Oil light on means little or no pressure. This can be because of a mechanical problem or fault/failure, or no oil, or wrong oil, or bad sensor. I recommend you trust the sensor until it is proven faulty. It is telling you there is a serious problem with the lubrication system . If you ignore this problem, you will probably ruin your engine and probably the transmission also as both share common oil.

SOURCE: back fire on suzuki sv650s

you have to tune your engine using the following ways.
1. tune your fuel air screw for optimal settings.(in most cases inappropriate tuning is the reason for backfires)
2. check and clean your spark plug and the wire connecting your spark plug.
3. check the voltage levels of the battery. if they are low then recharge them.

Either idle set to low or idle circuit is clogged in carb.

SOURCE: 1995 suzuki sepia 50cc 2stroke doesnt run

Two strokes are bad with fuel/oil mixure. If this is premix theres a problem,if injected you may not be getting oil injected. Topends will heat up fast without oil. Fouled plugs and the wrong gap will also cause these problems. Check carb boot for cracks as air leaks will also starvel fuel out. Spray WD40 into carb throat with out tank hooked up, if it fires up, clean carb and reset float. Make sure the spark gap is correct. Check to be sure you have not slipped a keyway on flywheel which would throw timing off and it will only start by accident once every so often.

SOURCE: cutting out at idle

the batery is ok if the engine start avery time. Also the volts are ok.
Have you made any modifications on it? Sport exhaust, sport air filter?
Check also the air filter. Make sure is clean...
Idle speed should be around 1000-1200 rpm. You should have a screw to fix the idle speed. Check it on the carburetors area, or download the manual from internet.

Cheers.

What is the fork oil capacity of a sv650 2002

This is Suzuki standard for a Pointy, sure someone will be along soon to say if Curvy is the same or not. Start at the standard air gap then see how it feels from there.

Front fork oil capacity (each leg) :
490 ml (16.56/17.25 US/Imp oz) for SV650
488 ml (16 .49/17.18 US/Imp oz) for SV650S

Fork oil level :
92 mm (3 .62 in) for SV650
94 mm (3.70 in) for SV650S

How do i check the oil because i just bought a 2009 suzuki bulevard but there dip stick? and the dealer ship didnt give me an owners manuel

On newer model bikes there is no dipstick, just a cap.
so to check the oil level, you need to look on the engine cover itself.
there will be a sight glass, with 2 hash marks on the case .
lower line is minimum, top line is maximun

If the sight glass is too dirty, warm up the bike and then change the oil and filter.
Then watch the sight glass as you fill the oil.

if bike is equipped with a center stand, always check oil on center stand.
if no center stand then check oil with bike on kickstand.

The sight glass will be either on the right side lower engine cover
or left side lower engine cover.
it it round and about the size of a quater.

Hope to be helpful.
best regards
Big al

79 gs550 - uh ohs in wiring...

When you reassembled the bike did you pinch any of the wiring harnesses? Trace the wiring through the bike and make sure everything has a solid connection between their respective power sources and activation switches. Alot of time bikes run wiring under the gas tanks so you need to make sure that you didnt cut anything when pputting it back on (if you removed the tank)

SV650S Alternative Engine Oil

Suzuki recommends the use of SUZUKI PERFORMANCE 4 MOTOR OIL or an oil which is rated SF or SG under the API (American Petroleum Institute) classification system. The viscosity rating should be SAE 10W-40. If an SAE 10W-40 oil is not available, select an alternative according to the information below: -4°F - 86°F: 10W-30 -4°F - 104°F+: 10W-40, 10W-50 6°F - 104°F+: 15W-40, 15W-50 14°F - 104°F+: 20W-50 Engine life depends on oil amount and quality. Daily oil level checks and periodic changes are two of the most important maintenance itmes to be performed.
