Hi, I started the T this morning all ok except the speedo was not reading anything at all, had a fiddle turned her off and on all ok. any ideas why this would happen? Cheers

Putting the battery back in tonight after work - it has been on an optimate insinde my house, and the bike was in storage for the last 5 months with a fuel stabilizer added. After reading all the thread about the bike not starting after the winter I'm dreading that it won't start:eek: wish me...

I would prefer to get some oil circulating around the engine before it starts after a long period of standing. Is there a way to allow the engine to spin over on the starter but not start ? If the stop button is in, it wont spin over. I supose I could pull the plug caps off. (or even take...

Hi all, Anyone come across this before? Out riding bike all good for around 100 miles. Engine temp OK no other problems all warning lights out. Stopped for fuel and would not turn-over. Warning triangle illuminated. Checked all fuses (visually) and all seem ok. Phone recovery. Guy turns up...

Tried to start it for first time since January today, turned over but wouldn't fire, tried with idle on full medium and off but nothing. Eventually it just smelt strongly of fuel. It's been on a maximizer so i doubt it's the battery although it did feel like it was labouring. Ill try again...

Right,here goes! Kept on an Optimate Battery fully charged Cleaned all the plugs Fresh fuel Carb cleaner Wiggled the tip sensor Swore at it Threatened to trade it for a Hyosung Press the start button,just get a tick from somewhere around the tip sensor area and not start! Could it be the...

Weather report for yesterday "sunny in afternoon rain in evening" Right, first ride for my new purchase and entry into the V Twin club, Now after coming fron a Honda VFR this was quite a shock for me when I nailed the throttle in second and nearly put the front wheel into orbit, **** me this is...

Morning all, Bike has been in hibernation since late Nov, been on an Optimate the whole time. Went to start it up on Sunday, it turns a bit, coughs (no clicking) and nothing. My stator went last Aug, but has run fine since then. Its plugged into the optimate the whole time its not in...

i mean not a great a start at all, actually just not a start would be more accurate. Went out for a very quick spin Friday to get the tax and all was fine, started a treat. Today a different story. Cleaned it, rinsed it and then tried to start it to take it for a quick drying off lap and...

I keep my bike on an optimate charger & the light is green. Went out to the garage on Saturday to start it up, disconnected the charger, switched on the ignition, gave it full choke but no throttle & hit the start button...... Turning over fast, splutted a bit but wouldnt start. Tried it a...

Hey guys, Got my first T 06 a month ago, before buying she started with no problems (she was well look after). Previous owner put the new battery, but could't charge it properly (he put the battery same day I bought her). When due to circumstances had to leave her in the cold for a month...

hey guys, hi there.... lately when I start my 03 Mille I'm picking up a puff of smoke but clears reasonably quickly. When I'm riding though there is no smoke. I took the plugs out to check if I could establish which cylinder was the smokey one. As it turns out it's the rear cylinder, the plugs...

Hi All, I have a 2002 RSV, i rode it a month or so ago and all was well, The problem is I went to start it the other day and it wouldnt start. Clocks went to Kmh and rev counter went to 6000 rpm. I was told I needed new battery. New battery is now fitted but still will not start and rev...

I just thought i would share with you guys another RSV that really doesn't like the minus weather. Had the battery off the bike for about 3 weeks in a garage. Got my new exhaust :thumbup, went to start the ***** and tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick...

Evening all, bought a 99 RSV on Tuesday. The guy started it up fine when I went to pick it up, he didn't do anything special just started it up and it ran fine. I trailer'd it 30 mins home and tonight I've gone to start it. It has a Datatool Veto alarm, so I disable it and turn the ignition on...

Hi. Any ideas anyone please. My 2002 RSV wouldnt start but rev counter went to 6, is this a diagnostics tool. Thanks

Guys This has happened a few times now to my RSVR 08.... On starting the oil light stays on and the EFI warning light comes on. The bike runs rough (1 cylinder?) and will only rev to and bounces around 2500-3000rpm. this clears after about 2-8 seconds. There is oil in it and Griff replaced...

06:00 this morning cranks over as usual but will not catch. Started to run battery down after (a) choke only with no accelerator, (b) choke plus accelerator, (c) accelerator only. Serves me right for gettting into my leathers before trying to start the damn thing :uhoh Rode last week so...
