Suggestion Needed

#1 Unread post by Evyllchyld »

I bought a 2006 Suzuki SV650s for my first bike during the winter, I have never rode anything prior to this. Anyways, I need suggestions for a new exhaust for this bike. Price is somewhat of an issue. I'm looking to spend only around $250. I'm open to all suggestions, Thanks

New exhaust, but not brake/clutch lever, pegs, and bar ends?

Why?

One thing at a time I guess??? I don't like my current exhaust and would like to change it first thing??? And I'm also new to riding and there parts... It just seems like the most noticeable thing that every biker has changed is a new exhaust... So I guess I'd jump on the wagon also. :laughing:

I'll help.

The reason most people buy new/aftermarket exhausts for their bikes is that they dented up the old ones dropping the bike. If you haven't dropped your bike there is no need for you to jump on that bandwagon.

You'll be better off buying gasoline or tires.

I'm sure there are many people who buy aftermarket exhausts for there bike before they lay it down or dent it. I just don't like the plain look of it, and the quietness of the bike. lol

Ok, let's try another direction. How about this.

Learn to ride the bike to its limits before you start trying to modify it. At this point you will be losing some ride-ability if the mods are not done properly.

If you must do mods, the first thing to work on on a SV650 is suspension.

Good bike by the way. If you get bored with it you could donate it to me. :D
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.
