One of the ladies on our site has asked for advice about her bike


Hi, got a wee prob with the old girl and wonderd if any1 has had anything similar?
SV650 - every now & agn, cuts out unexpectedly
(2nite was on a r/bout!),
but does start straight away again.

Has also just developed a small pinking noise (not conatant) that sounds like a radiator does wen its cooling down (but thats not it!)

Any ideas? x

I don't know about the 650, but the 1000 is well known for the Green Connector issue. There's a multi connector under the headstock which is prone to frying itself, giving various problems including loss of lights, clocks, indicators and up to complete and total breakdown. Easy to fix, just a bit fiddly.
A bit more info would be handy-age of the bike, mileage, service history.

Pinking-is it while the bike's running, under load or when stationary? Or is it when she stops it? It's not possibly the cans cooling more rapidly in the cooler weather? Again, a bit more info would be handy. Smile

PS may seem slightly random, but does the clutch cutout switch work properly. Has it been bypassed?

This is all happening whilst the bike is running but not sure what age it is will ask when she comes on line
