whats rining my alarm bells is:
1. sidestand switch or clutch switch is fubar. when these go you can usually start the bike when the sidestand is up or down depending on what mode the switch is stuck at. problem is the SV has a "check" built into the ECU so a fubar switch will stop the bike from starting. sometimes giving the bike a push start will "jiggle" the switch enough to let the bike start.

2. smoke from the drain hole, thats mousture so water is getting into the plugs. if water is getting into the plugs it will trap itself under the plug cap causing arching and eventually break down the plug insulation.
