You being a girl and not prodding lever far enough? Check the throw on it vs. where your foot is to make sure there's plenty within reach.

Otherwise could be worn forks/dogs, someone makes a new shift detent star with, I believe, more aggressive slope on its ramps to avoid this.

The number one mod I was told to do over anything else on an SV. Suppose its time I bought it

I can recommend the Factory Pro kit, I bought mine direct from the states, worked out a lot cheaper than sourcing it this side of the pond.

Alternatively buy the SV650 'K5' spring, Star and roller arm, for about £30 i Think, exactly the same as factory pro stuff at a fraction of the price. Beleive it's compatible with Carby motors. Call Sarah @ Steve Jordans - she'll know & can supply the parts. I did this mod to a K3 motor and transformed it. Syptoms were exactly as you describe.

10/10. Suzuki uprated a fair bit on the K5 and this was one of the mods. It works out alot cheaper than the Factory Pro kit and does exactly the same.

thanks for the replys ill give steve jordans a ring.

When you call ask for me, Sarah and i will ensure you get the correct bits.

A quick update the OE upgraded Suzuki kit is £47.36 with org discount plus you will need a new clutch cover gasket unless yours is good making the whole kit for a carby upgrade £58.06 inc org discount and postage.

The shape of that cover is a pain in the rse to cut out of paper. And it will only leak if you don't have a replacement. So I'd recommend ordering a gasket...
