Engine vibrations SV650SK3
My sk3s seems to have a mind of it's own, when riding the engine feels vibey
And almost restricted but when I stop at lights and pull away again It sometimes feels smoother like it used to. I now have 26k on the clock but can't figure out what's going on, any ideas guys..? |

Re: Engine vibrations
The temp is always around 85-90, I must admit she is pretty dirty as used every day. I'll treat her tonight and clean her, maybe that'll help.

Re: Engine vibrations
before you start digging deeper why not just change plugs and air filter - give it an oil change and oil filter too!

Re: Engine vibrations
Ok will do, I did change the oil filter and plugs about 5k ago, but I'll take the plugs out and check them. Thanks.

"About 5k ago"
It needs a service then (every 5k)

Re: Engine vibrations SV650SK3
Yeah by the sounds of it, it needs a good fettling.
Oil should be every 3000 miles (or 3500 every other change, going by book). It would probably also benefit from syncing the TBs and setting the TPS.

Re: Engine vibrations SV650SK3
TBs, throttle bodies.
TPS, throttle position sensor. Plus general fettle, spark plugs, air filter. How long have you owned this bike? Have you ever looked at the service schedule?

Re: Engine vibrations SV650SK3
As above a bit of a service is definatly needed there, oil an filter air filter spark plugs if they look like they need to be done.
Possily balane up the fuel system aswell. |
