hi newbie super help needed ....

cutting a long story short .... i picked up a low millege crash damaged sv650 2001 it had a light front end which i have started to get the bits to rebuild the only thing is i havent had it running yet as the ignition was nakered and it has a datatool alarm fitted to which i have no fob this i am sorting..... the problem is i removed the fuel tank today and carbs and there is engine oil in the forward facing cylinder's inlet port .... what does this mean?

How much oil, there's usually some in the air box

Might help knowing where you're based, then folk can come round and help you out

Pics would assist too

cheers for reply im in the west midlands not far from stourbridge... the air box was very wet and i can see the oil level at the btm when i look down the inlet port , could it be that when it was on its side it may have tracked back through the crankcase breather system filled the airbox-carb-then cylinder? as there is none out the exhaust .....

Yeah that scenario is quite possible.
Suck as much as you can out of the port, then take the plugs out and crank it by hand (turn rear wheel in gear or use a socket on crank), to make sure it isn't hydraulically locked.

For the alarm you'll need to track through the loom and see what the buggers have cut up to fit it and take all the bodges out.

For the ignition you can disassemble the switch by taking the barrel off it and just use it like a switch or get a replacement set, or indeed build a lightweight loom with no switch at all just the killswitch.

i hope thats it too,thanks guys sometimes you just need to hear it from some one else , as far as the alarm i have located a full loom no alarm for 99p off internet which turned up today like brand new! as im stripping the bike for a trackday machine i may do what you said with the ignition good idea save me pennys on the switch as they are not cheap..... regards Dave.

My track SV is keyless, its quite easy to do

please advise hardhat harry i may be doing it soon...
