I was going to work the other day, fired the bike up , set off got about 10 yards went to change gear and the bike died and stalled, it wouldnt restart . Charged the battery overnight still no good, have a spark on the rear cylinder . Could it be battery its only 3 months old? Or maybe starter motor?, Have my brother coming round at the weekend to give some assistance but any ideass would be useful.
Thanks

Does the engine turn over when you hit the button?

We tested the battery all ok , spark ok , but there doesnt seem enough oomph to get it to start, I have calleded the dealers and am awaiting pick up.
you basically need three things, fuel, compression and spark.
If you are getting a healthy spark on both cylinders and the bike was running reasonably well beforehand then its more than likely fuel supply. Get a set of jump leads connected up between your bike and a car battery with the car engine turned off.
Give it a go trying to start, if the bike is spinning up nice and quick take a look at each spark plug. If you are getting a good strong spark on each its more than likely fuel.
Give it a try starting on part throttle. Also get the bike into 'dealer mode' and see if it displays any error codes for you, might have a faulty sensor or fuel injection system.

my sv did this once, just stalled for no reason at traffic lights and wouldnt start again? i dunno what the cause was but when i did get it started again i never had that trouble again.

the bike is now fixed, it had to go to the dealers they tracked it down to a trapped fuel pipe , that was something we never thought of. Cost £97.50 to repair .
