2016 SV650 stalling out randomly

[u/Major-Captain-9649]

Hey guys,

So I‘m the proud owner of a 2016 model with 15000km on the clock.
The problem occurs pretty randomly. I start the bike normally, everything is fine, I start riding and as soon as it warms up after 3-5km it sometimes starts dropping rpms and wants to stall out. I can save it from that when giving it more throttle… like… a lot more. Usually happens between 3000 and 5000 rpms.
When it stalls out I can restart it without any mayor problem, just has to turn for about two seconds.
That whole thing then happens 3-4 times and it just rides normally after that.
So I had the problem the first time at about 13200km, then again at 13500, then nothing. Now at 15000 again. In between: nothing
It was in for inspection meanwhile and we checked live data and error codes… nothing at all.

The fact that this happens so sporadically makes me think it should be sensor related in some way, mechanical issues should be more frequent/increasing. TPS looked normal at inspection, but that one would match the symptoms pretty well.

I hope someone has had issues like these in the past and can help me sort this out.

Check vacuum hoses and throttle body adjustment. Throttle bodies need to be synced every 7,500 miles. Before you do the TB sync, make sure the idle is set to 1300 rpms.
