SV's and rain!!!!!
So I'm guessing from the forum I'm not the only one who is having problems with the rain. Yes apparently as well as suffering from carb icing in the cold my 99 SV650's now doesnt like water, with one cylinder working on the M25 it was a most enjoyable ride home. According to my local mechanic a fender extender will solve all my problems.

We did a 603 mile day in torrential rain coming back from Germany last year.
Bike never missed a beat.....................and yes, we have a fender extenda. Had a few problems before we fitted it, but certainly not every time it rained.............it had to be REALLY heavy rain.

Yes once you fit a fender extender, or anyother device to stop the front pug from getting waterlogged, then you will happy rainfree running
 My SV never stared to show symptoms for over 2 and a half years, but hwen i started, it never stopped. |

I should be getting an extenda from daddy sperm pretty soon and I'll let you know if it makes a difference.
