Hi everyone, have just purchased an RSV1000 mille reg2000. Looks awesome, but needs a bit of sorting. I knew it had some problems with the electrics and am hoping it won't take too much to sort out... a) the speedo and rev counter don't seem to operate right - when running registers 0 revs...

Yet another bod who had trouble starting this morning. Bike is always hooked up to the Optimate but didn't wanted to turn over very fast this morning. Rather than knackering the sprag I took a quick trip to the battery shop for a Varta YTX-14BS and she started straight away :devious. Had a...

Hi guys, Last Saturday I took the bike to a garage to repack the exhaust and also to check why I was having problems with cold starts, the dash was resetting very often as well. It turned out that the fast idle had come loose so they adjusted it and changed the battery. No more problems with...

Hi all, I have recently brought a 2001 RSV mille R and have been loving it! unfortunatley it has developed a starting problem. I have used the search function and i think i have it down to the starter relay! I have a few questions though, I managed to start the bike tonight by bridging the...

Hi Im new here so I look forward to some friendly advice :thumbup I am just in the process of looking for a 2001 RSV mille and I have found one that is of interest, the previous owner has stated that the battery died on him and he tried to start the bike resulting in the starter blowing along...

Hi I've been having trouble starting my bike over the last few days as when i try to turn it over it seems to be lacking power and the makes a clicking sound resulting in the display resetting. This morning it wouldnt start at all and the battery is reading approx 11.4v. I get the impression...

Being a sprog here and fingers X soon to be RSV owner, I've had a good trawl through the forum ( which generally involves me p1ssing myself laughing at some of the comments ) and been making a note of some of the common lil problems these bikes can have. I was just wondering if there was a...

Ok, i've had clutch drag and slip. I've change both sets of plates, steel and friction and i've also fitted a MPL slave cylinder and it's still the same. I've only had it running on the paddock stand but i can't stop the wheel spinning with my foot. Any ideas guys. I'm stumped.

Yet another quirk fiorm my beloved RSV factory My RSV 04 Factory is struggling to start and sounds awful when trying. it will take 3 or 4 attempts to start and when failing dies after about 3 secs on starter button. sounds like its struggling to turn over especially worse when cold battery is...

Hi people I have an 04 RSVR Factory. Battery keeps going flat & the bike is not sending any charge to it. Loathed to drop it into my dealer as they are useless & charge the earth. Anyone out there with similar problems, experience or advice of what to check???

Hi lads Taxed my bike on Saturday morning and noticed that the MOT runs out on the 16th of this month:rant to say i was pissed was an understatment, finally get the beast back on the road and only have 6 days to ride it before the MOT bloody timing! Anyway what i wanted to ask was i need to...

Only had my bike a week or so and have noticed that its been a bit slugish to start, which i thought might just be a v twin thing. Just been out for a ride 40 - 50 miles stopped for a *** and it would not turn over when i tried to start it. Pushed it to the nearest car garage and they jumped it...

I've posted previously about the starting problems I've had with my mille. Things have taken a turn for the worse. My bike now makes horrible noises when trying to start, I'm guessing its the sprag clutch. Its going in to be collected on the 23rd which is the earliest opportunity the garage...

my new indicator relay is just making a buzzing noise. Its brand new. The lights don't flash either. After market indicators btw (non LED)
