Title: SV Motor Removal Question
Post by: tlc on September 13, 2007, 09:32:13 AM
Let me first start out with I'm new to the track bike/race bike scene so I don't know a lot right now, but I'm trying to learn as I go.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.  I purchase a bike off eBay (yeah mistake 1) that has what is probably a bad rod bearing and that motor needs to come out because I've found a new motor that I need to get in the bike.

My question is about removing the motor.  I've heard there is a special set of tools to remove a SV motor (02').  The guys who are going to be helping me (read this as doing it for me) have loaned those tools out and they didn't get them returned.  I want to get that set of tools for them to use while they are helping me out. 

What are those tools and where can I order them?

Teri:  All you need is a set of metric sockets or wrenches and possibly a pry bar (use carefully) - no special tools required at all.

You will need a castle nut socket. The main and lower rear engine bolts go through pinch bolts that when torqued force the engine against the right side of the frame. These pinch bolts and the their lock rings require this special tool.

Suzuki will be happy to sell you one and I think Motion Pro also has them.

ehhhh..... The castle nut tools are a little redundant. I use a hammer and punch carefully and some light locktight sins ce you cant really set the torque with the ole' hammer. Just be careful, if your using a steel punch it can shred the outer nut if you dont pay attention.


Ohh and hey Ed, just got  done with the superbike motor  :thumb: Its sweet though the neighbors are a little annoyed with my "hey im just breaking in my race motor".  :biggrin:

And if you were selling them .
Let me guess what your time is worth and shipping and the cost of the sockets.
Hummmm!

When I started looking for these sockets I couldn't find them anywhere partly because I was unfamiliar with what to look for, partly because I don't have connections locally, partly because I'm just new to the whole process of what I needed them for, and yeah, I'm just not a good mechanic. 

Resurrection stepped up and offered to make me a set and ship them out quickly.  He did just that.  He made the socket and got them to me in 2 day.  Faster than any supplier that I've ever used before.  Well worth it to me.

I just put that out there no harm intended. I know you have to charge for you're time and material, Got it. No harm no foul (hopefully). Now what about those captive spacers ? I'll need one front and two rears after Christmas for the SV. ( the wife has different priority's than me LOL).

Thanks, Darrell

Thanks for the kind words
Sorry about spacers I got little or no response about them and got caught up in a late season bike service rush .
I will have more time when the weather goes south with the bike service.

Finally got to use the sockets this weekend that resurrection made for me.  Ok, I didn't use them but the guys (Rich Desmond and Randy Smith) working on my bike used them.  They said they looked very professionally done in great shape and that whoever made them knew what they were doing.  They were impressed for sure.  Sure was nice to have them since the ones from Suzuki are on constant backorder right now, according to Rich.
