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.

Everyone I know that has one also use them for track bikes and beat them to death. They crash well and just don't die...:lol:

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

Other than the common stuff (brake lines, rubber bits, etc) I would just ask about modifications and personally make sure said mods were done correctly.
You can kick the ever luvin' crap out of that motor and it will keep coming back for more.

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.

You are correct. A chain is also crucial in transferring the engine power to those wheels.

You lie. I know for a fact that you don't have a chain. In fact, neither do I.
Cool people don't use chains.
