start

I posted a couple of weeks ago that my bike wouldn't start and there was a loud clicking from the what sounded like the ecu case, ordered a new battery as symptoms pointed to the battery being dead, have just put new battery on and still the same, better voltage but still the clicking. While...

So the story is I picked up my bike during lunch today and it started fine. Rode over to the dry cleaners to drop off a uniform and parked like normal. When I returned to my bike, everything was normal until I hit the ignition. The dash went through the start-up sequence as normal; however as...

Hi, am in need of an idea or 2, I have had my 04 plate Mille since last Sept and has always started fine, it has been run a few times since X-Mas so I cannot attribute this to being left over the winter. I tried to start it up yesterday and it wouldn't fire, then the battery died, it is always...

Take a look at the video through this link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldBJ7OBSRAA Over the last 3 days I've tried to start her a few times each day and the results are always the same. The last time I ran her was about 3 weeks ago and she started on the second attempt, going on to run...

Just in case anyone else has the same problem, I'd thought I'd give you the benefit of my experience of late as I couldn't find the same symptoms whilst searching this forum (unless I looked incorrectly, which is possible). I’d not started my bike (std. RSV 2003 model) in over 5 to 6 weeks and...

Hi Guy's, Yup it's the old Aprilia not starting chestnut..... I've got a 04 Tuono. It's been on charge for two day's, i've replaced all the spark plugs, swapped batteries. Check all plugs have a spark. It turns over perfectly fine, but will not fire. Done the left handlebar switch...

I replaced the vent hose in the tank, because it was cracked, put everything back together but she won't start. I press the start button, fuel pump starts working, nothing else happens. After a couple of seconds of holding the start button the right dash says "No Start". I checked the tip over...

Anyone got a clue? I was just waiting for a mate to get his helmet on, RSV idling. It just died. So turned off ignition, waited a couple of mins, turned it on, fuel pump primes, all the lights come on then off, rev counter up to limit then back to zero. Red triangle on, immobilizer flashing...

Hi guys, I'm posting for a friend of mine who just bought YESTERDAY a 2006 Aprilia RSV R with only 9000km on board. At a closer look after buying it we discovered that the battery top plastic cover was loose and some plugs to the battery cells were off. We inspected the battery (by eye :) )...

The face of mt Gen2 clocks is cracked Apparently you cannot buy the glass on it's own. On here somewhere there's an excellent post about taking them to bits and sealing ... but somebody needs to work out how to make the things fog proof and set up a repair service including sealing /...

as the title says. I last took my 02 mille r out a week ago and everything was fine. tried to start this morning and it turned over but would not fire up. checked tps and is reading 0. no other faults showing on dash. removed plugs and they were wet so I know i have fuel. I can also smell it...

Hi everyone, wondering if someone can help. Bought a 2002 rsv mille. Started with a few mods including the full jester kit (original hooters). Removed rear subframe, have electrics etc hanging over the rear wheel, also lengthened the leads on the coils to reposition them in the fairing. Before...

Hi guys, haven't been on for a while, hope everyone is well. I have a 2003 Tuono Fighter and it's the most fun bike I've ever had! Hadn't used it for about three weeks and yesterday it wouldn't start. Battery is about a year old, spent the winter out of the bike and looks tip top according...

Hi, New to the forum!:thumbup I just swapped a WR450 for a 2002 RSV it's a very nice bike in great condition for the year and it rides faultlessly. I took it out for the day on Saturday and rode 100+ miles with no drama. The next morning I came out to start it and it was reluctant to start...

Hi all. Can any one please help. I stupidly ran out of petrol yesterday. After i got the bike home (in a van) i put a gallon of fuel in her. Now for some reason she wont start. I have checked the fuel filter which is fine and i can smell fuel when she turns over. The battery is now flat and on...

Hi all, it's been some time since my last post and really hope someone out there can help. Went to start my 1999 Mille and met by familiar struggle to start and then clicking - battery was duff. Tried jump starting from lawnmower battery and then car, still no joy. Bought new Optimate 4 to...
