Heavy rain owns my bike.
 

Hi everyone!
Got a problem with my little SV...
I have been riding in rain today and suddenly the bike started stalling. Than it went normally for a while and started choking again and than went normally for a bit and so on...
I managed to ride it all the way home, but really unsure if it will be ok to ride it tomorrow again :-/
I hade a very similar thing, the cylinders got flooded and I had to toe it to the shop but they were more sealed this time by the mechanic (hi Stewart!).
Is this a common issue with SV?
It seems a bit ridiculous to me that I can't ride in heavy rain...

tiz a common fault, water getting into the front plug and or electrical connectors. a fender extender sorts most of it out.

Bibio should know as he likes his river-crossings. :evil: ;)

I just use silicon grease.

Take front plug cap out, smear the underneath of the oval cap with a good dod of grease. Again evertime you change plugs.

No probs. Always get the chance to fast fjord some big puddles up here.
