hi all..
been a long time since i was on here - still have my rsv mille - had a few issues over winter - the old spag clutch went, but thanks to old griff at aprilia performance for the parts- this was sorted and replaced in brighton by my machanics. .
now my issues are charging/battery based.. - i have been through at least 3-4 solenoids in the last 6 months they all burn out due to low power on the battery (im guessing).. my thoughts were dodgy battery innitially - but i have been through 2 of these now also - i now run the upgraded ytx14bs..
after all this - i now think my issue is alternator based - ie - not charging battery properly - this then runs low - and struggles to turn over the engine more than once in the cold weather - if it doesnt start on that first hit - the battery runs low - and burns out the solenoid.. and all i get is clicking..
does this sound correct - could my issue be simpler than the alternator ie - grounding??
if i hit v batt while revving - i get a reading of 11.4 ish volts - which sounds low to me..
let me know your thoughts - as im sick of buying solenoids..
thanks nick
