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 .

Being the most inept mechanic in the known world, I was screwing around on my '98 California EV. My V11 Sport and Ducati perhaps in the shop from now through eternity. So the taillights and turn signals intermittently fail. I've diagnosed (Lord help me) the problem to the fuse. It's just doesn't make good contact. So occasionally I have to reset or wiggle it, clean it with contact cleaner. Yesterday I went through the same drill. So today I decided to clean all the fuses and relays with DeOxit and contact cleaner. I replaced the fuses and relays a few years ago. They're all identical (15A). All cleaned up and randomly put them to their respective slots. And I never got the taillight/turn signals to ever work. (Brake light is fine). I play with all of them, reclean, move them around for perhaps an hour. Nothing. As last ditch effort I pull an old fuse, different brand, perhaps one I pulled out in the first place. And it works. Like magic. Not content, I find another one. An old fuse that is corroded and worn. Works fine. OK, What the heck? Someone tell me.

No idea docc. I haven't actually experienced a blown fuse in years and years. Phil

Except a broken cable. Phil

That looks pretty sharp ! I hope it serves you well. Did they recommend any maintenance on the seat leather ?

Have a friend move the fast idle "lever" at the bars and YOU watch what goes on at the r.h. throttle body . Look at all these linkages and see what needs to be done . There is nothing under the fuel tank for you to see or have any affect on the fast idle mechanism .

Between the cable attachment and the adjustable contact cam, the high idle mechanism on the bottom of the right throttle body has a lot of adjustability . . .

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!
