20 Most Recent 2002 Aprilia SL Mille Falco R Questions & Answers

do a load test on the battery and see what you get. if it passes then you need start hunting, if you where riding in two days ago and parked it then im sure itssomething simple. check your main fuse your power to the starter button and back to the starter relay insure your starter relay is working and then power the starter itself.
Let me know what you find

This is usually due to a broken speedo cable. The cable breaks when the lubricant in the speedo cable housing thickens beyond use from age, if the cable housing leaks and rust forms, or the speedometer itself gets gummy and hard to turn with age.

If the cable is broken, ensure free operation of all the parts, and then replace the cable.

Use a voltage meter and test battery, If that is fine then Test the bike wiring loom at each connection point and you will find at what point its failing.

That is a ignition problum. you have to look there.It has electronic ignition?

Get your wheel balanced and be darn careful between now and then.

but im not really feeling the love for it. the main problems i have at the moment are that the front and rear suspension are really soft its ruining my cornering confidence and making the bike uncomfortable to ride. im 20st and 6'5 so there is a lot of me to hustle about. the hagon shock that the previous owner put on there has not adjustment other then preload and im sure the spring rate is miles off what i would need whats a good replacement shock for a guy like me? also the clutch is very heavy with little progression its either on or off so im finding riding in town hard work as well as slipping the clutch in corners. lastly the fuel economy is pretty poor, i only got 93 miles before my low fuel warning light came on. so any suggestions? because at this rate im considering selling it to get something a bit more pedestrian for riding in london like a fazer 1000.,I wasn't feeling the love for my falco for awhile either. For reference, I'm 6'6 and about 250 lbs. Helibars are a must IMO. Also, my level of hate went waaaay down when I installed a smaller (-1) front sprocket. Being able to get the bike into corners at the right revs (and torque) reduced the amount of braking I did, which let the suspension settle down. Toss the stock shock. They're great bikes, you just have to get it set up for you. ,,,

The clutch in my secondhand engine does exactly the same it's not too bad when the engine is cold but has a tendency to drag a little till it warms up. When hot there is quite a racket until I pull the lever. This engine came out of a written off RSV trackday bike and has had a much harder life than my original one. I reckon that it's time for both of us to rebuild our clutches no doubt someone on here can confirm my suspicion.,,,

I know they only go in one way.......Talk to GR he replaced his recently and did alot of research,

both the BT-014 and -021 ... $90 for a 120 front and $110 for a 180 rear. I've never run Bridgestones but I am thinking about an -021 in the rear and the stickier -014 up front. Any opinions? hear they are pretty good...in MotoGP anyways JCR has BStones on his CBR...they were real sticky...and he claims they last quite a while too. ,

Hi, Please get your battery and alternator checked. Since your car can't maintain power, one of these two items would most likely be the cause. In fact, if you had a bad alternator it could permanently damage a new battery because the alternator wouldn't charge the battery for an extended period of time. Thank you.

ask maker or seller for help. ive no idea what key update means? nor the need./ I'd just drive it and forget all that. or risk down time, oops

Instructions

1. • 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.

If it came with a battery, you need to put a battery in it. The battery provides the power for the spark, the stator provides power to charge the battery. You can rewire modern scooters to suit yourself. https://www.google.com/search?q=Aprillia+Sonic+GP+Battery ..

A clogged gas cap engine hole can cause this.

If ok, change the fuel filter(s).

A clogged filter will allow a little gas through but can keep up with demand.

OK< can you provide more details? Does it turn over? Does it fire at all? Do you know if you have a spark? Do you know if fuel is getting through? Has it run properly recently? To run, a motor needs fuel, air and spark Inspect all fuel lines and wires. Pull the sparkplug and see if it is burnt/wet/corroded
