Coppah is for sale: 2003 SV1000S

[dontpanic]

Okay, it's time.

The bike is a super clean SV1000S. It's all stock, including the Suzuki lower fairing. With TrickyMike's help, it got new Dunlops front and rear this year. Fluids were changed last month, and TLRMan did the throttle body synch this past spring.

The bike has 10,000 miles. The only missing item is the right mid-line retaining disc for the right lower fairing. Here's the issue: the engine runs smoothly for 20 minutes, then begins to vibrate, and I don't have the skills to take the motor apart and remediate whatever the problem is.

Craigslist is $2,650; NESR price is $2,250.

Other pics can be seen in my gallery.

does the engine knock once it's warm, or just does it just vibrate and how bad?

[dontpanic]

Once warm, there's a soft but discernable knock from the area of the rear cylinder. The vibration is tolerable for short rides, is bothersome for long rides.

yeah, could be a big end rod bearing. When I had my TLR and use to frequent the TL boards, it was weird. These motors are pretty much bullet proof, but there were cases here and there of the big end bearings getting cooked.

Wow. I love my SV1kS but I love this color and the lower fairings more....

GLWS.

you should part with the lower fairings

[dontpanic]

Hmmmm, not a bad idea. For $2,250, I'll throw in a free bike!

I need to brush up on TL motor swaps or swappable parts. I have a TL lump sitting in the corner of my garage. Hmmmm...
