start

Well the t has been on the trickle charger since october, not touched her. Pushed her outside on wednesday and went instantly off the starter and sailed through the mot :)

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...

Only had the 2001 Mille-R a few weeks and she's started first touch no probs since having the new solenoids fitted. Dicided to change the oil so I warmed her up yesterday (started no probs) and left the oil draining over night. Added 3.5 liters of new oil today and wanted to run her a min...

Ok so done nearly all the mods...................... but........battery is a ytx12 standard jobbie & solenoid is I think an original 50amp block of cheese, checked on multimeter before going out 13.6v so should be ok started alright from cold......this time........I took her out for a spin to...

Hi all, here for a bit of technical advice. I've got an '01 RSVR, and it's always been a bit of a pain to start in cold weather. I uprated the battery and thought I'd got my starting technique pretty well down. Anyhow, this morning I turned it on, all lit up fine, it was a bit sheepish on the...

Guys, I have been out for a while as I had to urgently come back to Australia and left my poor bike in a garage in Sutton for 2 years. I got it here now and I buggered if i know how to work this thing again. I need your advice as it is turning over but not kicking into life. After the two...

Some people might not realise a trick to start Milles, if your battery is ok, and it doesn't start straight away as you like, it will flood really quickly, so to avoid cranking over and over and risk the broken spragg clutch/ cracking cases issue, I found holding the throttle wide open and...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgt7GJB25Nk I was afraid when the cold weather comes problem will come back. Bike doesn't want to start easily. Every morning I'm having this problem it goes away if the bike is warm. Battery is fine tested with hi amp battery - same results. Full service done...

Evening folks, long time lurker here with a bit of a problem. Took the bike out today for a 10mile run to work with no issues. Left work and travelled a couple of miles to my parents house again with no issues. When I came to leave, thumbed the start button and the bike died, no starter, no...

hi guys need some input here I have a mates bike and its an 04 it sat with no battery for over 6 months and the dash has reset itself to zero everything. put a new battery in it turn on the ignition key and it primes the fuel. all the lights on the dash light up then go out. the rpm...

As per title. Changed the batt, now with the sensor connected - when I press the start button - the fuel pump primes again and nothing happens. When I disconnecte the sensor it fires up fine but have the red EFI light on... ANy Ideas ? I took the sensor apart and the ring inside it is very...

I have a RSVR Factory 2005 that will not start, road it to the TT this year, first time there, but very wet on the way up...parked it up that night, got on the following morning and nothing!!!, It will turn over, the fuel pump primes but it does not self diagnose on the RPM counter, flicks to...

Well used it last night and it almost didnt turn over but when I tried it again it was as normal. Tonight when I turned the key nothing! no lights no anything. Its as if theres no battery connected. I use an optimate. any suggestions before I buy a battery, someone mentioned something about a...

Hi everyone, Had an interesting ride to work this morning. I have a 2004 RSVR, here's what happened: Started bike as normal, no problem. After 1/4 mile experienced engine temporarily cutting out-starting-cutting out-starting. Needless to say the jerking around of this was a little unsettling...

Took my 2011 RSV4 SE out for some running in, and it let me down. Deep in the non-cellphone coverage outskirts of Westcupcake. Bitchin. 300 miles is as far as she'd taken me. Had done about 50 miles of those this morning, then she refused to fire up. URGENT SERVICE alarm displayed. Bike turns...

G'day! Having a bizarre moment with my 05 RSV: I rode it only four days ago with no problem whatsoever. Today I went to go for a blurt and when I went to start it the dash was blank. The fuel pump made its whirring sound when I turned the Key into 'run', and it cranked over with plenty of...

I got caught in the open in a monster thunder storm Friday. Rode home ... put bike in garage Went to start it today and feck all No click No nothing Dash all lights up ok Lights horn indicators all good Tip over switch ok (hear it click) Battery at 13.5V So what has...

Hi Guys So I've ploughed though 25 pages of forum help and got nowhere, but I bet someone knows So I turn the key, display shows err, sidestand light on, rev limiter light on, buggerall else happens. I've replaced the dreaded white connector under the passenger seat, checked the sidestand...

A little story that might help others: I've got a 2006 RSV and every now and then my starter wouldn't turn (just clicked) and the ignition would eventually die. Then if I turned it on and off a few times it would start. The backlighting on my dash would sometimes work and sometimes not. I...

after the winter lie up i went to start mine today,its been on an optimiser but when i hit the button there was just clicking from the solenoid thats positioned just behind the battery,do you think the battery maybe dead?
