Highlights of the SV650 LAMS (MY26)

What started in 1999 as a real-world motorcycle built to deliver “V-Twin Fun For All”, the Suzuki SV650 quickly became a rider’s phenomenon around the world.

Not only was the motorcycle well-suited for urban roads but it was right at home on the racetrack too. The newest generation SV650 raises the fun factor even higher thanks to Suzuki’s latest innovations.

Well-beyond simply being classified as just a novice’s motorcycle, the SV650 is a rider’s go anywhere dream machine.

• Performance:  35kW/8,500rpm
• Torque: 56nM/4,000RPM
• Weight:  198kg
• Fuel tank: 14.5l
• Seat height:  785mm

Engine - Uniquely Optimised Cylinders, Pistons, and Rings

The class-exclusive 645cm³ DOHC V-twin engine produces strong, torque-rich horsepower while complying with the latest emission standards. The primary balance of the engine’s 90-degree L-twin configuration minimizes vibration so well, the engine doesn’t require a heavy, power-robbing balance shaft.

The energy-efficient engine has unique pistons that were engineered with the use of Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis to achieve optimal rigidity and weight. Each piston skirt has a special resin coating, and the other sliding parts are tinned for less friction and greater durability – a first for a Suzuki motorcycle. Suzuki’s innovative L-shaped piston rings contribute to reduced blow-by gas, resulting in fewer emissions and greater combustion efficiency. Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM)–coated cylinders reduce friction and improve heat transfer and durability. Both cylinder heads feature Suzuki’s original Dual Spark Technology for greater combustion efficiency, better fuel economy, and cleaner emission.

Electrical

The advanced electronic fuel system includes Suzuki’s Low RPM Assist feature that seamlessly adjusts engine speed when pulling away from a standing start or running at low speeds to smooth the power delivery and help reduce the possibility of the rider stalling the motorcycle.

Chassis

The compact, lightweight chassis is covered with slim bodywork to create a bike that’s agile and fun to ride on a variety of streets –such as city traffic, highway, rural roads, and winding roads.

LAMS APPROVED

Please consult your local authority before purchasing a motorcycle for learner use. Each state and territory has its own regulations relating to the range of motorcycle models approved under the Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme.
