DescriptionThe whole story▼
Under two kilograms, on a motorcycle that has been the sensible middleweight choice for a quarter of a century. The SV650's standard silencer weighs 4.28 kg; this carbon one weighs 1.99, and both approvals stay in place.
Key Features
- 1.99 kg against the standard 4.28 kg: 2.29 kg and 53.5 per cent less
- Carbon fibre construction
- EC and ECE type approved, plus EPA
- 1.1 Nm more at 5,800 rpm and 1.1 PS at 7,200 rpm
- Covers ten model years and both the SV650 and the SV650X
- Thirty minutes to fit
Ten Years Without a Change
Suzuki introduced this generation of SV650 in 2016 and left the exhaust route alone through 2025 — including the SV650X café racer added in 2018. One part number covers the lot.
That is unusually stable, and it means a slip-on bought for a 2017 bike will fit a 2024 one. On a machine as commonly bought used as the SV650, that is worth knowing.
Read the Peak Figure
Peak output goes from 72.0 PS to 72.1 — effectively unchanged. The 1.1 PS is the gain measured at 7,200 rpm, not an increase in maximum output.
We say that rather than leading with the larger number. On a type-approved slip-on, a curve lifted in the middle and a peak left alone is exactly the correct result.
Why Carbon on This Bike
The SV650 is a plain motorcycle — steel trellis frame, minimal bodywork, a V-twin on display. There is very little on it to look at, which makes the silencer one of the few places a visual change registers at all.
Carbon rather than titanium is the choice that shows. It is also the lighter of the two here.
What the Slash-One Means Here
The /1 marks a revision: Akrapovic keeps the base number when a part is improved rather than redesigned. S-S6SO9-HRC without the suffix is the earlier version, and this is the one currently catalogued.
The V-Twin Is the Reason
Suzuki's 645 cc ninety-degree V-twin has been in production since 1999, and its uneven, offbeat exhaust note is most of why people keep buying SV650s. A carbon silencer does not change that character; it lets more of it through.
With EC and ECE approval in place, it does so legally — which on a bike ridden to work every day is the whole point.
Ten Years of One Part Number
A slip-on that fits a 2016 bike and a 2025 one without change is unusual, and it makes this an easy part to buy second-hand or to move onto a newer SV650 later.
Fitment and Compatibility
S-S6SO9-HRC/1 covers the Suzuki SV650 from 2016 and the SV650X from 2018, through 2025.
Road Approval
EC and ECE type approval are both in place, with EPA certification for the United States. No entry in the vehicle documents is required.
