bike wont idle - SV650.org

11-05-06, 10:19 PM

I have a 2004 sv650s that started up fine. I waited for it to warm up, then drove off. At the first stop sign it died. Started fine but had to keep giving it gas to keep going. Every light for next 10-20 minutes had to rev engine. Then it worked fine again. Trying to sell the bike and worried this might happen again. The bike has a full titanium hindle exhaust and has been de-snorkled. Also has comp works fender eliminator kit, so turn signals have been changed. If youve ahd this problem please let me know.

Maybe a dumb ass question, but have you tried turning the idle screw up?

Are you sure that the choke plungers have not got stuck in the open position?

Possibly just some crap in the lines. It may just go away as quickly as it came.
