I'm selling my 2002 V11 LeMans because I just don't seem to ride it very much anymore. It's an all stock bike except it has a roper sloppage plate installed. It runs great but has a quirk: the battery charge indicator light comes on from time to time. I don't really see the pattern to the light but tends to come on only at idle or low engine speeds. Not sure if it's the voltage regulator or what. Moto International told me not to worry about it and ride on which is what I did. The bike has about 13,500 miles on it and is located in Seattle, WA. It has the gray tank/red fairing color scheme. The tires are in very good condition as they have less than 2k miles on them. It's ready for a good home. Looking for $5000 USD OBO. Thanks! Mike H.

Thanks for your ideas. Interestingly, a pattern is now developing where I could not discern one in the past. Now it seems that this light will come on after every start and will turn off about 1-2 minutes into the ride. Funny how it's gotten to be more predictable. I wonder if that will make it easier to determine the problem. Could the battery be low? It cranks a bit slow at times. I might put it on my tender and see.

Hehe thanks! I feel like a lucky guy. I actually got the charcoal tank with red (or is it maroon) fairing. I like that color scheme the best. Thanks for the tips. I absolutely know Moto International but mostly from my Breva 750 days of old. I've been rekindling my relationship with them lately and really do think they are the best. I'm glad to be back in the fold. I don't think this light issue is a huge deal but would love for it never to come on. My Breva always had cranking problems in the winter which I attributed to a weak battery and subsequently a weak charging system. I wonder if the LeMans has a weak charging system too? I also wonder if this current issue could be related to the voltage regulator? I've heard the early ones are dodgy and tend to failure.

Hello All, I'm new to this forum and to the 2002 LeMans. I purchased this bike and immediately rode it from San Francisco to Seattle. It performed marvelously. The only thing I really noticed was that the charge indicator light would come on from time to time. Didn't see much of a pattern to it but it was more likely to come on soon after starting. It would remain on for no longer than 1 minute per incident. Anyone seen anything like this and know why it is? Thanks. Mike
