2006 Aprilia SXV 5.5 Questions & Answers
Sxv 550 wont start
do you still have the bike ?
My 2006 SXV had the same problem I think. I would turn over & over but no firing ?
Don't give up - just get it to the Rocket Centre @ Blackburn. They fixed mine desp[ite my local dealer saying it was a new engine job. Very few dealers (in the North at least) have any idea how to fix an SXV
There is a new set of starting gears available FOC from prillia which will probably fix the problem straight away. Mine needed a new stator too and valve buckets which were compounding the problem but the whole thing cost me less than £100 thanks to the free upgrade from prillia.
give it a try - you won't be disappointed if you can get it going again

Blowing water our of radiator
antifreeze/water do not use 100% water, because water has a low boiling point, try and use 80ant/20water, antifreeze has a bit higher boiling point than water so wont get hot too quick. Fluid should not be blowing out any caps, unless when replacing new head gasket and it not seated properly as pressure also leaking out between the engine head through the coolant section and build lots of pressure blowing off the caps. make sure the fan also working properly. recheck your head gasket and its seated and torque the bolts to proper tightness, too tight it will crush the head gasket and too lose will also leaks as both it will cause the gasket not to seat properly. make sure you torque it to the specification, reason is allowing the everything to shrink when its cool and expand when it heat up. Bike motors get heat up very quickly due to its revolutions motor turning and lack of constant airflow and small radiator.
My aprila rs50 starts fine and runs fine cold but if it heats up abit you pull the throttle and it sounds like its dieng
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.

Will not start Aprilia Mojito Custom
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

I have installed a new ignition on y aprillia pegaso 2008 and it wont accept the code numbers
It's not the new switch, it's the new keys that have to be programmed.
The keys have uniquely coded chips in them, when you turn on the ECU uses the antenna that is by the ignition switch to look for a code that it recognises, you need to introduce the new key codes to the ECU.
This is what the manual says:
In case of installation of a new ignition switch the procedure is as follows:
Turn ON using new key
The dashboard will not recognise the key and will ask for the customer code: insert the customer code. It is 00000 when supplied. It can be changed to any numeric five digit number.
Now you can enter: MENU, DIAGNOSIS (insert the service code 25973),
Then select MODIFY KEYS and implement the procedure.
If you are not sure about the mode switch, this is what you do:
Use handlebar "mode" switch (left / right) to select "Menu" option on the screen, then press mode switch in to enter.
Use handlebar "mode" switch to select "Diagnosis", press to enter.
Use handlebar "mode" switch to enter the workshop code (25973).
When you have selected the digit you want then press in and it will move to the next digit etc.
You can't screw anything up, if you do it wrong go back or turn off and start again.

Do you put water in a Aprilia Leonardo 125 2009
The coolant system on any engine, including bikes and scooters, does not use just water. You will need a coolant mixture which you dilute with water. There are several types of coolant mix so it would be a good idea to ask an Aprilia specialist exactly which type of coolant mix to use.
