Thanks guys,

Our SV at TWS was ridiculously slow down the straight and honostly it was like you couldn't get it to hit redline in any gears. I've ridden another SV on the street once and it was significantly more powerful. Our SV, if you dump the clutch in first, it won't even pull the front wheel off the ground.

We could enter corners and then open the throttle wide open and go all the way thru the corner like that. I bet the thing was only making around 30-40 hp at best.

We've checked the plugs and they look good but plugs are hard to read on pump gas no matter how new. We've gone thru the carbs and everything seems ok, and they seem to be sinked well. I'll check compression tomorrow, but I would think there would be oil consumption and smoke if they were that far gone. The bike has apx 8k street miles and everything sounds nice and tight and smooth as far as the valvetrain and bottom end goes.

Is there something in the ignition timing that can get screwed up and cause lack of power? What's the ignition timing supposed to be set at, and at what RPM is that at?

We've been thru most of the easy stuff and need info on other problems, like the ignition timing or cam timing.

Thanks
