Hi,
I'm new on here and sorry for only joining when I want something, I just didnt know this forum actually existed until I did google search!
I'm having issues with my bike (03 RSV). Replaced the battery as it wasnt firing up and only reading 11.8v on the dash, I spoke to my local Aprilia dealer who said jump it off the car with the ignition off to get it started, in the hope of giving the new battery a kick up the *** then ride it to get the battery charged off the bike. So, went to jump it (like I had to last weekend, which worked, then it ran sweet allday) and this time it wouldnt fire, then I had a loud click and now it wont even turn over.
So, the battery is on optimate (as it has been all week), and now it wont turn over but the fuel pump primes, quick search says the solenoid - is this right? If so, if I replace the solenoid tomorrow morning then it turns over but doesnt fire up again, any harm off jumping it off the car? Or is that what may have knackered it in the first place?
Its going into the garage monday morning, but i really really need it for tomorrow, is there any hope?
Thanks in advance!
Kayla
