Odd choke/running problem - Page 2 - SV650.org

It's a tricky one alright, I will take this opportunity to wind you up for not riding in the winter... Only things I can think of, could it be the throttle cable is too tight? Otherwise, hmm. If the fuel level was too low for one of the pilot jets on the stand then that could be it, but if the floats were sticking that badly I thought you'd notice it at other times too.

If you stopped *uck*ing with your bike it might work

You're cutting me man, you're cutting me deep- you try riding with a broken hip

And Andrew, for you of all people to say such a thing

I've resolved not to care about it, it's so easily worked around and might be sorted when it's getting rejetted anyway so not a big deal. Though I can also rule out throttle cable action, since I just replaced the right hand throttle thinger/grip with one off an R6 and replaced the "pull" cable.

Hmm, good point, I understand your sig now. Didn't know they made a smiley just for you.

Maybe it just needs a good seeing to and it'll clear itself up. Whatever the reason, these things don't really like being idle.

What's that noise, the sound of an approaching TT400?
