2010 Suzuki SV 650 Overview

For 2010, Suzuki offers the SV 650 as a naked bike motorcycle with 645 cc on tap. The 2010 Suzuki SV 650 is built around a V2, four-stroke engine running DOHC valve actuation, a compression ratio of 11.5:1. Internally, bore and stroke are 81 x 62.6 mm. In everyday use, the 2010 SV 650 tips the scales at 168 kg, carries a 17-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 800 mm and spans a 1,440 mm wheelbase. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2010 Suzuki SV 650 spec sheet below.

2010 Suzuki SV 650 compared with other bikes in the Naked bike category

Measured against other bikes in the Naked bike category in our database (up to 1666 models, one entry per model), the 2010 Suzuki SV 650 comes out as follows.

With 645 cc, the SV 650 has the joint 661st smallest engine displacement of 1666 bikes in the Naked bike category, 7% below the category average of 696 cc.
Seat height of 800 mm is taller than that of 706 of the other 1310 bikes in the Naked bike category.
Narrowing the field to the 527 models within five model years of it, the engine displacement of 645 cc is smaller than that of 350 of the other 526.

Versus the 2009 model

The figures we track are unchanged from the 2009 model: displacement and seat height all match.

2010 SV 650 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: No choke, no jetting, no altitude compensation to think about - fuel injection just works across a wider range of conditions than carburetion.
Strong front braking: The double disc front brake bites hard and stays consistent - a solid foundation whether it's stock or upgraded with braided lines.

Considerations

Age-related wear: No particular mechanical concern flags for the SV 650 - condition on any used example comes down to how well it's been looked after.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling on the SV 650 comes from fuel injection. Cold starts and throttle response stay consistent across altitude and temperature, the main practical edge over a carbureted equivalent.

Valve clearance checks

Valve clearances on DOHC-equipped engines like the SV 650's drift slowly with mileage rather than failing suddenly - sticking to the service interval keeps it a non-issue.

Brake disc and pad wear

Double disc up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by Telescopic, coil spring, oil damped, fully adjustable preload up front and Link-type, 7-way adjustable spring preload at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

SV 650 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2010 Suzuki SV 650 with its 645 cc naked bike should cover the same ground every time: service history, drivetrain condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Now 16 years old, this naked bike is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept SV 650 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for the SV 650's 645 cc v2, four-stroke - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. With an 11.5:1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Fuel system care

Injector systems like the SV 650's hold up well with basic care - decent fuel, an occasional cleaner additive, and draining old fuel before any layup longer than three months.

Valve clearance service

There's no reliable seat-of-the-pants way to tell if an SV 650's valve clearances are in spec - a light top-end tick is the only real warning sign, and by then some wear has already happened. Service records are the only proof.
