I have a question about the priming pump that engages before starting the SV. I think it is the fuel pump, but if that is wrong someone please correct me.
I purchased a 2003 SV650 about a year ago, and have put several thousand miles on it so far. I always park the bike in 1st gear, and have always noticed that when I go to start the bike, I put the key in and turn it, then once I put it in Neutral I hear the pump engage. For the first time this week I noticed several instances where the pump started priming before I put it in Neutral (while still in first gear).
I am not sure what is totally normal for this bike yet, and I am hoping that it will not be an issue, but I know that this is the right place to ask these kinds of questions.
Thanks in advance!!!
