when the engine is at idle it should be roughly about 1200rpm.

this depends on the year of the SV as after k7 it has an auto idle.

easy to test if it has a notch. turn the idle screw out a baw hair while the bike is warm and idling. if the revs suddenly drop a fair bit then bingo you have your problem.
