I just tried to start my 02 Mille. It always needs a bit of throttle to get it going. It almost started, then there was a loud bang, followed by a small puff of smoke coming from the front left side of the bike. EFI came on so I plugged in the wires and got Diag code 1. Engine turns over but it...

Hi guys 1st post ! after being a lurker for a while, tried my bike (2002 RSV Mille) yesterday and it wouldn't start and the dash resets to km and time to 00:00 etc so I charged the battery fully using an optimate and it showed just over 12.6v when the optimate said it was charged and tried again...

hello everyone, newbie here ive been searching the forum for a while to try and get an answer to this but need a bit more help. about a year ago I swapped bikes with my son and inherited his 2001 mille r, engine-wise it appears pretty standard apart from twin high mounted end cans (a bit like...

Guys I've got a bit of a problem with my T, it was working fine yesterday but it won't start this morning it just keeps cranking the thing I've noticed is the EFI light is flashing and I can't hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition on. Theres no smell of fuel and there is fuel in...

Hi guys... Had few probs with millie in past.. Seems today she's given up... Fails to turn over... Well just to solenoid... Bridged over and still no start.. Battery only showing 9.6v so taking it it's that? Done all the usual.... Including new starter clutch and grubbing a (£550) 4 months...

Ive a feeling its me being thick but.... Ive just tried to start the tuono (gen2) after a long winter hibernation and it won't even turnover. When pushing the start button the sidestand light flashes (sidestand is up) then a few very audible clicks from under the seat. Charge should be good as...

Hello, I have a 2000.5 RSVR that has just over 6200 miles on it. I took it out for a ride about four days ago. The battery at that time was pretty low and I had to attach a set of jumper cables to a vehicle to get it going (vehicle was off). The bike fired right up and the ride was very good...

Right, starting problems, here we go... Bought a 2003 mille a couple of weeks ago, all seemed well. tried starting a couple of days later and it didn't fancy it. So after a night on the optimate, it started right up. same thing happened a couple of days later, so I initially put it down to a...

I have a 2001 mille. No problems at all except for a few times now it wouldn't start on the button. I press it and just get an airy sort of whine. I shook the bike then pressed the button and she fired up. Any thoughts?? Cheers

Hey guys, So my '02 Mille HATES starting while she's cold. Whatever it is, the cold is affecting it. I will crank and crank until I can smell the gasoline (even at full throttle) and nothing. I put her in the sun for 30 minutes and she starts up like absolutely nothing is wrong. What can it be...

Hi guys. I tried to start the mille last week and she wouldn't have it, I had to leave it an hour, treat the fuel and heat the casings up and give it a fistful before it fired up. Took her out for a good run then left her for a week before again having trouble again today, holding the throttle...

After 6 years of ownership, I'm sick of the starting problems I have with the Gen 1, especially in the winter. :banghead The 2004/5 model I have has the headlights permanently on, and I'm thinking of fitting the L/H switchgear from an earlier model that incorporates a switch to allow the lights...

Hey up chaps, The starter motor on my Gen 1 is making an awful clatter when its starting up-is it the starter clutch heading out west or is it something else ? Any help and advice would be appreciated Thanks Reecy

Hi guys, I have 2008 RSVR fitted with a 12v battery, it is kept on optimate permanently and it is showing 11.5 on the bike display. Never had a prob before, but now I get a clicking noise from (i'm guessing) the solenoid when trying to start it, what do you think, duff battery or duff solenoid...

Hi all, Hate to start my first post on this forum with a problem but I’m hoping that you guys can point me in the right direction…. I took the datatool System 3 alarm off recently (thank F*ck for that!) on my 2003 Gen1 Mille and when I went to start for the first time, the fuel pump didn’t...

Hi, I have a 2004 rsv1000r. Its been fine until last month when it wouldn't start it just turned over. I took the key out for 30 seconds put it back in then it fired up. Again this happened where it just turned over but this time took key out put it back in but nothing. Had to do it again and...
