    Servicing my 2006 SV650S this weekend

    So Basically I have:
    Oil
    K&N Oil Filter
    K&N Air Filter
    NGK Iridium Tip Spark Plugs (X2)

    Do I need anything else for an Engine Service?

    I Have all the tools I think I'll need.

    Is there anything I should be aware of prior to me starting the service on my bike?

    I've serviced cars many times before, but have never serviced a Bike.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers
    G.

    Warm the engine up before servicing it (obviously not too much or you'll burn yourself :P)

    Hiya, Im not even gona pretend i know what im talking about but the other half has an sv650 and told me to give you this link...

    http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp

    and to say...

    paddock stand helps.

    lower fairing will have to come off.

    rad doesnt have to come off but might have to for front cylinder
    oh, and it's the 2003 service manual
    check tyre pressure.

    oil chain too.

    Hope that helps :)

    loosen the sump nut up a bit before before heating the engine up... the bolt can warp with the force when hot and youll end up having to drill it. Also, make sure you have a good spanner to loosen it... i did it before with a cheap one and it was fairly rounded by the time i got it off.
    Other than that you should be fine... theyre a fairly easy bike to work on!

    Belive it or not, I searched every where for them, cheapest place I could find was ebay/thevisorshop.com

    Dont know why the particular ones the CBR uses are so expensive
