My first brand new bike, a 2001 Suzuki SV650S.

My best run at the dragstrip so far is 11.803 at 110.7mph. Click here to view my dragstrip spreadsheet MS Works format
Excel format Click "open", then "OK" twice

This thing is capable of 2nd gear power wheelies.

My SV has finally been repaired (crank bearings). I think it may be making more power than before now.

Here's a dyno graph of my SV. I tuned it myself and as a result it was the fastest when compared to other SVs that have been run on the same dyno. This was with the stock filter and 145 mains.

A cool stoppie pic made with Adobe photo program.

The shop upgraded its dyno, so the service manager invited my to run me bike on the dyno again for free.They can now analyze the exhaust gas and show the fuel:air ratio throughout the rev range.
IMAGE
This graph shows power and air:fuel ratio. The jetting is spot-on. Stoichiometric combustion(complete combustion) occurs at a 14.7:1 ratio, max power at 12-13:1 (slightly rich), and max thermal efficiency at 16-18:1 (lean).

Since installing a Micron full system I don't even need to do the throttle chop, from cruising along in 1st (1-20mph)I just nail it and it comes up.Click on the picture to read the wheelie how-to.

I'm now doing standup wheelies in 2nd gear. This one I rode for nearly 1/4 mile before dropping it in order to make a turn.

Here you can see my tailend modifications.

Taken at my SV's first track day. Next time I'm taping the entire front fairing because I got a lot of chips in the paint from rocks being flung up by sticky tires...........before I passed them of course. :-D
IMAGE
In this pic you can see one of the standard Intuitive Racing frame sliders. I spray painted the sliders with Rustoleum "Aluminum silver." The paint sticks to the sliders just fine the way the are.

This is how I mounted the reservoir for my Penske with the short line.

A picture of the Mototech centerstand. There is no interference between it and the Micron pipework. It doesn't take much to scrape the right side centerstand bracket. I almost crashed when the front tire slid a little when it was levered up by the bracket scraping
