When I checked my transmission shaft (bevel) of the v11 sport, I found out that it could slide a bit on both rods. As well on the side of the transmission housing as on the side of the gearbox the shaft can move about half a centimeter over the rods. Is this a normal movement, or is it time for a new shaft? I think the shaft should only shift in the middle. I'm a right? The cross coupling on the oyher hand looks very well. Huub

I installed the new fuseholder for the 30 A fuse, and I think the problem is solved. My battery is charging well, so I think I can do without a new regulator. I didn't go for a testdrive yet, because I dont have the registration of the bike fixed. I imported the bike from another country, so I have to do some paperwork first. But thank you all for helping. I also have a mechanical guestion about the rear transmission, but I shall open a new topic for it. Huub check out: www.guzziside.com

Thx for your reactions, I will first try the new fuse-holder, I've already bought one. The regulator seems to load, in the short time that I could test it with my multimeter (before my fuse was melting). I will certanly do more tests when I have the new fuse-holder installed. I'm certainly a rookie on this site, but not that new with Guzzi's. I ride a le mans II too, and before the VII sport I had also a sp1000 (with a sidecar). So I know a little bit about the electric of Guzzi's... java script:emoticon('',%20'smid_4') I hoped the V11 sport was a bit more reliable, but there are many, many items on electric on this forum... java script:emoticon('',%20'smid_23') I shall report my results!

Thx a lot! When I read this, I think I have to clean the fuse-block. Or better, install a new fuse-holder for the 30A fuse. I'll let you all know if that's working! Huub PS: check www.guzziside.com

Help, After starting the engine of my v11 sport several times and using the throttle to warm the bike up, the fuse (F3, of the battery recharger) melts, but doesn't fail. The fuse still works, but looks very crumpled. I've the bike just a few days. Anyone an idea? Is it the voltage regulator? Or just bad contacts? Huub
