Drive gear (clutch gear) for oil pump, cams etc. Broke spider washer (retainer clip) and came loose striking back of clutch basket which kept it from coming completely off which would have caused engine destruction. Gear should have had more torque applied at factory to nut and red lock-tite applied to threads. Should have been recall. Remaining 1/3 of broken spider washer could not be found in oil sump. Remaining lo piece could enter transmission with possible lock up. Problem was noticed by noise while riding 02/19/16. Repaired by msp cycles, decatur, ga at a cost to me of $343.22. Since I can't afford another motorcycle I'll continue to ride this sv with a question as to whether the missing piece will cause problems. Thanks

I was riding my motorcycle at a cruising speed of 45 mph. My motorcycle suddenly shut off in the middle of traffic. I thought it was fuel related so I pushed my bike 1/4 mile to the nearest gas station and filled up. The bike did not start, so I thought it was battery related. I had to get my…
I was riding my motorcycle at a cruising speed of 45 mph. My motorcycle suddenly shut off in the middle of traffic. I thought it was fuel related so I pushed my bike 1/4 mile to the nearest gas station and filled up. The bike did not start, so I thought it was battery related. I had to get my pickup, then trailer the bike home. I then found out that the battery was fine and that the problem was stator related(resistance check)! I then had to take the crankcase cover off and to my surprise I found that all six magnets on the flywheel had come off and shattered throughout the crankcase. I am very disappointed in suzuki that they would let these continuing claims go unnoticed when lives could be at risk! I could have been seriously injured if those shards would have affected the engine, causing it to seize, not to mention that my bike did die in the middle of traffic, which also could have caused an accident threatening lives! This IS plainly a mishap on their part and needs to be recalled before more serious incidents began to pop up with bikes that get higher in mileage! If suzuki can not make a strong enough epoxy to hold those magnets in place, then they need to fire whoever made that stupid design and recall all these bikes to fix it properly! my flywheel was absolutely smooth, almost like it was supposed to be smooth without magnets from the factory! This IS unacceptable to know that whatever was holding those magnets on could degrade so easily over time! I am very, very disgusted with suzuki and this horrible engineering of this flywheel and the neglected customers that they refuse to treat with respect and loyalty for buying their products, that are supposed to be road safe for the life of the motorcycle! *tr

The motorcycle had symptoms of a bad battery. The battery was replaced and died while 2 hours from the house. I began checking the charging system and notice 0VDC generator output. I inspected the part and found that several magnets were cracked, one sliding over another and being filed down by the stator. This has also left massive amounts of debris in the oil possibly causing rod and main bearing wear, timing chain wear, camshaft wear, and oil pump damage. The bike IS not ridden hard, rarely seeing over 6,500-7,000 rpm. *tr

The ignition rotor has a series of magnets glued to it but that glue failed causing the magnets to come loose and break apart in the engine cause fragments to go all over inside the engine. What I have read on the suzuki forums this IS a common occurrence. *tr
