2008 Aprilia SportCity 125 Questions & Answers
After removing all visible bolts
The cases are mounted with a couple of dowels, will look like a bump in the casing similar to where a bolt would go but no hole.
The cases sometimes need a little persuasion with a soft mallet.

Engine started a slight ticking sound and stalled
I have no idea what a Sportcity 125 is but it is powered by an internal combustion engine. All internal combustion engines need three things to run. Compression, Ignition, and Fuel. And, they need to be timed to occur at the correct time.
First, determine if you've got compression. Remove the spark plug and put your finger over the spark plug hole. Turn the engine over. If air blows your finger off the hole with a good force, you've got compression.
Now, put the spark plug in the wire and hold the plug against a metal part of the engine. Use something that insulated to do this. Otherwise, you may get shocked. Turn the engine over and watch for a spark at the plug tip. If you don't have a spark, you probably have something wrong in your ignition system.
Fuel. Have you got gasoline in the tank. Is it getting to the fuel delivery device, i.e. carburetor or fuel injector. If carburated, make sure fuel is in the float bowl. If fuel injected, check for fuel pressure at the injector. Fuel injected bikes have fuel pumps. This may not be working and they usually do make a sound like a ticking sound.

Instructions
-
-
1
Park your RSV 1000R on a well-ventilated, level area, using its kickstand.
-
2
Start the engine and let it idle in place until the
temperature gauge built into the instrument cluster indicates a minimum
internal temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the motorcycle's
ideal operating temperature.
-
3
Take note of the engine idle speed, using the tachometer
needle, while the engine is running. Ideally, the engine should idle
steadily at 1,250 rpm.
-
4
Adjust the engine idle speed to 1,250 rpm, using the idle
adjuster screw hidden between the lower right edge of the fuel tank and
the upper edge of the right middle fairing panel. Turn the idle adjuster
screw clockwise to increase the engine idle speed, or counterclockwise
to decrease the engine idle speed, using a small flat screwdriver if
your RSV 1000R's frame (VIN number) precedes ZD4MEE009YS000292. A
plastic knob allows the engine idle speed to adjusted by hand on RSV
1000R models with a frame (VIN) numbers starting from ZD4MEE009YS000293.
-
5
Rev the engine two to three times and observe the
tachometer. The engine should return to a 1,250 rpm idle. Adjust the
engine idle speed as needed, using the method described, then rev the
engine again. Problems may exist within the throttle control,
fuel-injection system or engine, if the engine idle speed will not hold
steady at 1,250 rpm. Contact your local Aprilia service facility for
assistance.
-
6
Stop the engine, once you have obtained a steady 1,250 rpm idle speed.
