thanks, that would be an easy fix.

Wow @Kiwi_Roy  —the diagram saved me a lot of headache. My V11 wouldn’t start. I have a few bikes, all are older than this one. I had not ridden the V11 for a couple of months. It wouldn’t start. I suspected a fuse and this diagram was a big help. But embarrassingly enough I noticed “clutch switch” and problem was solved! User error!

You need to print these diagrams (multiple) and study them . I have mine in a folder near where iI sit along with w/11x20 exploded wiring diagrams .

A good exercise for me was to "extract" the starter circuit myself. Helped me understand what is happening there a lot. 

[gstallons]

it is not a "one step" operation .

The Starter solenoid draws a lot of current 40 - 50 Amps so it will blow a 15 Amp fuse after a few seconds.

Actually on most Guzzi's the solenoid current is limited by bad joints dirty contacts and wimpy wires.

The solenoid itself draws that much? iirc the starter itself draws ~80A in good condition.

Connect a small 12 Volt lamp between the starter solenoid trigger terminal and chassis, Does it turn on when you press Start?

With the key turned On does the headlight turn On, it should then go Off when you press Start
