Check ignition coils, wires, etc.
If your coils have even a slight crack in them from age or anything the can arc out instead of down the wires to the plugs and cause a little bit of miss.

So my bike has been sitting for 1 week unused and in my garage which is left open twice a week for the garbage and it has been raining and humid lately.
Decided to take it out today because its beautiful out and I miss riding what with work and school eating all of my free time, I mean ALL.
I didn't let it warm up which shouldn't be a big deal with it being FI and all but anyway the problem:
It kept cutting out when it idled. Not every time but it was sputter and die happened about 5 times to and from where I was going. If I hit the gas a little it doesn't die but as I'm coming to a stop shifting to neutral it may or may not happen. I think maybe their was some water in the tank from condensation but the tank was mostly full. I wish I could do a fuel sump like I do when I fly
I put some fuel Stabil into the tank and let it run for 5 minutes as recommended on the bottle but to no avail, I'm gone from tomorrow to Sunday so I won't get another chance to test it out but anyone have any ideas?
I don't have tools to work on my bike and rip it apart nor do I have the knowledge so if its more then a little water it's gonna need to go to the shop and money is super tight what with me working for the first time in 4 months.
Bike is an 06 sv1ks for those that haven't seen any of my previous posts where I recommend this bike to anyone who will listen![]()
I tell them to tackle the concrete at walking speeds and re-think their position.
