yeah, they seem to crack behind the steering stem....i know of at least 3 different frames with the same style of cracks!!

I think the oil pickup in the TL is in the rear of the engine so that is good for long wheelies, not sure about the SV650. My first engine lasted about 15,000 miles - my second about 13,000 miles and my third about 1000 miles so I think the TL is a strong engine. Try not to do 2+ mile wheelies and overfill the oil about a quart. Read my post on molybdenum disulfide and see what you think.
