 nevermind. I gotta read better, you said the pickup wire. are you saying it should be .5vac while cranking?Now I'm learning something  40-80vac is on the HV lead. ;D

[replyingto=alleyoop]alleyoop[/replyingto]0.5vac? is that without cranking? I thought you need 40-80 vac.  |

I would check the voltage on the HV lead. I guess I modified my post too late- I did'nt see that it was you, I would'nt have gone into the flywheel puller thing  |

[replyingto=mwlehman]mwlehman[/replyingto]Aprilia is a damn fine bike. I'd love to get one. Out of curiosity,what's the top end of them un-modified (stock)?

I recently had the same problem. What I found was a bad connection on the HV lead comming from the stator. I had to take the stator out to fix it. Attachments:

this may explain it a little easier. You can see what it is here. all the descriptions other members have described are correct. It controls the spark. Here,you see it in the circuit ;D Attachments:

[replyingto=carasdad]carasdad[/replyingto]That's absolutely right! I know this from my own experience. I tried a hoca piston in a scrappydog BBK cylinder and 47mm head with A9 cam, and it was a complete failure. I just could not make it run right even with 2 base gaskets. The thing was making 220PSI! I got rid of the whole setup, and put in an airsal kit, stock head and A9 cam.I could'nt be happier.Plenty of go when you need it, and also tame and quiet for normal riding

I found that with higher compression, DO NOT twist the throttle when starting. It lets more air in. If everything is adjusted right, It will start without throttle, than you"catch it" when it fires up and twist the throttle. Maybe you just need a new starter, or stronger battery

[replyingto=millsc]millsc[/replyingto]Not a bad Idea. I never gave it a thought, since I use the impact. I'm still puzzled as to how it came loose. Only around 50 miles since I had it out |

I'm even thinking of comming up with some kind of safety chain or cable to tie the engine to the frame. Just In Case.even though the motor is fastened at 4 points.(2 mounts-2 shocks) I somehow have less confidence than i did yesterday

While riding down to the water earlier today( going only about 15-20MPH THANK GOD),I happened to "goose it" atiny bit. I felt a shimmy, almost like the rear wheel slid on ice. I thought to myself what the h--l was that? I did a u turn to see if it was anything in the road. Nothing. So I pulled over,and put it on the kickstand and got off.I grabbed the back of the bike and shook it back and forth. Imagine my surprise when the Whole engine assembly was loose. I got down and looked.to find the right motor mount bolt 3/4 of the way out! Apparently the nut just fell off. I have had the motor out a few times, and always use my impact gun to put it back. I took it home, removed both bolts, and put lockwashers behind them. Just goes to show you that even though the nuts are flanged and supposed to self lock, you never know.
It is extreme good luck that i wasnt going wot at 45 or 50 MPH when this bolt deciced to leave it's place.
CHECK ALL FASTENERS ON A REGULAR BASIS!
