My Service book recons it had some iridium plugs in only 1000 miles ago, is that normal life for sparks plugs?!

To be fair I'd change the plugs straight away if it's an option, plugs will last 3000-6000 and beyond and there's no need for iridiums in the SV. You can always keep the old ones as spares/to put in next service if you rule them out.
I had a similar sounding problem with my curvy, when the choke plungers were seized. The issue raised it's head when the bike was warm, but I think you'd notice it a bit more consistantly if they were properly seized.
If you're changing the plugs I'd check the plungers and possibly clean the carbs as a matter of course while you're down there if it's an option.
Then again I'm just speculating based on experience, I'm no mechanic - you might want to wait for someone else to come along especially if the bike's your only form of transport.
The cylinder being 'faulty' sounds like flashing amber light man bull****, but could be wrong.
Where'd you buy it from out of interest?
