    Help needed with RGV250.

    Hey guys,

    Somehow I have just found a free RGV250 here in Lae Papua New Guinea.

    Its in bits but all there, thought I'd have a fiddle with it as there aint much to do here....

    Can anyone help with why it wouldnt have any spark, any known problems with these? It has recently had a full rebuild.

    Thanks for your help!

    Have you done the basics including a full battery?

    RGV's are a hot, bitch mistress. Good score, make sure you bring it home.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Yeah, the guy who gave it to me said he had tried everything he could think off... I havnt touched it yet. Will probably put it all back together with a new battery and some clean gas and start from there.

    Provided your battery works, No spark is either the sapc (computer) or coils
    Check these - if its neither of them, its the pickup

    First things first, take all fairings off and check all the wiring, make sure everythings plugged in where its supposed to be
    Confident the aprilia rsv4, IS the one
