You've got me thinking about the battery! There's the odd time I start the bike that it turns a little on the slow side when starting. It always does start but it could be doing it with more oomph. I always put this down to me stalling it sometimes so the battery going down faster than normal due to the extra start ups. I've ordered a new Yuasa and it'll be here in a 2 or 3 days. Fingers crossed this is the problem and I don't have to start taking the bike apart! ![]() |

PROBLEM SOLVED!!
Sorry for the slow reply, but I got really busy there with work. The problem appears to have been fixed and I owe a huge thanks to Bibio! This has been a problem I've just lived with for a couple years now and all along it was a duff battery. I'm actually shocked this has fixed it as I never expected a battery to cause problems as the petrol went down in the tank. This was the easiest fix ever and i could have sorted it ages ago LOL, oh well. Thank you everyone for the help, you have one happy rider here that owes gratitude to the forum. I can finally enjoy the bike again! |

That's good news, and well done Bibs for getting to the root of the problem.
Enjoy the riding!

I am surprised by this. After 20 yrs plus owning a SV, in all that time duff battery = no start. Live and learn I guess!

I would never expect a dodgy battery to create this kind of problem. I normally change it every 2 or 3 years too, but it's been around 6 since this one was put in. My dad has been repairing bikes for 60 years (used to have a bike shop in dundee) and it surprised him too. Every Day's a school day! |
