rev counter is fixed. I bought a new one to day...

And I have to deal with it. Changed the wiring harness today, but same problem remains. And I have a new problem: no rev. counter anymore. Checked the connection, but thats fine. Anyone idea's?

I like this explanation, because everything is quite normal then...

Mmm, sounds weird. That thing should be charging about 2k RPM's? But you have learned to live with it? Where did you get that real-tme indicator thing?

Thx for the reaction. I have a new Silent Hektik voltage regler, that has a wire for grounding. So it's not the housing of the regulator that gives ground as with the original from ducati. Also when I put this wire directly to the minus pole of the battery, there's no charging indicator light... Only when I put the lights on or something, so that the voltage of the battery is lowering, the charging light suddently appears (when the bike is not running).

Did read all the stuff here, and I'm happy not to be alone with electrical problems. I'm trying to solve a problem with my charging indicator. The strange thing is that that indicator doesnt show up if I turn the key. But when I put on the headligts or use the brake on the same moment the charging indicator light suddently comes up. When I start the engine, the indicator is going out again as it should be and the battery is charging. I've put on another voltage regulator, but that did not solve the problem. T he charging indicator has two wires. The blue wire goes to the regulator. When you turn on contact, this wire should give ground. But I measure 12.8 volt. Anyone an idea? I did buy a second hand wiring harness on ebay, to solve this and all the other problems I had in the past, but there should be an explanation

Bought on ebay another wiring harness, hope this will solve all the vague electrical problems I had the last couple of months... I shall report about it!

The charging bulb gets his ground from the regulator, so this not the same ground as the other dashboard bulbs.

I tried that already, but that didn't work out. Besides, the charge indicator gets his ground from the voltage regulator (the blue wire). Or am I wrong??

I've done that for some time, but now I really want to solve it. There should be some reason for it????

Heavy bar ends (ordered by Moto International) worked very well here too!

Sorry for my bad translation. I mean the sign on the dashbord, with the picture of the battery on it.

Again some electrical problems with my v11 sport from 2000. And a very strange one! When I switch on the ignition of the bike, the charging indicator light doesn't show up. Then, when I put on the lights or use the brake, the indicaor shows up after a little while. After I have starten the bike, the indicator does go out again, as it should be. And the machine is charging. I have already checked all the wirings, but couldn't find anything that looked suspicious to me. I already changed the battery and put another voltage regulator on, but that didn't help either. Changed some relays, also didn't work. I made an alternative connecition with another bulb (between the blue wire of the regulator and ground), but the same thing happens. Somebody any ideas about this strange behavior of my bike???

I'm back on the road again. How's your v11-problem?

Yeah! Guzzi is running again! The second new ECU (second hand) is working! Motor is running fine. Thx all for your help!

I checked all the sensors in the circuit, they have all the right values. What can I check on the output?

Went with both ecu's to the dealer, neither of them did work in his Guzzi's. Ordered me a new second hand one on ebay. Shall try it first in another bike, than stick it very carefully in mine...

Who is Cliff? Sounds good anyway.

Mmm, I thought of that too, but also doubting if it was necessary. But now I hear this, I certanly do!

Thx, you look like someone who knows what he's doing with the ecu's! I went with both the ducati ecu and my own v11 ecu to the dealers, to test them in a bike of his. With both ECU's no running fuelpump. So my ECU is broken down (tested it now into two bikes) and I don't trust the ducati ECU either (tested it also on two bikes). So that one is going back. I bought one on ebay now, from a V11. That one should work! Let you know when I got it.

No, I didn't find anyone with a v11 ecu nearby who dares... And personally I agree on that, because maybe mine is an ecu-eater... I hope the dealer can help, see him on wednesday.

I didn't expect the bike to run with the ducati ecu, but I hoped the fuelpump would run. The ecu is exacly the same as a v11 one, an IAW15M, only the software on it is different. I'll try the dealer to do some measurements.

Very strange this ecu-thing. Checked my ecu in another v11 and also that bike was not running. So I thought it's the ecu, stupid! But then I bought a second hand one from a ducati monster and put it on my bike. But no running! Grr. Maybe this one is also broken down (I can change it), but that's curious. So something els is wrong too. Checked all the sensors, all ok. Checked the ground cables, ok too. Sell the bike? Shout at him / her? Maybe i should check the ecu at the dealer's.

Yeah, I know. But second hand they are affordable, better than no firing...

I measure 680 ohm!
