well the sv's motor started knockin tonight like a sob. I shut down the engine before any real damage was done. I suspect this is from countless wheelie missions. As I got closer and closer to the balance point it got worse and worse. the oil light came on and I suspect it lost pressure.I'm sure it spun a bearing. the oil is all pretty and sparkly. I still have the 5 yr. unlimited warranty. Has any one else gone thru this. What does the dealer say. I'm going to go in there acting like an idiot. Or if i do the work myself this might be the time for the 700cc big bore kit and yoshimura cmop cams hehehehe. the bikes only got 8900 miles on it. Any advice guys.

F*ck it you paid for the warranty so you should get it..it is unlimited. What's the worst they are gonna say no? if that's what happens go for the big bore.

i don't know..if i brought my bike back for warranty i know it would be taken care of but that is cuz i know the owner

my 02 sv650s did the same thing its a spun rod barring if the dealer will fix it sell it asap! i didnt have any kind of warenty and didnt feel like dicking with it so i sold mine for $2700 bucks not to bad for a blown motor and scrathes (and dents)

I blow a motor before and had a limited warranty and im sure they will cover yours if you play dumb enough haha.

make sure your airbox is clean. ALOT of bikes put oil into the airbox from doin long wheelies. so make sure its clean, otherwise you're busted.
