WOW. Thanks for all the input guys. Finally got back to the forum. Haven't been able to address the issue as yet I've got a major reshuffle of my workshop and work commitments have me working most weekends. Wife needs the area for her fish breeding hobby. As it makes money and my work shop doesn't so economics wins out. In answer to LUHBO I’ve a really good Guzzi tech Tommy Newell (Don Newell Motorcycles) however this has him stumped as well. And yes it’s good riding season. But to be honest here in Queensland it’s always good weather to ride. Just as a side note sometimes the issue is strange. I can't seem to determine common factors. As an example I rode to work almost every day last week (100klms round trip) and after the first day no issues, started fine. This week every, every day the gremlin appeared!!. Often once the bike has been running she starts fine, other days it will play up every time or it will occur intermittently.

That's Kiwi_Roy I will try the bypass. Unfortunately I'm on my night shift swing and not in the best frame of mind for electrics. Excuse my ignorance but what is a PM? Regards Bob K

Oops sorry should have said starting Solenoid Bob K

Hi, I own a 2002 V11 naked sport which I purchased new and have clocked up 150000kklms. Since new it has displaced the classic won’t start symptom. When the starter button is pressed all I get is a clicking sound much like the starter relay cannot engage the starter. Occasionally I have got nothing. To date I have bypassed the side stand switch, replaced the right hand switch assembly, checked and cleaned all connections,(finally removing the bullet connections under the tank LH side) regularly replace the relays (which occasionally rectified the problem). Had the battery and charging system checked all fine. However the problem isn’t improving. During a casual discussion with a mechanic at work he suggested the stating relay maybe the issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated Regards Bob K
