I haven't had that happen to me and the SV, but I have had this problem on a different motorcycle. On mine it was a bad float valve in the carb allowing raw fuel to flood a cylinder when the bike was shut off. (not enough to lock the cylinder, but enough to get past the piston rings and wind up in the crankcase mixed with the oil.)
On a fuel injected bike, it might be a sticking injector, or part of the emmissions control gear (like the EVAP) allowing raw fuel into the intakes when the bike is shut off.
