Curvy SV650 won't start. - SV650.org

Evening y'all,
Right, I've had my Sv for around 4 months, been out on it daily and nothing's been wrong with it. Come to start it yesterday morning and nothing..

I've had a look at it, everything works! Lights indicator etc.. It also bumps? But it doesn't start off the electric start button.. The first thing I had checked was the fuel and to make sure the kill switch was off! All the wires are fine and have been given a clean with some electrical cleaner. The battery is charged and the regulator and fuses are also fine. It's a 2000 Sv special.
Need opinions on what you guys thinks wrong!
Thanks
Liam

Haven't the foggiest mate but that is one gorgeous SV! Nice to see other people rocking the orange / copperish colour scheme

Ah well, looking to get a different set of lights for the front of the Sv (Speed Triple lights)
Love your Sv aswell. What make exhaust?
Thanks!

Triple lights would look pretty cool, make sure you get the flyscreen with it though, looks bare without it. Plus a bellypan wouldn't go amiss

Its a Lazer X-treme GP style exhaust off of a gixer, got it off a fellow 'orger

Aye, definatley getting a screen for it aswell! Been looking for a belly pan for quite a while now, want one which is a similar colour to mine!

You could get any old coloured belly pan and ask Phil_24_7 to spray it in your colour if you want? He has a spray booth or something and colour matched my lower fairings perfectly to my bike. You'd never know they were originally blue haha

Have a look at your clutch ignition switch. Ya know, the switch that gets pushed on the handle bar when you pull the clutch in. That my only thought at this time!

Does it turn over but not start, or does it do nothing when you press the button?

There is no hope of getting a realistic diagnosis without providing better information, any suggestions anyone could give you thus far is just guessing.

Nope nothing turns over when you press the button, it feels like there is literally nothing behind there. Feels like a dudd button

Have you checked all the wiring? I've just had the same problem and it turned out to be a loose connection in the loom just to the right of the air box.
