HI
I own a SV650S, 2005.

Having trouble starting after bike has been off the road for a while (6 months).

I am turning off car battery, have new plugs which are sparking, added some fresh fuel. The best is has done is start for a second and then die repeatedly.

When turning fuel flows from the tank so I dont think its field pump. I am thinking injectors/sensors. Next actions to remove/clean injectors with carb cleaner, flush tank and use fresh petrol and try again.
Any advice much appreciated :)

Cheers
Rob

Re: Starting Issues

Any fault codes shown?

I would be cautious about using carb cleaner on the injectors, carb cleaner is aggressive stuff and the injectors need a complete seal.

Stuff I have is labeled as carb and injector cleaner.
