SV run with no clocks ?

[barwel1992]

clocks are smashed (proper) and i want to start it up to make sure all is ok as far as starting is concerned, will it start with no clocks or do i need to short some pins ?

[DarrenSV650S]

There's only one way to find out :D

[yorkie_chris]

shouldn't hurt owt trying it.

[barwel1992]

fight :D

[barwel1992]

and i will just try it then :)

What have you gone and done....?

A pointy is supposed to need the clocks, something to do with the rev counter interface with the ECU but if you do find a fix to get rid of it do let me know, that's next on my list of things to do.

[barwel1992]

i crashed a week ago (flipped the bike and rear ended my dads car in an emergency stop in Devon, dad was dragging his brakes down hill and a camper came round the corner and dad had to slam brakes on as the road was to narrow unfortunately i didn't realise straight away as the brake light were already on, so i slammed brakes on and locked back and then front flipping the bike over and into the car )

and my k3 started up fine with no clocks at all revs and every thing rear wheel spins when in gear to, so i would say it doesn't need the clocks

PS is it law that i have to have clocks? need to test it when i get my front end but wont have clocks until after that

bike looks like this atm

You need a speedo

[barwel1992]

^ damn, what a bout a push bike one?

[DarrenSV650S]

I dunno to be honest. Have you got a sat nav? You might get away with that

[speedplay]

A push bike one will get you legal.

[barwel1992]

cool, its only for testing

will be getting a trail tech vapor

Ive got one here ready to fit to my KTM.

The KTM came with a sigma sport computer for years and its all you really need.

[barwel1992]

cool

helpfully the trail tech should look slick with the rsv mille front end ;)

[dirtydog]

My SV (and my old CB1-400) has been through an MOT with a speedo fitted but not actually working

[dyzio]

You need a speedo

Sat nav?

[Red Herring]

A speedo isn't part of the MOT test, but you do need one to ride on the road.

[barwel1992]

thanks all, will pinch my dads push bike speedo :)

[barwel1992]

hold your horses, dont have it yet literally just paid for it

not the flash flash front end though i couldn't aford the £400 ohlins (for just the forks :|) it has standard mount brakes as well but ohh well its different than the standard gsxr mod and should look just as good

[fastdruid]

While you need a speedo to pass an MOT it doesn't need to work (although it goes without saying that it should).

I wouldn't advise doing it but you could just tape together the original clocks so they look intact in case you get stopped...

You bloody tart, all this and not even a single "are the forks/brakes from these prillas any good?" LOL

Lucky you are heavy, as I think they're pretty stiffly sprung.

Nice way of telling him hes fat YC :)

:lol: shh i have been trawling the aprilia forums and anoying them with loads of questions, and most seem to like the front suspension

and in deed i am heavy, and they are pretty stiffly sprung.

and im not that much of a tart, i got quoted £850 for a 2002 gixxer 1000 front end i think £435 inc P&P and fitting of my stem, new seals and oil in forks, nearly new rotors is a good deal if you ask me :P

[yorkie_chris]

Yes that is bargain.

Those brembo calipers like on duc and cagiva? If so they are great, coated throughout so do not seize up.

[barwel1992]

not sure

they are these ones LINK (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Aprillia-RSV-Mille-front-brake-calipers-2000-/230346876218?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item35a1be653a)

[yorkie_chris]

Yea they look same

[barwel1992]

they are on the rsv mille 2000 and tuono 2002-2005 (not r model)

Does that abba stand need specific adaptors for the sv?

Had to laugh at your perfectly preserved crash protectors lol.

[yorkie_chris]

You need adaptors to fit abba stand to any bike

[barwel1992]

yes it does, but you can get a kit, inc abba stand and sv adapters for £90ish on ebay

and yeh amused me as well no damage to ether of them at all .... typical just hit every thing else lol

rear end is now back on and repaired all is good so far
