Hi all, I just recently did a motor swap on my 2003 sv650n with a motor from an 04 bike. After it was fully installed, It ran perfectly after firing it up the first time. But after shutting it off, it hasn't started since. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Everytime the key is in the on...

Hey all, New rider here and need some advice. my bike has been standing for 2months now and will be standing to the next spring. So once in awhile I go and start it up, and today was the day. I plugged in the battery and the pump activates and I press the start button, the relay click but the...

Experiencing some problems after installing an aftermarket gauge. My bike was having troubles turning over, the bike will sometimes start. When it does it idles alright and I can rev the engine just fine. However, when I put the kickstand up it will die or when put it into gear it dies. It’s...

2005 SV. Had the bike for a year with no issue. Was riding Friday and made it about 2 miles from the house when the bike went from 45 to an idle and was not taking any gas. Got pulled over, turned off, back on, no dice. The fuel pump still primes, coolant looked good, no problem with temp at...

So I’ve got an 01 sv650, brand new carbs, new petcock, new radiator all the works basically.

Okay so here's the deal. I bought a 2002 sv650 as my first bike about a month ago and I crashed it... crazy I know. But it was a small crash, no terrible damage that I can see. I need to replace the rear brake petal, the handlebars and the frame sliders. it also put a dent in the gas tank from...

This is my first bike and I was riding it, getting use to the clutch. When I was almost done with my u turn the bike fell and the clutch lever did bend a little. I was able to bend the clutch lever back into place but when I try to start the bike again, nothing happens. When I say nothing...

Hi. I just bought a 2001 SV650 (my first big bike) 3 days ago and am really hoping you can help. I know very little about bikes sorry. When the bike arrived it wouldn't start for at least 20 seconds, but then started. (The bike was started the night before, but not started/run before that for 2...

Hi everyone ! Going nuts over this issue. Looking forward to hear from the community. I can hear the starter running, but the engine won't crank. Spraying some carb cleaner straight in the carbs makes the engine run for a few seconds, so I'm guessing the spark plugs are working, and leaning...
