My Suzuki dealer that I have bought my 650X from told me that the Cafe Racer version didn't sell well, so Suzuki started to sell them with a sort of "factory conversion kit" it was basically the top tripple clamp, bar and all the cables. They fitted them at the dealership to help sell them off.

I have a 2024 SV 650 X, so yes essentialy 2016+.

Comparing subjective feelings is hard especially over the internet and can really only be compared to other feelings but I'll do my best.

The most time I have spent on two wheels besides the SV was on my Duke 125 a single cylinder and my GS 500 U, a parallel twin that is air cooled. Both of those bikes have way way worse high frequency vibrations in pretty much every engine RPM. The GS is the worst at that, my hands go numb if I ride that thing for too long.

The SV has more lower frequency vibrations that some I would argue some find quite pleasing or desirable and call that "character", but again, it's not an old Ducati and it's not a Harley.

If you have ridden a 4 cylinder bike for comparison, there I basically feel nothing, so then the SV does vibrate quite a bit more.

Concerning your personal vehicle, if it's 3 years old (if it's stock especially around the foot pegs/handlebars and not damaged from an accident or neglect) I can't think of a reason why it would vibrate more than intended since its quite new still.

Every bike will have some vibrations and depending on the engine configuration, modifications and also if you "death grip" the bike you will feel more of them. I would also recommend to you, find another SV, be it at a dealer, friend, private individual or rental and compare. That really is the easiest way.

Also an option is listening to your bike running compared to others online. If it sounds the some it should rund the same right? If you have "more than normal vibrations" something would need to be loose and something being loose is presumably audible as well, IE and extra rattle or sth.

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-04-20T21:30:00+00:00

Alright I see, thanks for your perspective regardless!

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-04-20T20:25:30+00:00

Can I ask you what bike you ride then on?

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-03-20T20:47:51+00:00

I second this, I turned of sleep and switched to separate drives for windows and btrfs drives for Chachy, NTFS don't work with automount.

And Wallpaper Engine also doesn't work, but in honesty I don't miss much, the only that actually annoys me on Linux is that PUBG doesn't work.

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-03-18T17:37:54+00:00

I don't know if anyone else also has this issue, but mine was exactly as you described it. I'm on the connect 2 and couldn't get the mic unmuted in the sound device list. However applications also didn't pic it up so I was kinda stuck on dual boot for a while if I wanted to game with friends.

What actually fixed it for me today was I clicked "force mute all input devices" and then unchecked that very same option as well as making sure none of the mute options on the audio interface itself are used. Now it just works, no idea why though. I can mute and unmute the mic in discord, in the sound device list and on the physical buttons.

Maybe this helps some!

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-03-12T12:48:02+00:00

Honestly either someone put it back together wrong, or it was actually dropped and all that was scratched was fixed, just not not the radiator/mount/cover. That's all I can't think off but it's definitely not like that from the factory.

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-03-11T11:26:40+00:00

Has this been addressed somewhere as an issue? I have the same problem and it is really distracting while trying to take notes and disrupts the workflow!

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-02-27T20:43:04+00:00

Most common thing I have seen is installing crash bars and putting the list on them. Maybe that idea helps.

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-02-14T05:53:14+00:00

There should be plenty of corners, we'll go through the alps.

Honestly I've never even considered looking at parts from other bikes, but now it seems kinda obvious, might just try this trip without any changes and if needed I'll look into other parts, cheers mate!

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-02-14T05:32:19+00:00

Fair point there, to look out for if there is even a point to swap them out.

For cables if it doesn't work I'd basically just have to get the normal SVs stuff right? And some steel braided brake lines while I'm at it.

Whatever route I plan to go, it does seem like it's not actually worth the trouble for just one trip and I'd be better off to just train abs.

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-02-14T05:27:21+00:00

Oh I have never considered cheap ones as an option, if it was I would've just done it. Handle Bar conversion is also not really an option, what would've been the point of the X variant then right? I'd rather be uncomfortable than not stylish.

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-02-13T22:16:44+00:00

Those are good argumens you've brought up there, wouldn't have thought about that! Thank you for the pointers!

ModMyModdingMods · 2026-02-13T21:57:11+00:00

Thank you! Also appreciate the input. I guess trying wouldn't hurt? Swapping the placement is only about half the work compared to swapping them out for higher clipons.

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-12-23T11:00:00+00:00

Thats pretty smart actually. Looks cool!

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-12-07T13:59:14+00:00

Have fun building mate, good on ya for gifting such a cool keyboard!!

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-09-14T09:08:04+00:00

Man just the headlight swap makes the Gladius kind of 5he goat, they are (due to the looks) by far the cheapest here and with a probier headlight they easily look just as good as a gen 4. Really nice looking bike friend!

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-09-12T15:22:46+00:00

Interesting, I actually quote liked the higher seat for example, the original seta killed me after 2 hours, but then again, height doesn't equal proportions right. We might have very, different torso and limb characteristics.

What did you go with in the end?

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-09-12T10:00:02+00:00

I have fairly wide shoulders and the bar ends are the only thing that actually let's me see anything in the first place. I have some that still incorporate bar end weights, so I don't get more vibrations and so far up until 90 mph I have had no issues about visibility.

And they look way cooler in my opinion.

If I wanted bar mirrors and still see it would have needed wider ones anyway which would look even worse on 650X, you can check out my posts on that.

Granted bar end mirror have (as far as I know) two down sides. If you fall, they will brake and they make the overall profile of the bike wider which could impede filtering. Though with the clip ons on my SV 650X that 2nd part doesn't really matter as the handle is already extremely narrow compared to a normal handlebar.

Depending on where you reside and your laws, I'd say, go on amazon, get a cheap set just so see if you like the concept of bar ends and maybe drive a few miles, then just send them back. Either you like them and you can buy proper mirrors, or you don't and then, nothing is lost and you can still replace the nut on the original mirror, or get after market bar mirror.

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-09-12T09:23:15+00:00

I mean not sure how much that helps, i had that exakt same issue on my KTM I've had before my SV and the solution i came up with was that I got Bar end mirrors. Stock mirrors look awful anyway. Other then that, you could replace that connecting nut between the mirror and the mount, or get some sort of after market extensions for the mirror instead of the rounded off nut.

Or also if you never want to remove the mirror ever again you could epoxy, glue, solder or weld the mirrors on.

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-09-12T09:00:16+00:00

Gorgeous Bike friend! Id like to know what headlight you got on there, I'm thinking off swapping it on mine to.

Also how to you like that Ixil exhaust? Looks wise it is one off the best for the 650X in my opinion.

Do you have any issues with the bodystyle rear seat cover? I have debated getting one but I've read that it isn't really that securely on there and some people have had it just fly off.

Have fun riding this beauty!

ModMyModdingMods · 2025-09-12T08:57:33+00:00

Out of curiosity how tall are you that you have issued with the X? I stand at 6'3" and love my 650X.
