RGV250 rebuild?

[Sable]

In my current inebriated state I find this thread highly amusing.

i've had an rgv250 great little bike but what a headache it was! when it was running well it went like a rocket but there was something always wrong with it!!

the problems i had were all related to the electrics, blowing regulators, powervalve servos, shit like that!

i kept throwing cash at it untill i got pissed off and sold it.

the aprillia rs250 has the same engine but none of the shitty suzuki electrics.

The Suzuki electrics aren't 'shitty'; judging a bike on your own lack of competence in maintaining it isn't very fair.

lol i own an aprilia rs250.. italian electrics leave a lot to be desired.. I'd be keener on the jap stuff myself!! lol

I've recently been through an RGV250 loom, and the only faults I found were added after manufacturer... i.e. thicko lazy kiwis butchering it instead of doing things properly.

The SAPC is about as rugged as something like that can get... there's nothing flash or breakable in it (unless you physically break the whole thing), it's not like an NSR250 where they fry themselves internally. The PV motor assembly is 5 wires... 2 for the PV motor, and 3 for the position sensor feed back loop... so a pot and a motor, that's it. If you can't figure out exactly how that works you're a thicko. As far as the regulator goes... one can only assume it's was yet another badly maintained bike and the earths were dirty. The important connectors are sealed, everything else is basically common to every other Jap bike.

They're so damn simple there's just nothing to break on them.
