idle

The bike has had a consistant idle and was a pleasure at stop lights. yesterday the idle falters after a while and then the engine cuts. I have checked for faults on diagnostic and all is clear. I find not leaks on the vacuum piping and bike starts well. The battery charges at 12,5V. the bike...

Hello, looking for a revision kit, idle gear, double gear. My sprag and other components need to be replaced. Any ideas? AF1 Racing says the gears have been abolished. I can probably find the revision kit for the starter but from Europe. Thanks, Alibi

Hi one and all, Recently picked up an 02 RSV-R. I'm so pleased I have it as I've always wanted one. I was just hoping for some useful advice/tips as to how to get my bike tip top and keep it that way! Any common gremlins or useful maintenance tips would be greatly appreciated! Mine hasn't been...

I own a 2008 RSVR and have had this problem for about a year now. When idling it backfires from the airbox and drops a few RPMs. If I give it a little throttle in neutral it will intermittently backfire and shut off. (Loud clank and engine shuts off) When riding, starting to move from a stop, it...

Hello, I had hoped my first post wouldn't be trouble related but unfortunately my just purchased RSV won't idle below 2,000 rpm. I just picked the bike up yesterday and it stalled out as I was leaving the shop where I bought it. I started it again, rode a few feet, and it was sputtering and...

Hi all I have a lovely 2000 rsv but it's not been well recently. It wouldn't start recently and after looking at the plugs changed them. Now it starts but idles Lumpy. Gap is 0. 64mm. I can disconnect both coils on the left and it makes no difference to idle at all! If the left bank are attached...

Evening all, Hope someone can help with the following. 2007 rsv factory 9k miles. After a year laid idle I stuck some new plugs and drained the fuel in the bike, all was well for about 10 miles until I lost almost all power. Bike sounded very rough so I took it home and realised the front...

Hi everyone, First post and I'm starting with a problem, will get on to more positive things later. Just purchased an 05 gen 1, the idle control doesn't work. The guy I brought it off told me he thinks he snapped the cable it one day and he hasn't bothered with it since, he just holds the...

2004/5 Tuono Fighter Hi, could someone tell me the difference (if any) between a fast idle lever, and a choke? If the lever on my bike is a fast-idle, does my bike also have an automatic choke? Sorry for my ignorance :) Paul

Hi GuyGuys. My 2005 Tuono has a strange intermittent fault. When the bike is cold it starts fine and idles fine with the choke on, one it reaches temp and the choke is off, all is good, I go ride the bike and then when I come to a stop and have the bike in neutral it idles like its firing on...

Hi all, Wondered if anyone knew how the adjust the idle speed on 2004 rsv 1000 r as it's seems to drop very low after a minute or so of riding and occasionally cuts out

Hi every1, couple of questions. Can any1 tell me what the idle speed is please? May need to adjust idel speed. And does anyone have or know of a headlight for a 2001 mille? I bought one off a 2000 plate on ebay but it doesn't fit. Thanks a lot.

Can anyone help? Occasionally the bikes stalls at lights etc (tickover), I think it needs just a little extra tickover (currently sitting at just over 1k rpm). Can anyone tell me if there is an idle screw and where it might be? :dunno

Hi all, New Aprilia owner here with probably a schoolboy question. So at the risk of sounding completely stupid. Where is the choke/fast idle switch/lever? The only place I can see where one might be fitted is on the lhs switchgear, but I have a blanking plate on there. Am I missing something...

Guys, I've recently put some mivv GP style zorts (replacing my longer arrows) on and replaced the old air filter with a k&n But on idle things seem a little rough now, on cold start up it runs great but when the choke switches off it tends to creep up and down a little, Is it possible to...

The gentleman I'm buying my bike from says the bike has a rev limiter that engages when the motor is cold. Is this true?

Hi I'm having problems with my Tuono in regard to tick over. For no reason when the bike is started it won't idle on its own. The engine can be kept running with the throtle but release it and the bike stalls. The problem may not happen for weeks and normally disappears after a ride and the...

recently renewed stator charging fine has done a couple hundred km is know running fine until stop & idle when fuse D blows renew fuse fine until stop & idle any suggestion to cause of problem. 2007 tuono with 57000km travelled

Hi all, new on here though I often read the posts.... can one of you please help ??!! I have an 06 RSV, stator fried on 21k so I fitted a new one. Then the dreaded clicking sound , so a new starter relay and battery to make sure. Took it for an mot, noticed a little oil from the gasket I'd...
