1999 Suzuki SV 650 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

MMMM think you remove rear seat, and then pull a cable or wire to remove front one.

In most cases you would be dealing with a bad stator or voltage regulator. In the case of Suzuki I have found several instances of weak magnets on the flywheel were causing slow discharge of the battery. If you are not running any accessories with memory (radio, clock, etc.), you have replaced your voltage regulator, load tested your battery, and tested your stator for grounding, you may be dealing with a weak magnet in your flywheel. If everything is checking out OK then try replacing your flywheel.

Your starter button is good. The starter spins when you bench test it. Take a piece of metal/wire and jump the solenoid terminals or just touch the battery cable to the starter cable together , if the starter works you need a new stater solenoid. If the starter is turning over but the engine is not, you need a new starter one way clutch and the gear it grabs inside the motor.

Hi
1st check the headlamp fuse
2nd check the bulbs
3rd check continuity across the hi / low beam switch & for power into it
I could go on & on but hopefully the above will be enough to diagnose the problem
If you need more help I will need more information.
I am available on 'Live Chat' at the moment

Check for a loose or poorly connected lead from the loom exiting crankcase. There should be 7-9 wires. one of these feeds from the secondary source coil (hi revs). If all connections are 100% ignition coils secondary windings maybe shot. Ignition coil is cheap to replace. The CDI unit or black box is rarely at fault, hence the exhorbitant cost. Assuming plugs/fuel is good. Cheers.

check for crushed breathers. check air filter. clean if sponge type. replace if paper type.

This is a 1999 SV650, right? The brakes are hydraulic. The cable, is it on the left hand? This is a clutch cable. i suppose that makes no difference in the installation, though, so here goes:
There is a bolt with a nut on the bottom of it in the middle of the pivot for the lever. Loosen and remove this bolt and nut and slide or pivot out the old lever. Turning the lever towards the front of the bike, you will be able to release the cable. Using this same technique in reverse, install the new lever and you are all set to ride!
If the lever is on the right, it IS the brake lever and its installation is super-easy. No cable to deal with, just the bolt and nut and you are done.

Have fun, be safe,
matt

BAD BATTERY CABLES NOT GROUNDED BAD CONNECTION

You need 3 things for an engine to run; spark, fuel and compression. How is the compression? Is the spark plug new? If the plug is old, it could give a nice spark when you check it but have no spark under compression. Make sure the fuel you're using is fresh. If you give it a small shot of starting fluid and it fires up, your fuel delivery is suspect. In that case, you will need to remove the carb an THOROUGHLY clean it paying close attention to jets and passages. I always give people this warning: when cleaning jets and passages, NEVER use steel instruments. Use wood, copper wire or other materials that are softer than the material you're working on or you run the risk of ruining jets or even the entire carburetor.

check the clutch cable if its working... dismantle the body engine cover where the edge is connected,check if it is working...

Improper timings makes backfire check the timings.

Hi, use your key to open the side panel. You have to unscrew both battery posts in place, then slide the battery out. Don't loose the nuts that the battery screws screw into. Once the battery is charged, you need to put the nuts in place inside the terminals and carefully slide the battery in without disturbing the nuts. Then the screws will go into the nuts for tightening. Always loosen the negative cable first and replace it last to minimize the chance of shorting the positive to ground when attaching the positive cable. Please let me know if you have more questions. I have one of these and I have the manual for it.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Yes it may but as a first course of action I strongly suggest that you replace the fuel filter. It can be clogged causing fuel supply irregularities. If it still doesn't help then replace the fuel pump and you'll be good.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

r u gitten gas from the tank fawcett? is pump hooked up rite and producing pressure--carb or injectors may need ajustin--buy a clymer manual

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

A broken timing chain is the most likely cause, the piston is hitting an open valve, or you have a dropped valve or a stuck valve. Another possibility is something jamming behind behind the side covers.The key would be how you discovered this? Driving along at 105 and the engine stopped, or ???https://www.google.com/search?q=2009+suzuki+boulevard+timing+chain+or+timing+belt....

You can't, the computerized system is in place to stop exactly what you are trying to do, Steal the bike without the correct credentials. You can't reprogram or over-ride the computer. You need a bike electrician.
