Charging problem - tell me how to hotwire an SV. - SV650.org

My 02 sv has a charging problem, got picked up by van, home, to a new house, put the only key somewhere, moved everything, Key lost.

I have an opportunity to do some work on it, and need to get past the ignition, I have the funny torx bit, can get at all the wiring, can anyone clue me up to a quick Hotwire to jump start it, to test the charging out and order my locks and I suspect, a reg/rec.?

Guy from liverpool asks how to hotwire an SV... you've got no chance!

I'd just replace lock, since you need one anyway...

When I lost the keys to my old CBR400 I just took the ignition off, took it to a locksmith that does vehicle locks and they split the ignition, cut me two new keys and gave me intact ignition back for less than 24quid.

It is your best bet. Just get the yellow pages...or yell.com.

I would never have thought of taking a bike lock to a locksmith (no joke). Top tip.

No joke for me either. I had mobile locksmiths quoting me well over a ton to come and cut me just one new key, most were closer to 200 as it was a grey import but when i called Gem Security they could not have been more helpful...or reasonable cost wise.

Only problem was, a few days later, I found the original key, along with a radiator bleeding key and a bowl from the kitchen under a tree in the back garden!!! Don't ask...
