Low revs, stalling and jerky ride - SV650.org

23-12-11, 03:08 PM

Hey Guys.
Over the last week I've noticed my bike (61 reg) has started to be really jerky when maintaining a constant speed under about 3500rpm. Not sure if it's related but when gearing down to approach a stop/roundabout the revs drop to about 800 and then sometimes the bike just stalls.
Is this likely a TPS issue?
Cheers

Its almost new, take it to the dealer and have them fix it under warranty. BTW not that likely to be a TPS issue.

Sounds like a fuel issue

Take it back to the dealers as it should be fixed under warranty
It sounds like a low idle which has happened to me with a new bike or fuel supply issue

As a general point, jerky ride at low revs can also be caused by a under-lubed chain or one with a tight spot in it. But with a 61 plated I would hope not!
