It is my birthday today (happy birthday to me) and I had a rather nasty surprise.
My RSV-R wouldn't start. It turns over fine and the battery has been charged (and replaced last week). Every time I press the ignition button, the engine turns over, but the fuel pump primer comes on (as if I was turning the key), you can hear the noise it makes. There is also a click (although that seems to me to be the solenoid working as normal.. or not?). Does the solenoid need changing? Is there a wire which has been dislodged? I don't think the cylinders have been flooded, as i've been careful not to start for too long.
Bike history: I got it in November, It's done 24k miles, I've recently replaced the speedo sensor as it died, replaced the battery last week and I rode it yesterday without any problems and today I cleaned it with a hose and warm water.
It's not the tilt sensor either as that is fine.
Please help!
