I want to get rid of the stock can. I'm thinking Two Brothers Carbon slipon or Full Exhaust. Now, if I Full Exhaust I have to rejet. Question is, how difficult would it be and do I need to dino it to get a proper setup. If I have to dino, I might just as well get the slipon as I don't know of a good dino place in my area....unless anyone could help me out....

Hey Rob,

You're in luck. Many of the SV650 owners who have come before you have already tested every type of jetting/pipe/intake configuration there is for that bike (especially Jack Roe, who ran 50-odd dyno runs trying all types of configs).

You should rejet the bike even if you only install a slip-on because the bike comes very lean from the factory, and a freer-flowing exhaust would only exacerbate the problem.

As a baseline, if you get a Two-bros exhaust, and perform the snorkelectomy, you will use this setup for your carbs:

152.5 mains
15 pilots
2 shims under the needle
3 turns on the fuel/air mixture screw

Results may vary depending on your altitude/exhaust... but there are a bunch of people on the SV650 list (svrider.com) that have a Two-Bros full exhaust that have found a happy setting.

As far as difficulty goes, if you have someone show you how to do it the first time it's a breeze.

Would there happen to be a link where I could look at the different configurations that Jack Roe did on the dyno runs? I think that you be very interesting to see what changes he did the the results.

Since that article was written I think there has been a change to the general concensus. Whereas Jack originally advised 17.5 pilots and 2.5 turns, some people have found better results with 15 pilots and 3 turns.

I, myself, have an Vance and Hines exhaust with the snorkelectomy. I'm running 150 mains, 17.5 pilots, 2 shims, and 2.5 turns. I tried the 15 pilots/3 turns for a few days, and though the throttle response was ever so slightly improved the motor didn't seem to have the same kind of grunt. So I've gone back to the 17.5/2.5 turns.

*Your mileage may vary*

Feel free to experiment. Feel free to email other SV riders with Two-bros exhaust:

I have a 98 GSXR 600 with a 2 bros carbon slip-on. After having it dynoed, I had to jet it, because my air/fuel ratio was so off. After the jetting ( main jet only )
It ran much much better.

Thanks for the info I appreciate it.
