Misfire - K5.
Hi Motorcycle lovers
Need some help. A couple of weeks ago my k5 SV650s developed a fault. At riding temp around 80degrees it misfires I have just had it on a dyno for a diagnostics check and it has come up with no fault. The thought is it could be a Crank Position Sensor as the place have had a motorcycle (not an sv) in with the same problem and it turned out to be the C.P.S. I have checked the ht leads, spark plugs, vacuum hoses and all the connections. Has any one had the same problem with their SV. |

Re: Misfire while riding
Mine did this and surged as well, replaced plugs with Iridiums which solved it, not to say it will on yours though.

Re: Misfire while riding
I have changed the plugs however not for iridiums, was thinking of changing to iridiums so I shall give them ago.
Cheers for the suggestion Stormingjoe |

Re: Misfire - K5.
Both my Sv's did this at some point. I fiddled around with the air box and mountings to the carbs and throttle bodies which seemed to fix it for me?
Not sure if this will help |

Re: Misfire - K5.
Thanks for all the suggestions and advice, I have sorted the problem.
It was the throttle position sensor. |
