Replaced filter with a BMC free-flow filter.
Removed snorkle off front of air box.
Raised the front of the gas tank by placing washers under the mounts.

WOW, instant horses and torque.

Marked improvement in acceleration (effect like dropping a tooth on the front sprocket, without the cost and gear ratio change problem) :)

Easy mod, quick improvement, very inexpensive, big bang for the buck.

Actually, I was really impressed with how that little mod, woke up that little SV650.

I'd recommend it to any owner of an SV650.

Maybe sure you check your plugs after a while...make sure all that extra air isn't making your motor run too lean when you are at WOT. :)

I'm gonna assume WOT stands for Wide Open Throttle and not something more obscure. :D
