2026 Suzuki SV650 ABS Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Engine Features
Class exclusive*, 645cc, DOHC, V-twin engine produces strong, torque-rich horsepower while conforming to the latest emission requirements. The engine’s 90-degree L-twin configuration has perfect primary balance, so a heavy, power-robbing counter balancer is not needed.
Suzuki’s innovative L-shaped piston rings contribute to reduced blow-by gas, resulting in fewer emissions and greater combustion efficiency.
Both cylinder heads feature Suzuki’s original Dual Spark Technology for greater combustion efficiency, better fuel economy, and cleaner emissions.
The ten-hole, long-nose-type fuel-injections employ Suzuki’s innovative Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve system (SDTV). The secondary throttle valves are controlled by a servo motor for smooth power delivery and optimum combustion efficiency.
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.
The exhaust system has a clean, functional appearance and lower weight. The 2-into-1 system has a catalyzer to further reduce emissions.
Transmission Features
The close-ratio, six-speed transmission features carefully selected ratios that are equally well suited for commuting or spirited riding.
The multi-plate clutch has precise push rod actuation of the pressure plate for a light pull and consistent release point.
Chassis Features
The compact, lightweight chassis is covered with slim bodywork to create a bike that is agile and fun to ride on a variety of streets – such as city traffic, highway, rural roads, and winding roads.
The ready-to-ride weight of the SV650 ABS is a low 437 pounds.
The 41mm conventional-style front fork has a generous 125 mm (4.9 inches) of wheel travel to provide a sporty but plush ride. The pre-load adjustable, link-type rear shock unit has a 63mm (2.48-inch) stroke and is tuned for a superb progressive feel and to react efficiently to varied road conditions while still delivering an agile and stable feel.
The front brakes feature a pair of fully floating 290mm discs that are grasped by four-piston Tokico calipers. The compact Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)** ensures hydraulic brake pressure matches available traction.
Electrical Features
The compact and lightweight instrument panel is a full LCD display, eliminating motor and needle mechanics.
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, plus fuel consumption and driving range data.
The tastefully designed, round-shaped headlight is a multi-reflector type with a 12V 60/55-watt halogen bulb.
A bright, durable LED combination tail and brake light, plus front and rear amber-tinted turn signals, illuminate the riding route.
Body & Styling Features
Five-spoke, cast aluminum alloy wheels are shod with lightweight, front, and rear Dunlop Road Smart III tires for sharp handling and good mileage.
Attention to rider comfort and confidence includes a carefully shaped seat with a high-grip cover and integrated cargo retention loops that can pull out from under the seat.
The styling was conceived to express slim, lightweight design and to highlight the strength of the V-twin engine. The clean, neatly shaped body lines are aimed to be appealing to a wide range of riders.
The 3.8-gallon (14.5liter) slim fuel tank and seat joint aid the rider in touching the ground better at stops and the stylized Suzuki “S” 3D emblems on the fuel tank and the fork upper bracket denote the quality, sophistication, and performance legacy of the brand.
