running rough this morning - SV650.org

10-09-08, 11:37 AM

Ok so started the bike up this morning fine. Put a little bit of choke on it then procedded to get my kit on. Pushed it around the front then it cut out. Tried getting it going and it took about 4-5 goes with the starter to start. A bit of spluttering and it sounded rough. Had to keep the throttle open to keep it tiking over. Once it was warm it seemed fine but took about 5 mins to egt going.

Any ideas whats up?

It's getting colder out?

I do notice as well that my bike is a bit more/less vibey in different weather conditions (ie high/low pressure)

Probably left the choke on to long and you might have got a little moisture in with your mix. Was it a touch cold and damp this morning in your area?

Yeah mine was a bit rough this morning as well had to try two times to start it and put a bit of throttle on to get it going before I put the choke on. after that it was fine.

Heavy rain through the night and a chilly start. There won't be anything wrong with it matey. See if it does it again later today as it's nice and warm outside now

also if you go on short journeys a lot in this kinda weather, that has a bearing on your start up. SVs don't like short damp runs at all. I have learned a large lesson from doing this over the years on my two
