Questions of Interest

I’ve received several questions regarding the 2003 Suzuki SV650S over the past couple of days and am going to post them here so others will have access to the same information.

Q1) Is the silver an original Suzuki SV color?

A1) Yes, the bike is the original factory color.

Q2) Has the bike had the SV fuel tank recall completed?

A2) Yes, the recall was completed last year when the fuel tank was replaced by the local dealer.

Q3) What is the status of the title?

A3) The title is clear, i.e., in my name and with no lien.

Q4) Is it currently registered? If yes, until when?

A4) The registration is current through 10/22 of this year.

Q5) Does it need any immediate maintenance or repair?

A5) All maintenance is current and there are no repairs outstanding.

Q6) Which items are not or may not "be legal"

A6) I believe everything is legal, there are settings on the turn signal relay that may not be but it has a "normal" setting.

Q7) Are you available to show it in the evenings during the week or anytime on the weekends?

A7) I am happy to arrange a time to show the Suzuki SV650S that is convenient for both parties, please contact me to schedule an appointment.

Q8) What forms of payment will you accept?

A8) I will accept cash or cashiers checks from a bank, I will not accept personal checks or PayPal.

Q9) Why are you selling the 2003 Suzuki SV650S?

A9) I am contemplating a Harley Davidson Nightster. I know it is a bit cliche (okay a lot cliche) but I've reached the point in my riding where comfortable cruising is more important than a great handling bike.

Q10) I'm on the short side 5' 6" or less, will the Suzuki SV be comfortable for me?

A10) Yes, I'm 5' 6" and I am able to place both feet flat with the lowered seat. The bike also has adjustable links that are currently in the stock position but can be used to drop the SV another 2 inches. I have the stock seat for taller riders.

Q11) How many miles are on this bike?

A11) About 3,085 (may go up if I get a ride or two in before selling).

I will update this list with additional questions as they are received. Thank you all for your interest.

Right View of the SV650S

I took these photos this morning as I was preparing to go for a ride out East on the 76; unfortunately, the ride was cancelled due to thunder and lightening and the threat of rain in the mountains. Here you can see the very nice LeoVince exhaust, but to really appreciate this piece you have to hear it - it's not too loud but it is very distinct on the 2003 Suzuki SV650S. You can also see (or more correctly not see) the Suzuki rear fender eliminator kit which cleans up the look for the tail of the bike.

Front View of the SV650S

In this view you can see the ConvertiBARS adjusted for the more upright, comfortable, all-day riding position. This upgrade to the 2003 Suzuki SV650S really improved the rideability and having the easily adjustable ConvertiBARS system means you can ride to the track, change the position of the bars and go race. You can also see the Zero Gravity double bubble windscreen and the clear lens LED turn signals.

Left Side View of the SV650S

In this view you can see the Suzuki seat tail cover and chin spoiler. You may also be able to see the adjustable Pazzo clutch and brake levers, very nice for adjusting the 2003 Suzuki SV650S settings for any size rider. The Pazzo levers are machined of 6061-T6 billet aluminum and are black with gold adjusters.

About this 2003 Suzuki SV650S

I've posted a few pictures below so you can get a sense of the look and condition of this 2003 Suzuki SV650S. As the pictures show the bike has had a number of upgrades that add to appearance and riding. One of the most notable upgrades is the ConvertiBARS adjustable clip-ons that make the SV much more versatile by positioning the bars high and back for long, comfortable rides, and low and forward for track days and attacking the corners. The ConvertiBARS upgrade includes Teflon lined, Steel Braided brake lines for amazing braking performance.
Another excellent upgrade is the LeoVince high-performance slip-on aluminum exhaust. This is a great sounding exhaust for the 2003 Suzuki SV650S that really emphasizes the 652cc v-twin engine. If you've heard a LeoVince exhaust you know there's nothing quite as sweet for the SV.
Additional upgrades include:

  • Zero Gravity Double Bubble windscreen
  • Woodcraft pedals (clutch and brake), and polished aluminum sliders
  • Suzuki chin spoiler, seat tail cover, and fender eliminator kits
  • 2005 Suzuki shift kit
  • LED turn signals and digital (adjustable) relay
  • ClockWorx gauge upgrade with blue LEDs
The bike has a lowered seat for those of us that are vertically impaired along with the standard 2003 Suzuki SV650S seat. The back seat is included as is the original OEM muffler and the required adapter if you decide you don't like the the LeoVince (that's crazy).
I will also include the Suzuki rear stand with the purchase of the bike. All of these upgrades make for a bike that is great to ride and a bike that really stands out.
