No ones going to answer / be able to help you without more information than just that. If you want some help post more details

Re: curvy sv bogs down/loses power?
 

I'm certainly not the most experienced but my thought processes are:

Does it tick over ok?
Possibly carp in the tank/fuel filter/carbs?
What speed does it happen, how often?
Do clocks stop working during this bogging down? I.e does rev counter drop to 0?

Last thing you want is carp in your tank. I had a similar problem and found this fella in there!

I heard they swim about and help keep the fuel fresh?! Personally I drop a couple of Guppies in once a week ;)

That's a Chub :cool: and a nice one at that

Mine does this if the front plug has got wet. I know we've had no rain for ages, but just check the drain hole (right side) on the front cylinder is not blocked and they'res no water sitting in there?

Spray some WD40 down the plug tunnel

Washed the bike recently?

i would say wet plug syndrome as mavi, but without more info its going to be hard

Thats a beaut the tank would be the ideal size (brine provided every 110 miles) :smt036

Does it only happen at a certain rpm?

If so, a wild guess could be the foam underneath the tank.
