Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The green connector on the suzuki sv1000s motorcycle burned out, causing the motorcycle engine to die completely on a high traffic street. prior to the complete failure of the connector the motorcycle would intermittently die for a few seconds, and either resume normally if in transit or die if it was stationary. when the engine died all electrical functions ceased even if the key was in access mode. turning the key several times from off to access would resume the electrical functions. after finding a bulletin board thread on the motorcycle's symptoms, this lead me to the green connector"failure. i disassembled the motorcycle and located the connector. sure enough, the connector was fried . removed the damaged connector and replaced them with spade terminals. so far, the motorcycle worked fine.*ak check this url for more information and photos. my posts are towards the bottom under the name "rxsx": http://www.sv-portal.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20730&page=17
