Howdy,

Long time lurker finally getting round to posting and woefully asking for help, typical isn't it?

I've a 2001 SV650 which is in need of a throttle plate or butterfly valve depending who you ask and where you look! Somehow it's gotten out of shape and the valve no longer closes on the front, resting about 1/1.5cm from the idle screw.

Can't seem to find anything with a google search and could do without the expense of a new(old) set of bodies/carbs.

My own fault, lay her up for a while at my parents house as I needed the space come to pick her up she's all angry.

So in short if anyone has a suggestion/advice that doesn't involve buying another set from eBay I'd be very interested to hear

I'll see if I can upload the picture, mobile isn't loving this though..

Cheers
