Hi Guys
I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping for some advice.
I suffered a dash reset on my Mille when starting it the other day and now I get nothing than a awful clicking from starter solenoid and relay and constant flickering of dash on pressing the start button. I have tried bridging the terminals on the starter solenoid which does nothing but turn the dash off. Is this the starter solenoid having failed or the battery? The battery is just over 12 months old and kept on a optimate. Any advice greatly appreciated. As far as I'm aware the bike is on the original starter solenoid but no markings on it to say other.
Kind regards
Scott

Your battery's shagged mate, you could try cleaning all the terminals & earth strap points but I expect you will need a new battery, these bikes knock the guts out of them in no time. These are the best ones available at the moment

And you might aswell change your solenoid if you are unsure, this is the one

Cheers its the Yuasa 14 thats on it and the multimeter says its good loaded and unloaded, i have put a test across the starter solenoid and thats 13.6v but once starter is pressed it still carries 6v and from i have read in the starting sticky on here it should be way lower than that more like 0. something.
Thank you for the advice and any help greatly appreciated

I'm also new to the forum but can backup what has already been said. I had the same problem with mine, also an 02 model. I replaced the battery, although not the solenoid and its been fine so far.

Get a 14 amp battery 150 amp starter solenoid, extra earth strap and solder the yellow wires. I did these plus had it set up at windy corner sound as a pound :grinning:grinning

maybe the same problem?

Hey guys!!

i have an 01, i have the same problems. i thought it was the starter, but i took it out tested by connecting directly to the battery on the bike. works perfect.

then i put the starter back in, and just the solenoid clicking. i tried connecting the starter via the solenoid (starter cable) to see if it spun the starter like this? but the starter wouldn't turn like this. then i connected the starter direct to the battery again and success again with the motor.

the battery is less than 4 months old? is it the battery for sure or something else??

thanks

Paul

In my experience, battery & solenoid are your first concerns, do these and 9 times out of 10 you'll sort it.
Also sort the charging system out by cutting out the brown connector & soldering wires, an extra earth strap won't hurt either.

the battery and solenoid are just a case of swapping original parts out here is a walk through of the brown connector mod http://apriliarsv.com/guides/5114-rsv-voltage-regulator-wiring-modification.html

i don't know if it's cheaper in the UK (in romania it certainly is) but a car solenoid is WAY better. 300+ amps a dacia/renault one in romania costs about 10 pounds...
