My wife has a 2000 sv650 with about 30,000 mi on it.  I've checked the valve adjustment a couple of times and it has yet to need adjustment. 
The front for springs were so weak when we got it that it was a hazard to ride in parking lots.  The oversteering was god awful.  We got new springs and race tech fork emulators and that fixed the front end.  I would suggest your friend do the same as his first mod.  I picked up a shock from a GSXR 750 on ebay and that fixed the rear.  I don't think that my wife will ever let me sell it.  I've even offered to get her a monster and no luck.
