I'm having electrical issues with my 07 sv650s. It started a few months back and only happened twice. I'd come to a stop at a light, hold the clutch in until the light was green and as soon as I'd let the clutch out and give it a little gas the bike would die. No electrical power what so ever. Then about 10-15 minutes of fiddling with perfectly good fuses the bike would regain electrical power (lights, fuel pump etc) and it'd be fine. It was never particularly hot either time.
This morning I went to fire it up and as soon as I turned the key on I had electrical power for a split second then nothing. Had to hop in the car and hustle to work.
Since I've gotten home I've been running through the bike checking voltage and continuity across all the basic circuits (starter relay, ignition switch, battery, grounding points, the 'green connector') and can't seem to find any clear issue. And as I sit here typing this in front of the bike with the ignition on it mocks me by regaining electrical power. This time when I went to push the start button in I heard a snap and now I'm back where I started. I could not tell if it was from the battery area (by the starter relay) or the tail (fuse block and other thingy).
Something I'm not clear about is the starter. If I jump the connections on the starter relay should I be able to spin it? I'm getting nothing here. And when I check continuity between the starter cable and the ground I get ZERO which would indicate to me that the starter is grounding out. But should that affect the ignition (lights, speedo, etc)?
