New Leaf, have a read of this thread, explains it better than I can.
http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.ph...ght=carb+icing Basically, your bike wont as well as it should when you open the throttle, and I found that when I stopped at junctions the bike wouldnt idle and would stall. HTH

Makes it run like it's full of spanners, mainly. It happens most on cold, damp days, and it's caused by physics. Something to do with expanding gases cooling, or somesuch
 Ice in carbs. Yes. That's it. Pro FST stops it, meaning you don't need to know what it actually is.
