Brian north 2 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Hey I'm a newbie here and to the Moto guzzie world. Bike cuts at 3-5000 rpm for a split second. The tach drops to zero but instantly fires back up. Other problem is there are no mechanics who work on guzzie in my area. I appreciate any and all help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomchri 319 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Have you checked the charging, special the 2 bullet connectors from the stator ? what kind of relays ? EVERY electrical connection on the bike needs to be checked and treated with Caig Deoxit or similar. What does your 30amp fuse look like, the green one ? Could be quite a few things, but don't worry , you are definitely on the right place to get sorted. Welcome to the forum, and shortly someone a lot more electrical than me will come along.

GuzziMoto 295 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 That sounds like an electrical issue. Check connections, as mentioned. Also, check your ignition switch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rolf Halvorsen 31 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 I suspect that the ignition sensor in front left og the engine is bad. Have seen similar behavior before. Article number is 01721600. The distance between the sensor head and the entrance should be aroung 0,5 - 0,7mm. Thin alunimum sheets help to get this correct. You also need a new O-ring to seal it against moist. Chime in if you need more details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian north 2 Posted November 13 Author Report Share Posted November 13 Well I'm pretty sure the bike is good. Checked ignition switch and everything was good. Unplugged powercommander and swapped 5 relay for 3 relay. Hit the road for one hell of a great ride. I love this bike. Thank you for all the help. I'm sure I'll be asking more questions 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lucky Phil 1,681 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 The most important question with any form of running issue.......Is it fitted with a Power Commander? Ciao 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
docc 3,145 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 Heh, yeah, I took my relay post down because I thought it might just confuse the issue(s). Could have been just the PC, Brian north. Otherwise, the V11 is probably better thought of as a journey, or a process, rather than a series of problems and repairs. Tell us more about the "01 v11 s" . . . how long have you had it, miles on it, other modifications . . . You know, the important stuff, like, is it silver? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fotoguzzi 202 Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 As too relays, the factory stock Siemens relay were notoriously bad. If still in there replace them all. A good source in the states is dpguzzi.com. (Pyro Dan) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck 1,391 Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 I *like* Pyro Dan, and his relays are very good. That said, for the V11S, Omrons are more better. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
