Running lean / rich
Pulling off quickly at lights I get pretty little juice and it almost feels like the clutch is slipping (it could be?) and when I open the throttle quickly occasionally (like twice probably) the revs drop off as it's too rich.
Is it worth getting the bike rejetted? I'm thinking of getting a pipercross induction kit from JHS and think this would exacerbate my issues. (how much does rejetting cost?) |
Re: Running lean / rich
For a pointy you'd need to fit some carbs before you could rejet :-P
Depends where you go, Beowulf near me charge £35/hr for tuning on a dynapro dyno. TBH it sounds like you've got other problems though. |
Re: Running lean / rich
Quite obviously don't know what I'm talking about :). I think I mean fuelling although I think the prior issue could be the clutch or my riding and the second only happened twice when I snapped the throttle open quite quickly.
You're a little bit far from me but I'll see how much JHS charge. I could be making issues from nothing, I just want to spend about £100 on the bike to stop me buying a new one. I love the SV but want a bit more from it |
Re: Running lean / rich
I'm not sure you have a problem as such, to be honest sounds like just the crude nature of the pointy injection system, if however you feel the clutch is causing a problem Anna posted a useful guide to checking the adjustment here.
As to performance gains, what are you after ? if just a little more acceleraton then perhaps a change in sprocket size would do as a cheap option, failing that a full system, filter and remap is really the only way, but that'll cost more than the £100 you've allocated. HTH Cheers Mark. |
Re: Running lean / rich
Might go for the filter and remap, already got a slip on not really wanting a full system. Can you map the stock ecu?

you may get a little more out of the engine this way, but it's more likely to just smooth what you already have, so don't expect to much. Cheers Mark. |
Re: Running lean / rich
By filter I meant induction kit, getting rid of the stock airbox. Have just heard that they can mess up the fuelling which is why I thought it'd benefit from a remap?

Re: Running lean / rich
crude on a pointy?????...ive just bought my first sv650(k4)..after 25 yrs of bikes from 50c to 1200cc...and i can honestly say its the best bike ive rode, only done 500+ miles so far this week but its ace..

On the other hand; more air+ more petrol+ more exhaust hole (full system) = more power.....:cool: the above is simplified of course, but it has to be balanced or you're either wasting money or screwing up the bikes running. Cheers Mark. |
