Einleitung
Change the spark plugs in your '99 to '02 SV650 to improve engine performance. Suzuki recommends that the plugs are inspected (and replaced if necessary) every 4,000 miles or 6 months and recommends that they are replaced every 7,500 miles or 12 months, regardless of condition
NOTE: The SV650 factory manual and several forums indicate that removing the radiator is not necessary for this repair and that the radiator can simply be rotated forward. However, we found this method difficult due to space constraints and risky because the radiator and radiator hoses could be damaged or even accidentally disconnected.
