Posted: 15:48 - 12 Mar 2010 Post subject: Aprilia RS 125 will not start help me please! |

Hi all,
new to the site, im hoping someone can help me out
I bought an aprilia rs 125 x reg (2000) back in November, the bike started and ran fine, since then it had been sat in a bike shop til jan when it was motd which was fine.
My mate who was fixing it had to put new indicators on and pull all the wiring out which has since been put back, a manual choke was put on as the original would not work, the spark plug and ht lead have been replaced.
Now the bike will not start, there is fuel coming through, very strong spark from the plug and ive been told the air flow is ok?!
my mate had 4 guys trying to bump start it but it just will not go, it turns over so the batt is not dead, but the damn thing will not start
Has anyone any ideas? I havent even riden it yet and may be forced to sell it if i cant get it going
Please help!
Cheers
Laurence |

first thing id do is check that all of the wiring has been re assembled correctly!!! other than that check you have fuel fow and a spark if you have these do a compression check on it to see if its low... do you know if it has had the piston rings changed like aprilia reccommend at 9000.... |

hi,
what sort of manual choke conversion has been done?
is it the flip up type?
you did use the original choke piston part though? + not the bit supplied with the manual kit? (im pretty sure there are 2 different lenths available & perhaps your using the wrong one?)
i find it strange that you had to do that in 1st place.
i have only ever had to do that once, & that was because i was fitting a 38mm mikuni carb.
the rs can be a pig to start, especially in the cold.
even more so if its not been started for a while.
make sure the battery is fully charged. (dont rely on the bikes lcd, there pretty unreliable)
one last thing, after attempting to start it, have you taken the spark plug out, to see if it is wet?
might as well get another spark plug as well, BR9ES/EG,
cheers,
GAZ |
