We bought this Suzuki SV 650 S in a bit of a messy state.
The farings where looking good but needed some decent cleaning.
The biggest challenge was getting the technical parts in a good state.
The bike wasn't starting very well and it was safe to assume that this spark plug was involved.
If the plug looks like it was in a fryer for a few years and looks this cripsy, we can be sure that it wasn't sparking as it should
The carburettor was looking rather clean, except for 1 stationary jet that was clogged.
Cleaned it out, assembled the carburettor and mounted it again.
And suddenly our little SV was purring as a kitten. Or should I say roaring like a lyon with the sports exhaust.
But giving new life to a bike
Cleaning the seat gave a major improvement to the look of the bike.
Is more than just getting it working
