The 02 SV650s which is carbed had a lot of pop in the low end. A Lot which is where a lot of people get into trouble. The 2008 SV650s which is FI wasn't anywhere near as bad. I'm guessing it's the carbes loading up with fuel or something but the 02 ones had a lot of pop in the bottom and I've had many people confirm this.
