Dynotopia

Well, after some harassment from Alex, complaining that I'd added nothing to the blog, here I am.
Booked the SV into J K Tuning last weekend for 1030am on the Saturday, however, Lady Luck had other plans! Used Rob's (stepdad) van to take the bike but half way to Lincoln it decided to throw off the fan belt. After finding an Iveco dealer in Lincoln, we got to J K about 1130am.
Anyway, after scratching my newly painted fairings we got the bike on the dyno. Guess what? The battery had decided to give up the ghost, so the bike wouldn't start. By this time I'm ready to go home!
John ( J K ) managed to use the dyno to bump start the bike but unfortunately with no juice in the battery, it couldn't give accurate readings. The general consensus by this time was to leave the bike with J K, get a new battery and come back the following weekend.
John, in the meantime had charged the existing battery during the week and given the bike a couple of runs. The results were, 71.2bhp and 45.4lb/ft of torque but the SV was running a bit rich. After trying a few other things we couldn't remedy this, as the bike believed it was running colder than it actually was.
With our heads in our hands, we brought the bloody thing home! After another strip down and a test light put to everything remotely electrical, Rob noticed a pipe off one of the airbox sensors. It's always something bloody simple! New battery fitted, it's onwards to mallory on friday for some testing. Still got some gremlins to iron out but hopefully we're nearly there.
Thanks to John at J K and Rob for their patience and time, if it wasn't for them I'd have attacked the SV with an angle grinder!!
