Wont start!?

Help - 2004 RSV mille

Ignition key on, immobiliser de-activated, tilt switch in correct possition, kill switch in right position, good battery health - push the start and nothing!!!! No lul in the power of the lights or anything. Ive even shorted the starter over and it turms over fine. Just doesnt seem to be getting all the signals to fire up!!!!:rant:rant:rant

The side stand switch seems okay but i dont hear the fuel pump prime when ignition is first turned on like i used to........!? I am hearing suggestions of fuel pump relay but i swapped all the relays round the other day and it didnt seem to make any difference. The only other option that i can think of is the fuel pump is shot........?

Please, any other ideas would be welcomed with open arms!!!!!

Cheers

I had same thing mate it was the kill switch they do play up give it a try

Lees mate, I thought it wouldn't even turn over if the kill switch was playing up. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Shifter, have you rattled the tilt switch. A rattle is good!

I really, really, really don't want to teach you to suck the old egg as it were, but........................and speaking from experience, I could not get mine to turn over either, it was the alarm system that had gone into sleep mode due to lack of use over winter.

I had to disconnect the battery then re-connect after 10 minutes.......

NOW, if your steed don't have a "larm" then I apologise as it can't be that eh?irate

DATATOOL 3 BTW

Sorry mate yes you are right did not see the turn over bit

wont start

I had bought a new battery anyway and fitted it last night and guess what. Its started first time!!! I thought - sorted!! Rode on to charge the alarm battery for a good hour, down the M6, back up through congleton. Stopped at the garage (i did consider the rist of stopping to be worth while as my visor was filthy) came back after to start and dead again!!!!

Gutted.

Called the AA AGAIN................... About 10 minutes before his arrival having stood there like a *** for an hour it just decided to start again : ( i was fuming.

Same symptoms again though - everything working fine, just no fuel pump priming and not turning over........

Messed witht he kill switch, disconnected the battery for about 20 mins and re-connected. Nothing. I'm sure its the alarm now but a have spoken to a Meta engineer and he says its not. they either work or they dont work...

Anyone want to buy an RSV.....? £5 ONO :angry

Having said all that, the alarm STILL beaped 4 times when deactivated which apparently means low voltage in its internal battery. How can this be if i had ridden it for a good hard hour...?

Have you taken the kill switch apart and checked the connections :dunno

I have checked across it for continuity. Its seemed fine.

If it was the kill switch the fuel pump would still prime wouldnt it....? It just wouldnt turn over - or am i wrong there..?

Not sure mate, i was out with rsvr64 at the weekend and he started to have problems. Misfiring around 4000rpm then started cutting out. We got to were we were going and the bike cut out again and wouldn't restart. The fuel pump wouldn't prime but the engine would turn over :dunno checked fuses were ok and then mark took the ecu out to see if the chip had come loose while i phoned a few guys on here for any ideas. The bike started again while i was still on the phone :confused

Apparently the only things that stops the pump priming is either a fuse blown or the kill switch.

We had to stop again on the way home so he could fill up again after 62 miles from his last fill so somethings not quite right there :dunno

Mark was going to check it out when he got home but haven't heard if he found anything as yet :dunno

The last time i had an alarm back in 2000 it did similar things.

When i took it apart it had water ingress that had corroded the batt and the circuit board so it constantly said low charge.

It went in the bin - Problem solved

Thaty alarm was professionally fitted but a turd is still a turd no matter how you mount it. :biggrin

Alarms i hate the ba***ds :rant, Never had one since, i'd rather pay 10k on my insurance premium, well almost.

Spoonz do you think the alarm could have caused rsvr64's problem too :dunno and what about the overfueling issue :dunno his TB's & CO2 were set-up by Griff in April but it has been ok until the last week.

It's quoted in my last post :biggrin

It's poss but no fuel pump could be the pump itself or a dodgy connection.

A shorting speedo sensor on the rear wheel can affect pump power also. They share the same 15a fuse source.
