Hi Docc, Here the photos of the sleeping brother (Le Mans) and sister (Norge). MikeDelta

Dears, Last week I brought home a sister for my V11 Le Mans, I introduce you my 2007 Norge 1200 32000km. Tested only for 300km, but very nice , I like it. Inviato dal mio UMI eMAX utilizzando Tapatalk

Thanks, I'll arrange that. Normally I grease the outer of the connections once in place not the two faces in direct contact. I undestand It was a mistake. MikeDelta

Thanks Roy, I'll check first the bolt if it could be a reliable spot , otherwise there is the finn option. What about the gouge of the strap, how thin or heavy should be the wire for properly doing its role? MikeDelta

I've got the importance of an additional ground strap from the voltage regulator case to the engine and I'm plannining to put and additional strap on my 2002 V11 Le Mans. What is not so obvious to me is why to drill a hole on one finn instead of using the existing fixing bolt of the frame/case.. MikeDelta

Today I rode back home the bike from the workshop. A 300km trip, the bike run well , even smoother than last summer when it was hot. A joy to ride. A minor imperfection was the rev gauge with a misty glass, when I hauled her the rain was terrible. But it solved itself near home. On the way I stopped in Sirmione on the Garda lake, a nice and ancient town even back to the Romans. I enclose the photos. MikeDelta

Gents, The shop contacted me this afternoon after solving the problem. The connectors under the fuse box had one connection recessed from its position. It was a time consuming research. Could be that the bike was defective from the factory or the previous owner worked on that connection for some reasons. Has someone already experienced it? MikeDelta

Thanks, As the rest of the bike electrical system is working properly I assume that the battery is correctly connected. I contacted the dealer, who sold the bike, for sorting out the problem. MikeDelta

No, I haven't check if the light is on when the key is on. the green neutral gear and the two reds are on , as normal. Cranking 1red switchs off. MikeDelta

Dears, This afternoon I took off the Ecu and connected 30 and 87 in relay 5 listening to the fuel pump, but nothing happend. I havent investigated further with the multimeter, I realize that is time to think about a workshop. As I'm courious I enclose two photos of what is under the Ecu. There are two bullets connectors (female if I remember correctly) not conncted and another wire with a black cap. Do you know what thet are for? Thanks MikeDelta

I'm on a 2 weeks business trip, never tried any attemp so far. Thanks to Roy I got how to test/star the pump from the relay bay and disconnect the ECU before. I Will also disconnect the 30 Amp fuse while charging the battery in the future. MikeDelta

Thanks to all, I need now to find the time for putting in place suggestions. MikeDelta

Thanks for suggestions. The pump does not prime, I haven't realized that it works for one or two seconds as it stays absolutely silent. Can a failed Ecu have any influence on the problem. The bike run perfectly till it was switched off 1 month ago. In the meantime I have only taken the fuel tank off a few times for fitting the tank cover in the best way. MikeDelta

Thanks, I took the opportunity for additional maintenance changing the fuel filter, partially the fuel hoses, cheking the fuel pump off the the bike and it works well. But on the bike it is dead. Fuses are ok. Unfortunately I've finished the time to spend on it, hopefully again on the week end with your suggestions. MikeDelta

Thanks to everybody for your help. In order: I cleaned and thightened the bullet connectors as part of the general cleaning. The petcock is manual altough a strange one, is a sort of screw that needs a few turn to close. Anyway it works. I didn't explain myself well, the starting motor was turning the engine correctly. It should mean that the kill switch is ok as well the side stand switch, am I correct? I suspect the fuel pump is gone as any noise from its body with the switch on and any gas smell arond the bike after insisting a little with the starting motor. MikeDelta

Hi, The battery is fully charged and is Ok. According to the workshop manual I have , the last to relays (towards the back of the bike) are about the fuel system. As they are identical, I exchanged them with no results. MikeDelta

Dears, I joined recently the forum as I'm a recent Guzzi owner. Used only a few time but for a 1500 kms in total, I love the bike, After a month long stop, I dissassembled it a little for mounting a Tank Cover, a Rack and a good cleaning. Then, when I tried to start the bike, I haven't tried before doing the job, the engine did not start. I noticed that non noise came from the fuel pump, two clicks from the relay bay were clearly audible when the key was turned on. Any suggestion? Thanks I take the opportunity of enclosing pictures of my bike.
