I finally got around to purchasing the recommended Yamaha starter relay and purchased a battery from AMG Power Sport model number X2-14 it's called the X2 Power and has a 2 year warranty. It's what the Harley guys are using and I got it from Batteries Plus. So far I can start my bike 9 times...

Basically my bike died on me yesterday, just cut out with no warning, I tried to restart it but the battery (top of the range and pretty new) soon went dead. After re charging the battery the motor turns over but the fuel pump doesn't prime anymore and it won't start, the worst part is I have a...

Since having the bike (about 6 months) I never thought the battery was turning the starter over very well. however it allways started up. battery allways on optimate. Last week failed to start first time then made a clanking noise secon d time and started third time ok. I panicked thinking of...

I get that when starting from cold you have the start lever fully open and adjust to bring the idle under control after started. When up to temp (stopping for a drink on a ride then setting off again) should the bike just fire from the button, or should it still need a bit of the lever? Ive...

Hi All Sad day today I missed a track day at Cadwell as my Aprilia RSV4F SE APRC won't start. The problem sounds like a flat battery, i.e. can't turn the engine over, followed by a few clicks coming from I guess the relay, but the dealer has now fitted Two New Batteries. The Alternator pumps...
