Love my SV-650S

Thom, welcome to the SV world. I own a 2003 SV-650S and truly love the bike. As you know by now, the bike is very nimble, and the power available around town is amazing, plus it is fun on the road. The owner's manual says your SV will run regular, but mine seems to do better on premium. I don't mind since it gets between 50 and 53 MPG. Mine has been stock, but I am in the process of putting in a K & N air filter, Power Commander, and a Yoshimura titanium exhaust which should improve an already outstanding bike. I've been running the Suzuki oil which is semi-synthetic because of the difficulty I've had finding the right weight Mobil 1 here in Hawaii. As for the owners manual, if you purchased the bike new, the dealer is required to provide you with an owners manual. My dealer took the time to go through it with me to make sure I understood my particular bike, even though I used to own a Suzuki GS650G. I found digital copies of the service manuals here http://www.sv650.org/sv_manuals.htm, which will be helpful as you try to care for your bike. Be careful, but have fun!
