SV running on one cylinder?
My 650 v-twin is now a 325 single.
Riding to work this morning, coming up to a junction I pull in the clutch to change down and she stalls. No big deal I tell myself, I start her back up and have next to no power and she stalls every 3 seconds. What do I do? |

Re: As if by magic.
This happened to me once before. Check your front spark plug is not drowned with water and the drain hole is not blocked. Check the wires on the front coil and not loose damaged or coroded. Dry everything and try it again.

Re: As if by magic.
Get a fenda extenda and fit that, it'll stop the front plug getting drowned
smear some red rubber grease round the underside of the rubber grommet for the plug cap too, that'll make it seal better

Re: As if by magic.
So getting a new plug on a garages suggestion is a waste of money. Ok.

Matt. You are just up the road from me, so I guess it was ****ing down this morning and the roads were soaked. Fenda extenda, red grease, and check that the plug drain hole is not blocked. That should sort it.

Re: As if by magic.
Yep, pretty much, although might be wise to change it, as mine was corroded after suffering water damage.
But fenda extenda is a priority buy
