I guess this is why the SV650 now comes with that little rubber flap covering the front cyclinder?
I'm glad they sorted it. |

Thankyou all for your help and advice.
I'd also like to mention whilst I'm not sure if I'm a ham fisted rider, I think I did pretty good in not coming off the bike! In actual fact the car driver behind me stated he thought I must be related to Mr Rossi! Will be greasing the bike up good and proper this evening! |

Hi SV Dan
Mine's got the flap. To all - no intention to discredit what I'm sure is a fantastic machine - just being as honest as i can be! Thanks again. Purns |

Fenda extenda and or silicone grease as per Northwind is the way to sort it out.

Liz's K5 did it once I think when it was new and then was fine until the other weekend. When it was fine out in the rain all weekend and then we put it away in the garage over night and when she tried to start it on Monday morning to ride to work it would only run one cylinder.

That's actually different, yes it was the cylinder misfiring, but then (and flame me for being harsh again) he opened up the throttle in frustration (I'm guessing) and and the cylinder fired again, and the outcome was (sorry about this) somewhat preventable, though completely understandable.
(hope he's nicely on the mend though, as per my post in that thread) . |
