New bike running rich, please help

Hey guys. So after a couple years out (after some ******* nicked my last one!) I'm about to get an sv650. The bike is at the Suzuki dealers getting the once over. There is a slight issue with it running rich. It stalls when you blip the throttle. It has a really short race can on it and a k&n. Is this an easy/common problem. Any advice would be welcome. Cheers.

curvy or pointy?

It's a pointy EFI one...

Idle speed to low?

Any fault codes showing?

hhhhmm, wrong plugs, temp or TPS sensor knackered. not much else apart from black box or water in the petrol.

Does the price you're paying reflect solving the fault yourself? If it's a dealer selling it I'd be hesitant (why not fix it and sell it for much more? )

Yeah. I was thinking it would be something like that. I`ll see what the mechanics say to it. It's not serious enough to back out of the deal is it tho?

Its private sale. The guy just took it in for a once over and to get the rear pads changed

ahh I see, see what the mechanics say. Can't say I know much about the fuel injection unfortunatley. The price should still reflect the fault though, what price are you paying and what's the details of the bike?

i would expect any bike i bought from a suzuki dealer to be perfect first time and have no faults.

if there are faults i would be thinking twice about buying from them. after all you could save a lot more £££ buying private at this time of year. unless the dealer is giving you a cracking deal then walk and go to the next bike shop, after all its not like there aren't plenty sv's around.
