  2. Yes I am almost certain the coil is being erratic. Yesterday again it would not fire, even with engine starter and it was very humid out. I talked to a guy at the bar who said he had a similar thing happen to him, whenever it was cool and or humid out, his bike would not fire, it was his coil. That's where I'm headed next
  3. @docc, all lights come on, engine turns, pump turns on. Update: No water in the tank. Nothing is clogged. Was able to ride yesterday but today won't start again, not even start with engine starter, so assuming no spark. Will be checking the coil next, it might be having some issue where it's erratic and the sparkplugs might be firing sporadically.
  4. UPDATE: A couple days ago got the bike to start with engine starter spray, also sprayed some carb cleaner in there in case there was some sludge buildup. I noticed there was some gasoline spewing out of the air intakes. Rode it around that evening. Yesterday morning early the bike started up ok and rode it several times during the day. This morning its a lot cooler and humid and the bike will not start again, so there has to be a time factor. Thank you GuzziMoto and fotoguzzi, I will check for water in the tank.
  5. Two weeks ago I started having issues with my 00 v11 sport. It would not start. My bike sits outside with a cover, we had a big rain and I figured there might be something wet. So I let it sit for a couple of nice hot dry days and voila, it fired up, with a bit of effort but it did. After that it would not fire up unless it was sitting in the sun for a while, so I figured maybe the humidity and cooler morning weather was creating some kind of short in a wire or something. So I would just wait and then ride. After a week the bike seemed to be normal again. I rode it a three days ago and in the middle of the ride it started bogging down, giving it gas would not accelerate and finally when I would hit the clutch it would die. Parked on the side of the road, waited 10 seconds or so and it would fire back up right away like nothing ever happened. This happened two days in a row, once per hour ride. We had another rain yesterday and it got a bit wet while it was outside when I was at a friends house. It has not been able to start since. The strange thing is: it turns over and I have the clutch in and cut off switch off so the basics are covered. The pump comes on. The battery is fully charged. I have new spark plugs. The K&N air filters have been cleaned and oiled recently, but I tried with these off and still nothing. The bike had a power commander but I took it off so it's back to standard and it did run while it was off. Bike riding friends and a couple bike shops (who don't want to touch guzzis) said it could be a wire shorting out or water in the fuel filter or the tank. Has anyone experienced this before? Suggestions from symptoms?
