Calling SV experts
So it looks like I am going to pick up a 2000 SV 650 this weekend. Anything in particular I should be looking for (other than the normal stuff)?
Common problems? Doubtful I will ever ride it on the street, as I am buying it as a track bike.

Wheels. You want the bike to have wheels, and an engine, that would help too

if you need any spares let me know...i have a few left in my garage. rear wheel, complete front end (has a leaky fork seal), full harness and ecu. these are all from an 02, so the forks are adjustable. shouldn't have a problem using any of them. and if there is anything else let me know and i can check to see what i have.
good luck

The only problem with your plan is that you didn't buy mine

Looks like I will be passing on this one. There is something knocking either in the trans or bottom end of the engine, and the 2-3 gear change is not quite right.

Check, and check. I will check for a seat and bars also.
