SV 650 problem !

Post by Steve97 »

Ok so its not a storm but it is my sons and I have to fix it for him !!
I know some of you lads came up from the sv to the storm so thought I might pick your brains before I take a hammer to it .

It keeps on flattening the battery , was out on it sun did about 250 mls went really well then poped back through the can and died flat battery, so bumped it and managed to get it home , it did this last year so after much investigation decided the batt was f..ked replaced it a d all was well until sun.
Have followed the haynes manual and used a multimeter to check out rec/reg and alternator and all apears to be well, he went off to work this morning no probs then it wouldnt start at 5 when he finished, so is there a mod required as in our rec mod or some thing I am at a loss !

It does sound like a battery charging problem, but you say you have checked the R/R with a multimeter. Make sure all the connections are good and check the engine earth. Starter cables. Usual suspects same as the Storm. Go through the same/similar fault diagnosis.
