjusts engine speed when pulling away from a standing start or running at low speeds to smooth the power delivery and help reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.
Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control (TI-ISC)
Suzuki’s patented Throttle-body Integrated Idle Speed Control (TI-ISC) eases starting, stabilizes the engine idle speed, and helps lower emissions. The system is compact and lightweight.
TI-ISC helps Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature seamlessly adjust engine speed during standing starts and low-speed running to smooth the power delivery and to help reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.
Engine Control Module (ECM)
The Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has enhanced settings to suit the intake and exhaust systems, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response.
Advanced, transistorized ignition control programming helps maintain more precise spark timing to the four iridium, long-life spark plugs.
Easy Start System
The SV650 also features Suzuki’s Easy Start System that lets the rider start the motorcycle with a momentary press of the start switch without pulling in the clutch lever when the transmission is in neutral.
The compact, lightweight chassis is covered with slim bodywork to create a bike that’s agile and fun to ride on a variety of streets –such as city traffic, highway, rural roads, and winding roads.
Slim line fuel tanks
The SV650’s fuel tank is short and narrow but still offers a 14.5L fuel capacity.
The slim fuel tank and seat joint aid the rider in touching the ground more easily at stops.
Mated-steel frame
The frame is mated to a steel, beam-type swingarm with a straightforward chain tension adjuster system.
Adjustable shocks
The 41mm conventional-style front forks offer a generous 125mm of wheel travel to provide a sporty but plush ride.
The link-type rear shock unit has a 63mm stroke and is tuned for a superb progressive feel and to react efficiently to varied road conditions while still delivering an agile and stable ride.
The rear shock’s seven-way adjustable spring pre-load is easy to adjust for carrying a passenger or cargo.
ABS brakes
The front brakes feature a pair of fully floating 290mm discs that are grasped by 4-piston Tokico calipers for excellent braking performance. The compact Antilock Braking System (ABS)** ensures braking power matches available traction.
Aluminium wheels
5-spoke, cast aluminum alloy wheels are shod with lightweight, front and rear Dunlop radial tires for sharp handling and good mileage.
The Dunlop SPORTMAX ROADSMART III tires fitted to the SV650 have great grip and all-around good tire performance.
The compact and lightweight instrument panel is a full LCD display, eliminating motor and needle mechanics.
User-friendly instrument panel
The instrument panel has several features, including a tachometer, speedometer, odometer, dual trip meter, reserve trip meter, clock, coolant temperature/oil pressure indicator, ABS alert, and gear position indicator, plus fuel consumption and driving range data.
Sporty-relaxing handlebars
Well-proportioned, tubular handlebars and mid-set foot controls create a sporting, yet ergonomically relaxed riding position. Attention to rider comfort and confidence includes a carefully shaped seat with a high-grip cover and integrated cargo retention
Halogen and LED light
The tastefully designed, round-shaped headlight is a multi-reflector type with a bright 12V 60/55-watt halogen bulb.
Lighting also includes a bright, durable LED combination tail and brake light, plus front and rear amber-tinted turn signals.
