Hi gstallons...in progress...into the shop on 11/24....

Hi Gmc28, replacing the battery on 11/24 then into the shop for hopefully much of what has already been mentioned and alluded to in your post. The tricky part is lost in translation moments with the shop. They seem to only do what's on the order form and not kind of follow through with a noticed problem seeking a solution. My problem. The V11 was in the shop for 8 months, just released in July this year and now she is going back in (sigh). Will keep the forum updated!

HI gstallons...No, not yet. I am having a talk to a service shop tomorrow and have translated many of these posts to Japanese to give the shop a little info in the hope they too can help. Cheers, David

Okay gentlemen, thank you so much for the guidance here. A volt-meter check a few months ago suggested it was charging okay while running; but obviously not. Maybe the battery was already damaged. So, I will start with the charging system and voltage regulator check, with new battery if necessary. At the same time check the plugs and po18guy's multi-pin connector cleaning. There is enough here to keep me going for a while. Cheers to you all, David

Hi all, a newbie to this forum. A brief run-down of the history here; She has been running nicely (for a bit), but after about an hour she coughs, splutters and dies at idle or at the traffic lights if I am not 'on' the throttle. I have recently replaced all fuel hoses through a Guzzi dealer and added a new lithium battery and she has been starting first push of the button. Last week I took her out and again, after about an hour or about 30km in traffic, she coughed, spluttered and completely died. A battery voltage check on the road side read '0' volts, so I trucked her home, recharged the battery to full and tried again to start her. Now, she has power, but struggles to start...she cuts out quick and has a backfire. There also seems to be a strong gas smell after attempting to start. Any help from you wise men out there would be greatly appreciated. David
