Re: Complete noob with a dead 2004 SV650S
How would dirty throttle cause this?
I'd check the air filter as said, could make it rich. Balance the throttles and set the TPS.

May not be a dirty throttle but I thought at least checking it and cleaning it was worth doing. Especially with the age of the bike. Is there a possibility it could effect the engine control management?. I remember when I did my rebuild the bikes revs were all over the shop and it would cut out. After I cleaned out the mech that the throttle cables connect to and control the problems were gone.

I have a feeling it's something to do with the bike being restricted though. The restriction is on the throttle and the mechanic that serviced the bike and fitted the restriction overcharged me for getting the restriction fitted, claiming that "because the bike has carbs it means I need to take the whole engine apart to restrict it." I know from reading on here that a 2004 SV is fuel injected. Whether he was ripping me off or just a moron I don't know, but I doubt he knew what he was doing. |

Re: Complete noob with a dead 2004 SV650S
so you bought a bike from a dealer that doesn't run well and was covered in muck with moss growing out of it.
you said you have changed the plugs but now you say that you have cleaned them up. which is it? good luck....... |

Re: Complete noob with a dead 2004 SV650S
I really would not want that mechanic near my bike if he cannot tell the difference. Name and shame so it doesnt happen to others.
