I rode my SV all day Sunday, parked it up. Went to ride it to work on Tuesday, turn the ignition and nothing happens. The fuel pump doesn't prime, the indicators, parking/side lights work and so does the rear light but there is no speedo/display or anything and the headlights don't turn on and worst of all the bike doesn't start. Checked the battery and all fuses and all seems fine I don't know what else to do apart from take it to a mechanic. Any advice?

turn your ignition on and wiggle the wires that come out the right hand side of the frame at the forks and see what happens.

How did you check the battery, and what figures did it give you?

Apart from making the text smaller as Sid said, you have done the obvious things like kill switch, side stand etc?

Sorry about the text size it was an accident haha. I have tried the kill switch flicking it back and forth and the side stand button/switch. I haven't checked any of the relays and I will try wiggling the wires to the right of the bike today. I tested the battery by putting a multimeter on the positive and negative terminals. How would I go about testing the relays?

Do you have an aftermarket clutch lever?

check the wires under the tank that comes from the ignition. mine did similar thing. did everything but start. problem was one wire had bad connection, just had to reconnect it.
