Karl Meema says:I just wanted to thank you for the excellent description complete with pictures on improving the performance on an SV650. I am no mechanical genius yet I was able to follow the instructions. I gained at least 4 hp by the surgery on our dyno. I race up in Calgary, our club, CMRA, uses a Dynojet dyno ... with a full pipe I dyno'd at 72hp, by performing the snorkelectomy (and jetting) it rose to 76 hp. The SV has about 2,000 miles on it and only 3 race/track days. |

Kenneth Murray says: Thank you for putting together the web pages on tuning the SV650; I found them very helpful. My SV650 was practically unrideable, with poor throttle response and horrible surging. I was told to "just shim the needles"; but I had now clue how to do it before I read your web page |

Ben Cohen says: I just finished rejetting/shimming/de-snorkeling my SV and your page was a BIG help. ... Anyhow, just wanted to thank you for all the time you spent on the pictures and write up. I'm not sure I would have attempted this on my own without it. |

Duane Massa says: John, Great page. Very helpful. I would have probably never considered tinkering with my SV without your helpful pages. |

Stan says: Thanks for such great information. The work that you have done in documenting the SV mod.s is incredible. I feel that I now have the information that I need to proceed with my own SV carb mods. It is really an amazing site for anyone who wants to modify their SV. |

Andy Foster says: thanks for the help with your how-to stuff-it was actually a big reason why I chose an SV. A friend mentioned the owners websites before I bought. (I am still waiting for that kick back from Suzuki -oh well) |

Mark MacHale says: Hey John, I just wanted to say thanks for the great job on detailing the carb work on the SV. I am now confident that I can accomplish both the shimming and and the mixture set up. I am adding a Two Brothers can next week, and I am looking forward to the power gains and better sound. Thanks again. |

Tim Morgan says: Big Thanks for the help youve offered on your webpage. I put a Hindle full race exhaust on my 00' SV. I performed a Snorkelektomy, used 145's, and 17.5's, used 2 shims, adjusted the air-fuel mixture, and Im ready to go. - I took my first ride today. WOW!!! Its the same bike, but that really woke it up. Especially in the midrange. I havent found any flat spots or seen any problems, other than the fact that I can wheelie through fourth. (If that is a problem). - I wanted to thank you for walking me through this. You made this project too simple. Keep up the good work. Thanks for everything!!
Carl Holmes says: John, you're a genius. Your SV650 carb instructions enabled me to transform my safe-and-sane, button-down SV650S commuter into a rip-snorting hooligan. With "snorkelectomy", rejetting and Two Brothers slip-on, college girls flip their hair for me, and men from ten to seventy amble over to tell me how great my motorcycle sounds. And between its wonderful sound, flawless low-speed carburetion, melodious exhaust note, newly arm-straightening midrange and inspiring sound, it's as fulfilling a motorcycle as I've ever owned. Thanks again for your service to the gleeful motorcycling public.
Scott Grace says: hi, my name is scott and i brought a brand new sv650s, and i love it. well, thanks for telling people how great your bike sounds and looks. i just called cycle center of denton, and ordered my s4 exhaust i cant wait unitl it comes in. they said it will be a few weeks, because there getting hard to have in stock, because people are buying them left and right. thanks again. |
