Thomas Spagnoli: workshop approach for Aprilia RSV1000 voltage present until pump is connected then drops
My workshop rule for Aprilia RSV1000 voltage present until pump is connected then drops is simple: prove the basic condition first, then decide whether the clever part is actually needed.
If the result changes hot versus cold, or under load versus idle, write that down. Those conditions are not noise; they are clues.
If you are new to this, join the free Motorcycle Mechanics Course on the platform. I made it to explain the workshop logic behind cases like Aprilia RSV1000 voltage present until pump is connected then drops, not just to list random parts.
Bring one result at a time and the forum can narrow it down properly. That is how a thread becomes a real workshop note.
Update: I am going to start with the measurements instead of ordering parts tonight. My wallet already looks relieved. I will post the exact result, even if the answer ends up being embarrassingly simple.
