So I took my SV in for her 4000 mile service today. After I got her back home I decided to wash her, that's when I noticed a strong smell of gas comming from the engine. I looked, no gas was leaking so I tried to start up. When I turned the key FI dummy light stayed on. The engine would crank but not fire up.
I called the shop and spoke was the service manager, he thought that I put too much gas in the tank and some fuel went in to my charcoal can (CA model). He told me to open up the throttle all the way and try to start.....Success.......Well some what, I took her out but she was not happy about it. The bike kept stalling and was really jerky. So I got her home. I figured I'd try later after maybe some of vapor would clear out with time.
A few hours later I tried again. This time, like the last the FI light stayed on. I opened up the throttle and pressed the start button...... it died like the battery was low. At the same time I herd a crackling sound and spotted smoke comming out form under my seat. Needless to say that I shout her down and that I'm not very happy. I know the shop f**ked up something.
What do you all think???????
BTW it's a 2003 1KS
