i bought a dodgy bike

i'll see how it goes 2moro thing is its the only bike shop about i think ill pm mogs see where he take his.

perhaps i need more of an autoelectriction

if its not charging=new reg
if it is charging....no it cant be charging

I JUST REMEMBERED SOMTHING THAT MIGHT HELP

the day i had it back with new bat & reg it would start in gear with clutch in ......then a few days later it would'nt

I cant really give you anymore advise. Taking it somewhere else and getting a 2nd opinion is worth doing. If Mogs knows of somewhere thats probably worth a try.

Seems you have a few little gremlins that want sorting out...

yeah,fair play i have draggad it on a bit

i took it to this garage cos i thought a bigger garage would be more expensive

last question should my bike start in gear with the clutch in ...i say yes . he say some do some dont but. he should know which do &which dont

sorry 1 more thing the reg he found may have been suzuki, but i doubt very much it was 0f a sv659s 99-02

Yes you should be able to start the bike in gear with the clutch in, but I think this will only work if the sidestand is up.

With the bike in neutral you'll need to pull the clutch in to start it, this is a Suzuki quirk, or it is on the all the Suzuki's i've ridden,

My old Apriila didnt need the clutch pulled into start it though.

Official Suzuki garages in South Wales...
Bevans in Cardiff, Thunder Road in Bridgend, I think there are one or two in Swansea / Port Talbot... there may be more... Bevans is on Hadfield road.. not that far from Ninian park... just dont go near the place when Cardiff city are playing, as there will be traffic all over the place!

Thunder road is in Bridgend, I went there when I had the SV and thought something had gone wrong, they looked at it straight away for me...

if you dont want to take it to a Suzuki dealer, there are a few more to choose from, maybe worth taking it to a bike shop who has a dealership of some sort.. less likely to try and pull the wool over your eyes as that can back fire quite easy on them....

Some reg / rec's off other bikes will work. Like I said do a search its been covered before. If you havent put a comptable part into your bike then I'm not surprised it doesnt charge...

most Suzukis need the clutch pulled in to start if its in gear or not... some only need the clutch pulled in if its in gear...

i know. u got to pull clutch in to start sv .mine will start in neatrel but not in gear as you need more power in battery when in gear??

like i said i thought the likes of thundreroad would be dear hourly rate. but in the long run i should have

Have you got the sidestand down ? if so theres a cutout switch that kills the engine when the side stand is down. I think this works regardless of whether the clutch is in or not.
