cutting out problem. - SV650.org

Hi my names Rich and live in northants and brought my dream bike a sv650s back in June which has been great, but only last week i changed the oil in it as i thought i would treat it to a little TLC, but since then it occasionally cuts out whilst going along and with out any reason, so far only done it at slow speeds and starts straight away and runs no probs, admittedly i did put about half a litre to much oil in and run it like it for about 6 miles till i realised but drained it out and put the correct amount in. wondered if anyone could throw some light on this for me, cheers all.

Try lifting the tank and taking out the air filter.Then look inside the airbox and see if it blew a load of oil up the breather pipe when it had too much in.There's normally a bit in there,but if great gobs of it came up it may have partially clogged your air filter.Are you sure your oil level is now correct?

Is the idle speed high enough? should be between about 1300-1500rpm?

Cheers both or you for that, i will look at the airbox later and check that theres not too much oil in it and also check the idle speed, thanks will let you know the outcome for future reference, thanx.

Hi all, i took your advice on the bike and found about a t-spoon of oil in the airbox and the idle speed is ok, i have spoke to a suzuki dealer who think the breather pipes may have some oil in ad just run it till it clears. thanx again and will see what happens.

Did you by any chance ride the bike in rain immediately after the oil change?
