Loss of power I would wager is down to water getting into / onto the front spark plug. Its quite a common problem with the SV.

If you have a play with the search function theres plenty of threads on the subject and how to resolve it.

As for the fuel light, cant help on that one sorry.

the thread is weatherproofing the electrics

You can always make your own fenda extenda like I did out of a mineral water bottle and tape, lasted a while:
