Regulator/alternator location Sport Naked

[skibum69]

Can someone take a photo and show me where the regulator/rectifier and alternator are on the V11 Sport Naked? Thanks

Alternator is under the round cover on the front of the motor. (Yours is likely silver and not so beat up as mine looks . . . ):

Looks like this under the cover (potential wire attachment failure circled):

Regulator is the finned, rectangular silver box "usually" mounted below the oil cooler between the horns:

Happens mine is on the bench waiting for new regulator to come. 
First is assembly, bracket horns regulator
Second is bracket placement on frame. Hard to see behind mounted oil cooler.

The Moto Guzzi charging system consists of two states : Havin' trouble or fixin' to have trouble !

Quite likely a good place to put it, but it should be mentioned that one or two things on your bike aren't quite original.

I think I have a rectifier problem as it didn't seem t be charging last ride. I was just going to do a check in it according to the manual.

If that's what it looks like it might be under the seat.

As so often, first question is what relays are under the seat now?

[skibum69]

So according to docc it's not this one?

This looks like a row of relays etc.

It is. Hard to see what they are. 5-6 new ones probably a good idea. Clean everything, and make sure the relays sit tight. Some Caig Deoxit in there to. Think I woud relocate seat release wire to.

Cheers Tom.

That's the ECU (Engine Control Unit), if that was the question.

Good eye. @Tomchri!

YES! @skibum69, groom that seat release cable back behind the relays and secure it with zip-tie! That is a TERRIBLE location for the cable wedged between the ECU relay and the Fuel/Ignition relay!
