My son's SV650S1 (10/2003) was stolen, dumped in the Torrens River and recovered the next day.

The thieves broke the ignition switch and top clamp and blew the fuse in a failed attempt to start it.

I dismantled, cleaned and dried bits as needed. No water got into the engine or fuel tank.

The new parts took a long time to come from Japan.

Reassembled, all seems fine. It turns over but won't start,

Does anyone know if I need to bleed the fuel system, if the tank has been off for a long time? If so, how is this done?

Thanks for any suggestions. (Its not like working on the T250 of my youth).

Best wishes, Ian
