issues

'99 Mille has developed a rather special issue. Not every time, but a lot of the time, when I try to use the horn it blows the fuse! Now, I'm not one to use it much in anger, so it doesn't bother me a great deal, but she's in for MOT on Saturday, and sods law it'll choose then to blow! Any...

After spending an afternoon giving the newest addition to my family a well deserved scrubb down I now have no lights :-( the light switch was working fine the day before and after lifting the tank and scrubbing down the engine and makin it look all nice and pretty I get nothing when operating...

Daft enough to run out of fuel now 04 factory wont start even with a fresh tank of fuel.Turns over fine but no signs of firing.Any tips where to start?

Hi guys Im having issues with starting my bike, ive searched the forum and cant find anything that matches my issues. the senario is i had a crash about 9 months back, the bike hasnt been started since, its had a new subframe and fairing (fitted by me) none of the lights are fitted at the...

Hi guys need some advise ASAP, had a fairly quick low side the other day on the RSV into some barriers. Im thinking of claiming except i havent declared a few things the bike is now white instead of black the front tyre is fairly low Will them two issues cause them not to pay out? thanks...

Hey guys, Really need some help on this one! I've recently had to strip down the poor girl and ii'm currently in the process of fitting her all back together. I've just re-done all my valve clearances and now i'm onto the issue of timing. One problem is, i don't have the timing tools for...

Hello All, I have an '02 RSV. I decided to move to a slipper clutch. (Yoyodyne) I had to remove the clutch nut that holds the clutch hub, which was a good time. I only mention this because I had to try a couple methods. (1) put the transmission in 6th gear, stomp on the rear brake and pull...

Hi All I have a 2005 Gen 1 Tuono which I have recently brought. It has a new chain and sprocket set with 42t rear and a 16t front. From what I have read this isn't standard (or is it?) Which way would you suggest I should go with the gearing from here? Also I have read here and there about...

i recently fitted an aftermarket clutch lever to my 02 rsvr, i thought all was well but after about 5 minutes riding the clutch was slipping in every gear until quickly i was unable to get enough drive to pull away. i have not had a hint of slip prior to this. i think the problem may have been...

Right, talk to me, been out with TuonoTone today and took his Factory out for a blast (so much more planted) but my R version just gives no feedback or feel from the front end, just have no confidence in it and feels like its ready to wash out at any moment. :no Have had 3 or 4 front end...

Ok guys, there is plenty of help on the forum to resolve the "brown connector" issue. But can anyone provide the correct voltage/charging readings at from the rectifier at tick over, 1000, 2000, 3000 rpm? My problem is that when reving, the voltage drops. At tick over fluke readings at the...

anyone got an adjustable front brake lever for sale or can you recommend a lever suitable for girly little hands!? can barely get them round the lever!

Right I've worked out that my clutch issues are somehow related to the vaccum slipper. When it's on full chat the lever goes limp till about half way in as though something else is actuating the clutch. This is the only time I experience clutch slip any other time the clutch will bite hard and...

Hi All, Looking for some input on a possible aquisition. I have my eye on an '08 but I'm new to the bike. Wondering if there are any issues I should look out for aside from the obvious when buying used. Bike has 5400 miles and is clean and mint...looking from pics that is. Tires look like track...

Hi! I’m new to the forum and the RSV world but i like it so far! Anyway I am having starting and alarm issues. I am going to get a new battery as I think this is why its not starting (the motor does turn but i dint think its fast enough). Anyway I think the alarm has 'spiked/immobilised' when...

Hi Guys!!! Newbie on the site. Bought a 05 Tuono R a few months back. 3rd owner. I had no issues and then suddenly bike wouldn't start. Not dead battery...My pals came over and we isolated the issues (think) -- starter relay. It had fried the plastic boots to the heads. Took it out and started...

This is a 2 part question. I currently have a number of real Aprilia carbon pieces on my bike. All of the pieces are completely stained with what look like hard water spots and are incredibly dull. I admit that I ride it in the rain but that doesn't seem like it should be cause this to this...

My '99 RSV is currently refusing to fire. I daresay a service is overdue, and I'll get round to it when the temperature rises above freezing. But what worries me is I only get two stabs at starting it before the battery is totally fooked and the bike won't turn over. The last time I had the...

How do lads and lasses. Been working abroad for the past few months and finally now have the chance to be with my pride and joy. However i have started to find some issues that need addressing. The most annoying one being the crappy neutral. I have heard about a replacement jet that is supposed...
