new to this site and motorbiking bought a 1999 sv 650 on monday (have had 20 years on tuning vespas and lambrettas) very happy with it till today went out for a ride and started to lose 1 cylander and rev counter (does this hint which cylander it is as its the one the feed for rev counter comes from?) started only a slight bit then got worse and worse till i limped home on 1 cylander , i am hoping this is just a loose wire as my boiler has just blown today as well (good job its warm as bike comes first) has any one had the same problem ? it was dry so no water probs. are the coils under the tank ? or front seat ? any info very welcome as only want to ride not pull it in bits
thanks

sounds like the front cylinder coil feeds mate, lift the tank and it's bolted to the inside of the frame.

Cheers Mark.
