JEN
halfords do a good charger ..small plug in the wall job with croc clips on so u dont have to take it off the bike.....
or an optimax of course for £40

or take te battery off and take it to the dealer in yer car and say u want a new one!>> they will test it there n then - or if better go a local motorbike shop and ask them to test it..! .......

I think it will be the batery or a bad eart nothing major to worry about mate... but- if you got a warranty- give them a call

jenni 15-08-05 11:21 AM

bought an optimate from the local bike shop and had a chat with the mechanic there. He reckons it sounds like the battery or the regulator/rectifier (isn't that an known sv issue???)

Hopefully the optimate will sort it out enough to ride to york

Thanks for all your help guys, will let you know how I get on.

Hi Jenni,
What year is your SV? If you are taking it back to the dealer ask them to check the following:- Early ones had problems with the bar that secures the front seat rubbing through the wiring loom and blowing fuses, easy fix. Also check the drain pipe from the petrol tank filler is correctly routed, early ones had problems with them getting kinked and water then gets into the tank.

Thanks all, esp Quiff.

Fired up first time this morning after a night on the optimate :P :P

I was working away today so leave her without the optimate for 10 hours and she still fired up when I got home.

I've called my dealer, and they didn't sound surprised so I will probably ride over to York tommorow to put my mind at rest.

Went for a good 1 1/2hr ride around bradford/ leeds which was cool, also dropped the bike :oops:

Luckily on grass, I was in the wrong gear and stalled and just lost it :oops: . A nice minicab driver :shock: picked it up for me

TOO ALL NEW RIDERS BUY R+G's - NOT A SCRATCH!!! :shock: :shock: :) (well my lhs mirror casing cracked and the mirror popped out, but not bad, still works fine)

Was seriously put off after that but got back on and had a blast- feel so much more confident now.

Have left the bike alone tonight and will see if it starts tommorow. If not will optimate again and get the dealer to sort it.

But feel much better now!!

:wink:

glad you're better disposed towards it now! :lol:

OK so you've got the drop out of the way too, so you needn't do that again! :riding:
