Just had to pop the clutch on my GS500 last week. Here's the procedure:
Get the bike facing down an incline and sit on it like you normally would.
Make sure the key is in, the ignition is on, and your engine switch is on
Pull in the clutch and shift the bike into second gear.
Hold the clutch lever and start running the bike down the street. You'll look silly.
Once you get up a good head of steam, say over 10 mph, get your feet up and quickly let the clutch out.
Once you hear the engine firing, very quickly pull the clutch back in. This will get the load off the engine and allow it to get going.
Presto that's it. btw, just because it didn't start today doesn't mean the battery is bad. Sometimes it's just cooler temps and a week or two of not-riding that'll do it. I had to start the bike this way back in March for it's first ride of the season, and it's been running fine since.
And yes you're right about bikes. My GS500, which fairly slow as bikes go, smokes my 9-5 Aero. Your SV650 will beat almost every car on the road short of Vipers, 911 Turbos, Vette Z06, etc. Any 600 or higher inline supersport will leave every car in the dust. Fun ain't it?
