Having trouble with an 04 RSVR, can anyone out there shed any light please :thumbup

Every ride out so far, start up ride out, all great, until I stop, then nothing but click click click on start up. :dunno Mr AA helped me get home last night and he recons it the altenator or regulator :dunno

Where is the altenator and where will I find the bay boy :confused and how do I go about checking/testing it :thumbup

Know where the regulator is, but sounds more like the altenator/charging problem, please help peeps :thumbup

Hope ur day was better than mine :doh

:lol you day was better then mine

you can check the alternator at the battery just bridge it with a multimeter, check the voltage start it up check it again then with it running turn your main beam on and check it again, if alternator is ok should be reading about 14v ish. As for where it is i think the call it a generator and it is built in to the flywheel/spragclutch area:thumbup

Click, click, click sounds like the starter solenoid to me. See a thread earlier on how to test it. Very easy to teast and fix. If it is, fit a yamaha solenoid, half the price and a straight swap. Yam pt/no is 4KD819400000. priced approx £28.00!!!

Click click is battery, charging problem......check the brown connectors between the stator and alternator.... scroll to bottom of page http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91943&highlight=brown+connectors

First connector is between the V of the engine, this can melt due to high reistance on the terminals and cause the stator to burn out (no battery charging) if not caught early

FIX is to cut off connector and solder wire together

2nd connector is just below the regulator under the right side fairing panel, you can do the same fix to this connector to

OR its just a fooked battery

You may also want to check the battery itself. If it has a bad cell it won't properly take or hold a charge. Because of the draw during your run it will be too weak to "re-start" later.

Good luck!:thumbup

Badger · Apr 4, 2008

Sounds to me like a battery that has seen better days,a dodgy cell maybe, can you stick someone else's battery in to try it

fusebox · Apr 4, 2008

if the aa bloke says its not charging dude then sounds like theres the place to start fella! if nothing else them boys know how to use a multimetre ....... its drummed into from basic training!!!
Gimme a call if i can help dude!

I was reading this thread earlier and I decided to go for a spin on me bike and loe and behold the exact same thing happened to me when I stopped,tried to restart the bike and I got a slight turn of motor and then click and eventually click click click...I hooked up some jump leads and it started right away and got me home,tryed to start it when I got home and click click click again out of the solenoid in the tail section,I'm a bit worried now because even after a short run a fooked battery should charge even slightly,hope its not the start of stator problems...the readout on the dash was reading 10.3 volts,should it not be higher?

Need a new battery by the sounds of things, they shouldn't drop below 12v as a standard rule for any battery whether it be car, bike it can damage the chemical memory of the cells causing the cells to fail creating a crap battery not what you need with a rsv or any big v twin:thumbup

millersvr69 · Apr 4, 2008

Cheers guy's for all the input, all firmly taken on board, and plenty to go on with, will keep you posted of the out come fella's

Good luck with yours rusty

millersvr69 · Apr 7, 2008

Battery seems okay, reading 12.86volts, and bike starts ok, when wind up to 4000 revs, no change on the voltage reading, so must be charging fault, but not sure if its the altenator/stator or rectifier but not sure how to check which one it is :confused

Checked the wiring and connector plugs and all intact and nothing melted :thumbup

Anyone got a spare rectifier so I can eliminate that, before having to strip the altenator/stator :dunno

rusty · Apr 15, 2008

Any luck with your bikes charging problem buddy?I checked my battery with a multimeter today and it has no change in volts when you start the engine,I'm wondering where to go from here,are there any other tests I can do to eliminate the rectifier?

ozz · Apr 15, 2008

i don't think it's the rectifier as its only job is to change the voltage from an
alternating current to a dc current,and if the voltage increases with the revs it is not the alternator, if it was my bike i would start with the battery and go from there.

just my 2p worth.

Rusty, it was the altenator/stator plate :jack in the end, all sorted now though :thumbup

If you PM me I'll tell ya how to check it all out mate :biggrin Got the parts cheaper than Aprilia too :devious

Aprilia wanted over a grand plus VAT

jack and I got them from Mark at time machine bikes for 130 quid :doug
