20 Most Recent 2000 Aprilia RSV Mille SP Questions & Answers

Go to this site and you can download a free PDF service manual.
http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp Most of the manuals are in English but some are not. There is no way to be sure without doing the download. You can always delete it if in a foreign language. There is also a parts manual I suggest that you download.

I checked and there are several manuals there. One shows to be a 2002 manual. That should be 95% the same as the 2000 manual. The major mechanics don't change as a rule, just the trim and a sensor or two.

Could I get a top rating on this answer? Thanks!

Sounds like a cracked compression ring, oil ring or both.
You'll have to pull the cylinder off to find out for sure, but a compression test should give you a pretty good indication.

Press "A" buton for 5 seconds, read out ill flash. Then press button "B" this will now change to mph. Re-press button "A" agin for 5 seconds nd the diplay will return o your default screen.

has the bike been serviced recently if so were the valve clearenes checked if not when were they last done i take it you have checked the obvious such as plugs and air filter if the plugs and filter are good i would get the valve clearences checked because this can cause poor cold starting and general perfomance hope this helps

check the relay. I'm looking for a fuel tank too do you want to sale the old tank? [email protected]

Either the piston seal is bad, the piston is pitted or cracked, or there is air or dirt in the system.

It sounds like something is preventing the bike from getting fuel. Check fuel filter, fuel tank vent, air filter too. If you have vacuum building up in the tank, letting the bike sit for a few minutes slowly releases that vacuum allowing the pump to pull fuel easily again for a bit. Next time the bike quits open your fuel tank. If you hear a whoosh of air being sucked in look for a plugged vent line. A plugged air filter can have a similar effect but the only way to check that is change the air filter or look at the one you have. It would have to be really, really dirty or plugged with some debris to cause this problem.

Don't worry - this isn't a squid's how can I wheelie thread. I was enjoying a pleasant ride around some back roads on Saturday and decided to push the RSV harder than I typically do. So in 2nd gear at about 4000 rpm I twist the throttle wide open and the bike accelerates like mad up to about 9,000 rpm, but without even a hint of a power wheelie. Same result going a little slower to begin with, same result going a little faster to begin with. Same result in 3rd gear. (I didn't try it in 1st gear - too scared). Is this typical? I was under the impression that most 1000cc sportbikes were happy to get the front wheel off the ground in the lower gears. Or is that just 4 cylinder bikes? (Not that I'm in the market for a bike that wheelies - I'm happy that the RSV seems so happy to accelerate quickly without getting scary).,Its is a worlwide conspiracy. All dynanometer operators are in on it. The Rotax must be putting out so large numbers that the Japanese manufacturers are silencing those in the know! Not sure why yours does not wheelie. Mine does really easily, although I have a full dual exhaust, power commander, renegade airbox, early Mille air funnel and Tuono bars, yoke and risers. So mine should wheelie. I would still expect yours to lift the wheel in at least first gear. Maybe you need to get out there and spank its little arse in first gear, then report back.,,,

No between 03 and 04 the shocks are quite different. You need one from an 01-03 Mille or 02-05 Tuono,

but I go through them in a few months. The dual compounds on the Pirelli's are medium and soft the compounds on the Pilot Road 2's are hard and medium so they should last longer. I like to lean low real low, and I'm used to the soft compound. How are the Michelins on the twisties? Good? Bad?? looking for input. And also, I use 180/55 17, how many of you guys use 190/50 17 for a rear tire? ,I have the 180/55 2CT on the rear of the Mille now, Pilot Power up front. These are great tires, very confidence inspiring - stable and flickable at the same time. I'm hoping the added longevity of the 2CT will see the rear last as long as the front so I can change them as a pair for once. __________________,,,

I am the proud new 2nd owner of a red 2000 Mille. Love the bike always wanted one deal of a lifetime came up so I bought it. The bike has 18,000 miles on it. I checked the wiring from the stator/alternator and it has been upgraded to 12 gauge wire from the stator to the voltage regulator. BUT, the wiring mod had not been done, so I thought, great!, I'll do the mod myself. Went home last night and ran 2 12 gauge wires from the red black wires at the connector to the 30 amp fuse. I didn't cut the old wires, just spliced two new ones in, as per bossbobs directions. Then I ran 2 12 gauge wires from the red blue wires at the connector to the battery negative. Turned on the bike, and I had 14.54 volts at the battery...WOO HOO!! couldn't check the 4k rpm voltage as it was late and the bike is loud. Went for a ride this morning, checked the voltage before the ride and it was 14.5 at idle and 14 at 4k rpm. NICE! went for a 15 minute ride and checked the voltage when I got home.... 12.5 at idle and 12.1 at 4k rpm....DAMN IT!! I take it this is a heat issue. The regulator gets hot to the touch, but not so hot that you can't touch it...yellow wires from the stator aren't warm at all... before the wiring mod, I had approximately 13.2 at idle and 12.5 at 4k rpm.... tired voltage regulator I hope????, cause I want to get bikepainter's upgraded aftermarket regulator.... Could everyone give me your input please??? not a very good pic of the new beasty,If you are using the on board indicator it's not very acurate. Also these bikes are know for big variations in voltage at anytime. I was told this by David at Acumen in the UK. I check this myself vs the voltage changes on a 2000 Grand Prix. I hooked the acumen voltage reader to the Prix and it stayed at 14.4-14.2, at idle and higher rpms. On the Futura I've seen readings from 17 volts to 12 volts. If you aren't having any electrical or starting problems, don't sweat it. ,,,

or can I disconnect OEM indicators and connect one up to see if it works ok. Basically I dont want to rewire the bike for the indicators not to work!! just installed my LEDs a couple months back. All I did was to change the flasher relay that you can buy at local auto store for less than $10 bucks. and add resistors inline that are 8ohm 25watt. You can get the resistors from radio shack. i only needed to install the resistor on the front indicators. I didn't do them all at the same time. So, the rears worked fine with just the flasher relay for me but depends on your LEDs. Be safe and just get the resistors and relay and all will work just fine. And you don't need to rewire your bike. ....The problem is that the LEDS do not pull enough power to trip the relay to flash and the resistors correct that. And do them all at once..,,,

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 ..
