hot

I have an 02 RSV with about 17000 miles. I bought the bike a couple months ago, and it test rode great, but the next time I rode it, it shut down almost like it hit fuel cut, when I was trying to get into the throttle. It wouldn't restart after stalling, so I walked home, got my truck and came...

Hi, I know this has been covered to death already, but humour me anyway please :) I've owned the bike a week now, Already fitted a secondary earth from the battery to subframe, I tried to restart 30 seconds after shutting off today and it was still a VERY slow crank/Dash light weakened...

Took the new V4 out today. Quick lunchtime run to Ardgour, 14 miles. Had a drink, went to start the bike and it wouldn't start. I'd read about the hot start problems, so immediately assumed it was that. Left it for 15 mins, still wouldn't start. Had to get a jump start. Rode it back, stopped it...

Hi All Anyone had the "Hot Start" issue with their bikes. It started about 4 weeks back up Newcastle, stopped for fuel on a hot day, paid for fuel, got back on the bike, hit the starter and slow crank like battery was flat, leave a couple of minutes and tried again and it started. Thought...

Hi all I have a Tuono V4 ARPC, I'm over the moon with it but when it's over 60° it won't start until the temp goes down, so if my running in town it might go to 90°.... stop for petrol, go to start it up and it sounds like the battery is dead and it won't turn over, so I'd be stuck there for...

Hi folks, I've had my bike for 7 years and have never noticed this purely because I am not in a habit of touching my frame when returning from a ride. The other day after riding hard in the hot weather I got home and there was a lot of heat coming from the bike as I wheeled her into the...

Just like the title says. My 40 jet is ordered, and I'm just wondering if I should change it with the engine hot, cold, or doesn't matter. I'm guessing cold, but just to be on the safe side.... Thx

I have a 2013 Tuono V4 with radiator guards and its running hot. Most of the time it is above 200 degrees while sometimes it dips down into the 190s. Can the radiator guards be causing this to run hot? Jay

Hi All, I expect along with almost all of you I have always done my oil changes after thoughly warming the engine first. However i read a magazine artical last week and it advised to do oil changes cold! The reasons behind this were: Modern semi and fully synthetic oils do not thin to the...

hi guys i've had my 2000 Mille for just over 1 year now and love it. thanks to the information and guides on here i've done the wiring mods (yellow wires and also the brown connector). on the last few rides, however, i have noticed a slight 'pause' on pressing the start button if the engine is...

Hi guys its been a long time since my last visit but nice to be back. Ok here is my issue ........ Firstly im crap at mechanics and repairing bikes :confused Im assuming the starter solenoid is under my 03 RSV seat and is square'ish and has two terminals? well anyway this part is getting that...

Hi, Returned from a short ride yesterday and shortly after returning home I happened to put my hand on the reservoir of the ohlins rear shock. While it was not hot enough to take skin off it was very hot. Three questions popped into my head. 1: Is this Normal? 2: Is It just heat carried over...

Hi all, I have a 2004 rsv and love it. I went out on it at the weekend and on my way home the bike started run on 1 cylinder. I serviced it the night before without any problems. Is there anything I need to look out for fault wise? I assume its either a faulty plug lead or cap but thought I'd...

Hi everybody, I am due to go on holiday to tour Scotland this Sunday, but cannot get to grips with my Gen II (2007)Tuono. When it is cold it runs sweet, however when it will warm up to over 80 degrees, it starts cutting out, dies especially under acceleration. I can hear misfire some times...

Just wondering - whats your opinion on part worn tyres. I must admit I have used these for all bikes & cars (even my push bike). Not all the time - occasionally I do stick new ones on. I even put one on the back of my T last year (after I got a puncture) just before I went to Assen - I...

I have a 2009 RSV1000R, and it has developed what seems like a misfire above 6,000rpm, but this only happens when it's hot and done several miles (50 or so continuous, sometimes more). If I stop for a break, it will fix the problem for a little while before it starts playing-up again. Any...

Went out yesterday on a 60 mile run on my 06 RSVR. Worked the bike hard (ish) and then spent time in traffic. Engine running at 98 degrees celsius. Stopped for ten mins, engine off and then when I went to restart, it wouldn't even attempt to turn over. Pushed the start button and literally...

Hey folks. Last few rides I've had on the T have noticed when I pull up to lights or junctions I can't select neutral or even snick down to first and stop with the clutch engaged to pull away. Only seems to happen when the bikes hot. I've noticed the clutch lever almost comes back to the bar...

RSV 1000. Here we go. Pissed off at the petrol station, pissed off when my mates knock the kill switch off for a joke. Pissed off with trying to bump start the ****** without the aid of a Rugby team. Anyway, just bought this off my very good friend who dropped it at low speed (I felt sorry...

Pointless thread. Just looking out my window at the bare trees, imagining I`m on a hot track, tarmac melting, massive grip, dragging everything, stupid lean, the sort where you swear your arse is about to scuff on the floor, clear blue from horizon to horizon, chasing down the next guy in front...
