First post so hi all, site's been a very great help since getting my SV.

Afraid I don't have a solution Richard, but mine ('00 curvy) is doing exactly the same thing, has been for a couple of weeks now (since the beginning of the snowy cold spell I think).

Re-tensioned and lubed the throttle cables to no avail, and it's not the throttle stop. I've just stripped & cleaned the carbs and they seemed fine - the only thing I noticed that could be amiss was the choke plungers, which seemed a bit clogged up with rust & gunky crud. Cleaned them off and they seemed to work ok though.

If anyone's got any advice I too would greatly appreciate it - feeling a bit self-conscious when "idling" at a set of lights in town, and it can't bode well for fuel consumption.
