What would stop a curvy sv charging?
Currently trying to get a curvy sv to start, it starts straight away off jump leads... But doesn't seem to hold a charge?
Any ideas? Last edited by G; 21-03-10 at 03:49 PM. |

Re: What would stop a curvy sv charging?
When it's running the lights flicker and when it's revved they stop flickering. Am I right in thinking that's probably the battery.

Battery likely if you take jump leads off and it carks it. When was the last time he rode it?

Re: What would stop a curvy sv charging?
Search for a post by Sid Squid, theres some really good instructions on how to check the charging system is working properly.

Re: What would stop a curvy sv charging?
No, thats where the main fuse hides (and starter selenoid jobbie)
To get to the reg rec, you need to take off both seats, and remove the rear plastics.  looks like this
