 A possible cause of water ingress could be this, the original sv can suffer with a fracture of the overflow pipe (leading from the filler cap), as this runs through the tank it can lead to water in the fuel, and on occasion even the back bottom corners rusting though .not alot you can do about it though, as normally this needs a new tank (although I have done one with some flexable plastic pipe and sealed it at the filler cap), if this is the case your best bet is to plug the hole in the filler cap, ahlthough this will obviously mean overfill won't run away.

Well, I can offer that it's probably not the carbs.
I took mine apart yesterday and everything appeared to be fine. They were clean enough and all the seals were tight. I cleaned 'em anyways since they were open, but it's back to the drawing board. I'm going to investigate the starter generator more soon, but I'm off to Whistler this weekend for boozin' and snowboarding. Gotta get my kicks somehow, bike or no bike. |

surely cant be the choke cable, cos its idling normally?
its not carb icing, im sure... the wd40 all over the engine/plugs/electrics seemed to work, then it chucked it down again and it started playing up again. my guess now is dodgy electrics or plugs, though the plugs were replace d on my service... |

could well be a coil and/or HT lead going down.
It can run OK at idle and light load, but when you open the throttle the voltage requirement for the spark increases which can show up any weaknesses. Best way to decide this is by substituting known good parts. Technical diagnosis of coils/leads requires specialist equipment, do it by trial and error first. |
