Cutting Out, won't run at idle.

[gwarner]

Hi can anyone help please. I have a K3 SV 650 and recently it has started to cut out when I slow down or stop. It restarts Ok but then will not run at idle.
Thanks GWarner

Sound like a dying battery.

Mine did that before it died

[gwarner]

Thanks for that. How can you tell before buying a new one

best way to have it load tested at a dealers or parts place. Halfords can also do it if its closer

Thanks mate. Will try at the weekend. Seems a bit strange though because it starts ok.

I suggest upping the idle first - what is your idle set at?

yes do this first ,and you'll probably find 20 seconds to turn a dial saves you 20 mins of ripping out the battery
