Running Pigging in the Wet - SV650.org

01-06-05, 08:19 PM

Hi Guys - yet another pouring wet ride back from work for me and Mabel today and for only the second time she behaved like a pig. Clearly the old front cylinder problem, which has recenlty begin to afflict her (hence the 2 incidents only). I know I can bung on a fender extenda but they will spoil her pretty girl looks. Anyone got any quick fixes which work, given that she has only started to do this in the wet after 14k miles. Ta.

Hey BB

Other than making 100% sure that all the usual stuff like the plug cap is very snuggly secure, then im affraid its an extender. Mine took over 20k for it to start playing up. Since fitting the extender, its never ever done it again!

I have a fenda extenda and have never had any wet weather problems. That's 21k miles and two winters. SVs don't look girlie, so no worries about spoiling the pretty girl looks

I think Mac had a quick fix solution. Something to do with WD40 and a small hole. Maybe something else.

Never had a problem the first year, but last winter got it a couple of times, now have a fender ext

the wd40 thing is just to spray thru the engine breather hole, dry's the plug out
