Yeah as above!

Picked up my 2004 RSV Mille on Friday morning, rode it back from Tamworth and then rode it to work.

The handling is awesome, the sound is awesome, the ride is awesome.

The Starter relay solenoid is not so awesome.

It gave up on me that night while i was at work and i had to be recovered by the AA man.

D-Rider popped over from Cov at about midnight, stripped the tail end and identified the problem and suggested a yamaha replacement to boot.

However i can't get the part until Tuesday so the bike is now sitting around and looking pretty but not much else.

Burn

Shame about the prob, but at least nothing major.

This thread is nothing without pictures..

Shame about the wassaname.. Once you've got it sorted, you'll have to pop over..

Don't need pics - I've seen it and heard it .... and heard the alarm (some clown set it off outside Matt's house about midnight ....)

Looks a nice bike and a nice pair of shotguns on it too.

Starter relay is a bit of a PITA .... bit of an unfortunate start to Italian biking - particularly with so many warning Matt off of them! .... once this is fixed there's quite a reputation to restore.

Some dodgy wiring too that needs sorting .... but it's a nice bike - in fact with it parked alongside Steph's 'blade they've an impressive couple of bikes between them.

Dodgy wiring removed entirely, starter relay replaced. Bike is epic.

Great news, glad its all sorted

Pictures Matthew!!

Woo Hoo !

Btw will a K6 Gixxer thou sidestand fit my bike? D-Rider says they fit the Falco but i want to be sure before i buy one of ebay.

Pictures to follow when i take some

As said on farcebook dude.. They'll fit, but with a little modification. If you can get it to me ASAP, i'll sort it with the other two i've got waiting

The Honda Fireplace side stand (2004 I think) is a direct replacement on the Mille.
