V-TWIN POWER FOR THE STREET…

For 2017, Suzuki introduces a new version of an iconic motorcycle that embodies the sporty personality that only a lively, mid-sized V-twin roadster can deliver. The new SV650S ABS* has a polished powerplant that provides increased performance with low emissions and outstanding fuel economy, mated to refined trim and lightweight chassis that delivers a sporty, exciting ride. Like its predecessors, the 2017 SV650S ABS promises to have the sparkling performance, style and value that a broad range of riders will enjoy.

SV650S Overview

The SV650S is a true sportsbike that not only has fantastic performance on the road; it has also proved itself a winner on the race track in small capacity racing. The sheer rideability of the machine gives positive proof that it has what it takes in all areas! With a smooth and broad power delivery, sporty handling and an ultra-reliable engine, the SV650S is certainly the bike to beat in its class. The sports seat height is relatively low to suit the majority of riders and aerodynamic and aggressive styling certainly makes the SV650S stamp its intent when it comes into view. This is a perfectly packaged and exciting sportsbike, designed for maximum fun on road and track.

Punchy V-twin Power:
Suzuki’s Dual Throttle Valve fuel injection system optimises intake airflow for instant throttle response at any engine speed and provides a smooth, broad spread of power whilst maintaining the exciting character of the V-Twin.

V-Twin Leader:
Ultra reliable and torquey 645cc V-Twin is held in high regard in the motorcycling world and the sporty handling makes the SV650S the bike to beat in its classes on the club racing scene.

Sporty Handling:
Innovative aluminium-truss frame, formed with high vacuum casting technology, and pre-load adjustable suspension combine with the carefully selected riding position for excellent agility.

Aggressive Styling:
Announcing its intent, the aggressive lines of the SV make for a distinctive and unique look, which is heightened further with a blue stripe down the centreline of the white colour scheme.

ABS not available on UK model

*Depending on road surface conditions, such as wet, loose, or uneven roads, braking distance for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be longer than for a vehicle not equipped with ABS. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please drive carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

2017 Suzuki SV650S www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Engine Features

Each cylinder head features a compact combustion chamber with two 31mm intake valves set at 14 degrees from the cylinder centerline and two 25.5mm exhaust valves set at 16 degrees from the cylinder centerline.

Each 39mm, extra-fine, 10-hole atomization injectors produce an average spray particle diameter that is improves combustion efficiency.

Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection system provides better efficiency and throttle response through a butterfly valve system with the primary valve controlled by the rider and the secondary throttle valve controlled by the engine management system.

An automatic Idle Speed Control (ISC) system is integrated into each throttle body, and produces stable idle while improving cold starting and reducing emissions immediately after start up.

Dual spark plugs cylinder heads feature iridium spark plugs to reduce spark plug electrode degradation and allow the electrode to be finer producing a more intense, hotter spark and further enhancing combustion.

Single valve springs reduce inertia weight and mechanical losses while maintaining accurate valve control.

The SFV650 is powered by a 645cc sporty fuel injected, DOHC, 90 degree V-twin engine based on the proven SV650S powerplant famous for its long term reliability, broad power and quiet rumble.

An oval throttle pulley helps smooth low rpm/mid-range power delivery.

Race-proven Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Materials (SCEM) cylinder plating reduces friction and improves heat transfer, durability and ring seal.

The SFV650 arrives with a lighter and narrower radiator to increase efficiency, while an enhanced liquid to liquid oil cooler reduces weight.

Transmission Features

A strong and smooth shifting 6-speed transmission.

Clutch release mechanism is changed from ball-screw type to cam type system and the transmission gear engagement dogs are strengthened to help improve shifting of the six speed transmission.

To reduce mechanical noise, a scissor type primary gear is split length wise with the two halves spring loaded, and the clutch and countershaft sprocket covers are now double layered for additional sound reduction.

Chassis Features

Compact trellis steel frame featuring 25 degree of rake and 104 mm of trail for stable and sporty handling with a beautiful look.

Chassis and bodywork are designed to be as slim as possible where the fuel tank meets the seat, the outside forward edges of the seat are rounded and features a low 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height. All to make the new SFV650 easier for entry level riders to comfortably put both feet on the ground when stopping and for maximum rider confidence.

Dual floating front brake discs measure 290mm in diameter and work with dual piston calipers; single 240mm rear disc brake disc works with a single piston caliper.

Rear shock spring is preload adjustable over a seven step range and rear wheel travel is 130 mm.

Single rear shock is connected to the rectangular-section steel swingarm through a progressive linkage which allows the suspension to react smoothly to bumps and improve overall ride comfort.

Front forks feature 41mm stanchions with spring preload adjustability over a 15mm range and front wheel travel is 4.9 in.

Additional Features

Instrument cluster is positioned above the headlight and provides an analog tachometer, LCD digital speedometer, LCD dual trip-meters and odometer. An LCD digital clock, and LCD digital gear position indicator are also featured.Indicator lights include a two way remaining fuel warning lamp, backed up by an LCD digital reserve trip meter.
