The SV has taken a different turn, I didn't like my attempt at a single seat, so have gone back to the oe seat & I've fitted a...

Re: Bike cuts out after revving
Is the bike stored outside? I had an issue where the tank drain tube was blocked which allowed rain to make its way into the fuel causing issues on my gen 1 bike. Could be worth draining the tank...
