Hello all, new RSVR owner here. Second Aprilia.
2004 Aprilia RSV1000R
4500 Miles
Akrapovic race cans
PC3 installed
Brown wire mod completed.
Bike starts and idles just fine. Warms up and everything is great. I test drive it down my street and back and it has all the power expected of it, no hiccups or sputtering. I take the bike for a longer test ride and after a few miles it starts to sputter while riding, and sometimes completely dying while riding. Once the problem starts it doesn't go away. Every gear, every speed. I say every speed even though it doesn't give me the chance to get up going fast because of the jerky spitting and sputtering.
I have changed the map on the bike via PC3, I did the longer test ride, seems like I got further this time around. But it still ended up sputtering. Very embarrassing on a sexy bike.
I have checked:
All ground
All wire looms for shorts/ bare wires
Changed the spark plugs
Verified the air filter is clean, oiled, and seated properly <weird air-box with no cover/I guess the gas tank is the cover
I have added ground wires the frame and to the engine for whatever reason
Using the PC3 I reset the TPS to 0-100, was maxing out at 83
Test drove it again, got much further, alas, its fixed, on the way back..... she starts acting up again.
Things I believe I may need to check:
Fuel pressure- Dont have a pressure gauge
Injectors- Dont have a noid light
Fuel filter- I will remove and visually inspect/ havent done this yet
I did want to mention that the air intake door appeared to not be opening. I wedged the door open and disconnected the hose to the control valve for the door. The bike went further when I did this but still ended up having the spitting and sputtering.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP
