I'm looking into installing the 700cc <a href="http://www.wiseco.com/">Wiseco</a> piston kit into my SV650s. I remember someone saying at the Auckland forum members bike meet that they had a friend that installed this kit on his SV650. I would like to know where he got this done so I can get a quote on the installation cost.

The British "Performance Bikes" magazine which is currently available in the NZ bookshops has got a test on a big bore SV650. Sory I haven't got more detail as my copy is circulating somewhere at work!!:angry:

Just finished reading an article in the Performance Mag about a guy that converted his SV650 to a SV750 ... nice. In Willies tray at work if you wanna check it out. Gives an extra 20 bhp.

Good advice here,trying to sell or insure an over-bored machine can be a nightmare and it`s doubtful you`d get away with just bunging on the big-bore kit and it running perfectly straight off.If you dont tell your insurance company then basically you`re not insured,if you do they`ll think it`s Christmas come early as they crank up the premium,probably best only attempted for the track.
Surely if it was that good an idea Suzuki would be selling an SV750
