Hope you had a fenda extender fitted to the front fender, you know SV650's have a habit of cutting out on the front cylinder in heavy rain

I just ordered one in fact. I don't think it would have helped me that day, though, since the front cylinder was completely underwater. I also put dielectric grease around the plug wire. Hope it helps if I go through this again.

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone!

No, nothing would have helped the front plug that day

Great video. That looked like a lot of fun (apart from the wet cylinder). Hope they gave you a pay rise for your efforts.
