So, it's not an SV650X which you put in your first post? It's a curvy - a carb model?
One problem that can afflict curvy's is sticking choke plungers.

I haven't owned a curvy in a while but one problem I encountered was a failing fwd cylinder plug - the bike started ok and would run for bit then start misfiring. It's the only bike I've owned that has a plug malfunction (other than a 2 stroke oil fouling - but that went with the territory).

Make sure you buy your NGK plugs from a reputable source - there are a lot of counterfeits.
