Well, it's taken less than a week before my first Italian bike has thrown a wobbler
Washed it yesterday and has refused to start since then. The battery is fine, have still got it on an optimate to keep it 100%. The bike will turn over no problem, just won't catch. I left it overnight, incased I'd flooded it somehow, but no luck again this morning. I just had the plugs out (there is 2 per cylinder). I took the lower one out of the rear cylinder, and turned it over - I couldn't see any spark, but I saw a flash of blue from the engine, so maybe the other plug is ok. I took them both out, and neither are sparking - no blue flashes though.
I'm not an expert mechanic, so don't really know what else I can do/check. I hear the solenoids are weak on these, could this be the cause?
I've sprayed WD-40 round all the connectors that could of got wet, I might go round with a hairdryer in a bit!
Any advice would be great! Cheers.... ____________________ Currently Riding - 2002 Aprilia RSV1000 Mille |
