My bike rev counter is on 4000 but ticks over fine

[ryanmcgrath]

hi i have just bought a aprilia rs 50 and when i start it up and is ticking over the rev counter is showing 4000 revs and it is only ticking over also when i am riding it at about 20mph the speedo is showing 70mph , does anybody know how to reset these back to normal , i have tried disconecting the battery a few times but still the same

[cb1rocket]

adjust idle screw for tickover speed, should be stated in the manual how to

I think he means it's ticking over at normal speed, but the tacho is showing 4k?

Yup, I would say you need a new cable, or maybe even a new instruments.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

is it a new shape rs50 with the digital speedo display?? i have replaced a few under warranty due to water inside same as derbi gprs and drd pros.... is the bike still under warranty??

[ryanmcgrath]

yes it is new shape with digital spedo, any idea about rev counter ?

[dobby]

i still say water ingressed....

if one of ur mates has got the same bike see if u can swap them just to check it (providing theirs doenst do the same )

if it solves the problem check for a 2nd hand one

or if u want a new one...

00H04331031 is the part number and they are £177.65 (Excluding VAT at 17.5%)


Cheers....

If its a bike bought from a dealer take it back, its a warrenty issue, if its a private purchase, don't fret just yet, contact your dealer to see if it was a recall and they should replace it for you free if not for a small fee.

There was never a recall for the dashboards on this model only the rs125....

BY THE WAY HAVE YOU HAD YOU FRAME RECALL DONE

It did not affect all of them but 98% of the rs50 and the derbi gpr 50 that we sold the frames used to crack and split and the bike went oneway and the forks went another way... just go to your local dealer and they will check if your frame needs it by goin on the aprilia dealer portal and check your frame number

3 months warrenty usually on a shop bike parts/labour?
It might be a dirty contact or loose one, but if not then it will be the sensor itself (face lift) or the cable (bubble model).
