Bike Problems

[98ex2286]

i know this is a civic forum but u guys r pretty smart so i figured i would see if any one can awnser this one...

having some problems with one of the sv's me and my pops own. my dad took it to a track down in SC a few days ago and said whenever he came out of a turn and got on it the bike would lag then all of a suddend pick up n go. been having this problem with this bike for a lil while. we got it checked out at a local shop (washington cycle), they dynoed it and everything checked out fine. everything checks out fine but the bike still acts up. it only happens when yur coming hard out of a corner so we think it has somthing to do when the bike is leaned over. idk how many of u have expernces with motercycles., but i thought it couldnt hurt to ask....

well.. the first step in diagnosing a problem is to know what you did to the bike before it started acting up. My experience with cars tells me that everything works fine until i start messing with shit. *just so you know i have no experience with ATVs, bikes, boats, or hot air balloons

what kinda lag? like a has the power but wont go anywhere tranny lag? or like a gas pickup failing on a hard turn? is it the same right hand turn or left hand turn or any turn?

[98ex2286]

right and left hand turns and the lag is when u twist the throttle it just dosnt wanna pick up then all of a suddend it does n ur gone... but when the bike is going straight its fine.

sounds like a fuel pick up problem to me.. does it happen every time or when the gas is low? Have you check the fuel system?

don't have much experience with bikes, but from what it sounds like,

[98ex2286]

checked the fuel system the carbs r fine the jets are not cloged, the pump is fine. and it happens when the bike is lown and full on gass. it ran on mainly race gas 104 octane and regualr premium pump gas.

we r now thinking about peicing it out for parts keeping the one sv n picking up a cbr 600 n racing that, but if any one can figure ne thing we can do help will be very much apperciated....

I had a friend with a Ninja that did something similar to that, we rebuilt the carburator and that fixed it. Don't listen to me though I've never even owned a bike.

it has almost brand new carbs in it tho. my dad has tried everything he said. we have taken it to the shop they saidthey cant find any problems. hmmm.......
