I had a look at the carbs over the weekend, I could see the rear choke quite easily, had a go with a screw driver but could not shift the screw and did not want to shred it, didn't have a lot of time, will try again.
But the front one is hidden in the bowels somewhere so the carbs would have to come out which bother me as I get the feeling they would need balancing when put back, and it doesn't look that easy.
I have read somewhere else that sv's run a bit lean but this problem didn't seem to be there before, maybe I should just ignore it. The increase in MPG wouldn't bother me to much if that is the answer, not sure if't something I'd want to do myself.
I did think maybe I should bite the bullet and get a renegade exhaust put on, they aren't to far from me and could probably 'tune' the carbs at the same time as fitting the exhaust if I took it down to Brands, mind you not a very cheap option at all.
Many thanks again for all your help/advice on this, just wish there was an SV650 specialist mechanic/shop near me in Essex that I could get to fix it.
