I was riding my SV650 when I got caught in a heavy downpour. I’d never ridden in rain this bad before but because I had my rain gear on and I was fairly close to my destination I decided to keep going. After about 10 minutes of stop-and-go traffic I started noticing that when I came to a complete stop the revs would dip dangerously low to the point of stalling out, so I upped the choke. It kept getting worse and worse over the course of only a few minutes of riding and then power started to drop and it wouldn’t accelerate past 4k RPM. The needle on the tach would go higher but it just wouldn’t give any more juice past that RPM. I pulled into shelter after it stalled out on me once and let it idle at 1/2 choke under cover and over the course of sitting there for about 15-10 minutes just letting it idle the problem fixed itself and it started running healthy again.
