2025 Suzuki SV650X ABS Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

– The stylish headlight cowling creates a café fairing look, while slots reminiscent of heritage racers flank the round multi-reflector headlight to accentuate the SV650X’s personality.

– Visually stunning, the colored trellis-style frame is fashioned using high-strength steel tubes so it contributes to the SV650X’s low weight and trim chassis.

– Clip-on handlebars encourage a sporty riding position and harken back to the days of the original café racers.

– The slim, tuck-and-roll-look seat exudes retro looks and features soft cushioning that helps reduce rider fatigue. Its brown, leather-like finish adds a custom-build touch.

– Side panels below the fuel tank mimic a half-fairing look and connect the body styling from nose to tail.

– The muffler’s position allows ample lean angles when cornering.

– Dual four-piston Tokico brake calipers up front grasp a pair of 290mm full-floating stainless steel rotors for great stopping performance. The compact Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)** matches the braking performance to the available traction.

– The 645cm³ liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, 90-degree, V-twin engine boasts primary balance characteristics that minimize vibration, so it smoothly pulls from idle up to the 10,000 rpm redline.

– Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist leverages the advanced electronic fuel injection system to seamlessly adjust engine speed during standing starts and low-speed running to smooth power delivery and help eliminate the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.

** ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. ABS cannot prevent wheel skidding caused by braking while cornering. Please ride carefully and do not overly rely on ABS.

 

 

2025 Suzuki SV650X ABS Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

ENGINE

Dual Spark 90° V-Twin
The V-Twin engine is a marvel of engineering with superb versatility. While at lower RPM, this engine delivers powerful torque that’s easy to handle and a deep robust sound. Open the throttle to mid-range, and the power of the engine’s response is linear and smooth, yet always under your control. Then at higher RPM, the V-Twin has performance ready to go.

V-Twin Power for the Street
The SV650’s 645cc, DOHC, 90⁰ V-Twin engine is calibrated with irregular firing intervals to create a unique heartbeat-like sound and linear power delivery. The engine has a broad range that’s extremely rider friendly. Combine this power plant with the SV650’s slim design and lightweight body, and you have a riding experience that will bring reward and enjoyment every time you turn the key.

Dual Spark Technology
Suzuki’s Dual Spark Technology utilises two spark plugs per cylinder for precision ignition. What’s more, by employing high-performance nickel-alloy spark plugs instead of iridium plugs, Suzuki has managed to minimise replacement costs for owners without sacrificing performance. The result is increased combustion efficiency, smoother power delivery, lower fuel consumption and lower emissions.

Exhaust System
The SV650’s advanced exhaust system has been designed to be light and compact, while still conforming to strict new emission standards. What’s more, the design also contributes to the SV650’s excellent power delivery and produces a great exhaust sound too.

 

CHASSIS & COMPONENTS

SLIM BODY

The SV650’s streamlined profile is the result of ergonomically shaped side panels and optimised seat design, which let you straddle the motorcycle with your feet on the ground if stopped or for easy changes of position while flowing through corners. The narrow, streamlined seat is 785mm in height and is designed almost flat from front to rear, yet gives riders a high degree of grip in the upright position. Despite its ample 14.5 litre capacity, the fuel tank is slim and sports an ergonomic form for maximum rider comfort.

 

SUSPENSION

The front suspension system employs durable 41mm telescopic right way upfront forks with 125mm travel. While the rear features link-type suspension with a stroke of 63mm and is pre-load adjustable to one of 7 pre-defined settings. Together, the SV650’s suspension system ensures consistent ride-ability and sporty handling performance.

 

WHEELS AND TYRES

The five-spoke cast aluminium wheels create a sporty look. For an excellent balance of cornering performance and straight line speed stability, the SV650 uses the Dunlop radial sport 120/70ZR17M/C for the front and 160/60ZR17M/C for the rear.

 

BRAKES AND ABS

The SV650’S stopping performance comes courtesy of large 290mm dual front disc brakes and a 240mm rear brake disc provide incredible performance and control.

 

LIGHTWEIGHT CHASSIS

With a remarkable ready to ride weight of only 200kg, the SV650 makes manoeuvring and handling easy and pleasurable. The SV650 makes good use of its light weight with responsive acceleration, nimble handling and absolute confidence in manoeuvring. Riders of all levels can take to the city or winding roads and experience unrestricted fun.

 

ELECTRONICS

STRIKING REAR LED LIGHTS

An integrated twin-LED tail light and brake light configuration is compact and slim. High performance LEDs deliver excellent visibility and high durability, and makes for sharp and sleek rear section.

 

SPORTY SV STYLE

The overall shape expresses its slim, lightweight design and is intended to enhance the strength of V-Twin engine. Clean, neatly shaped body lines have been styled to appeal to a wide variety of riders. A combination of black plastics and painted parts emphasise its slim, sporty and lightweight looks.

 

CLASSIC STYLE HEADLIGHT

The round multi-reflector headlight is designed to distribute the maximum amount of light to ensure the SV650 is always seen. In classic SV650 style, the distinctive round shape is used not only for its original aesthetic but also allows for easy customisation.

 

Low RPM Assist
The SV650 comes with Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist function that utilises the Idle Speed Control (ISC) to help boost engine rpm in launching operation or running at low speed. This new feature helps suppress engine stalls when running at slow speeds, resulting in better start control and operation especially in stop-and-go traffic.

Suzuki Easy Start System
The Suzuki Easy Start System engages the starter motor at a precisely timed pre-set interval to start the motorcycle with just a push of a button. A computerised 32-bit ECM checks the status and disengages the starter motor immediately after start.

Full LCD Instruments
A multifunction LCD instrument panel displays; gear position, digital speedometer, tachometer, as well as indicators for odometer, tripmeter, clock, water temperature gauge and fuel gauge. The backlight is adjustable in six levels of brightness and can be set to your preference.
