Lol, yah I checked and no drops so far.

Ok but I'm using just a substitute battery for now as the one that came with the bike is dead. The bike was supposed to have been running within the last 3 months. The gas smells ok but I'll be flushing the tank and lines anyway

Thank you! Are there target voltages for each condition I should be looking for?

I agree that maybe the zip tied battery cables should be bolted and so I'll do that. I'll look for those relays as well. Thanks for the tips!

Yes, happy to post more pictures! I think the previous owner was a caring one. There is battery tender wiring and not shown is a very complete tool kit I removed to check things out. The janky-est thing I can see of the wiring is my makeshift jumping of the battery cables while I wait for the correct size battery.

Wow I had no idea there were new ones available that cheaply. I could swear I did a search on their site and came up empty, but when I entered the part number you gave it came right up. Thank you! My only concern is that it states fitment for 1999 through 2005, and I thought there was a difference between the fitment for 2001 and 2002. I'll definitely check it out, though, especially as AF1 is just 5 miles from my office.

Excellent - thank you Pressureangle!

Thank you footgoose! I bought a bunch of 5 pin relays from a source noted on Wildguzzi for my 1998 California. I understand that I can replace both the 5 pin and 4 pin relays with 5 pins on the 98, so maybe I can on the Lemans as well? I'll give it a try but first switch with the #3 relay. All the relays appear to be in excellent condition with no corrosion (unlike my 98). I don't know the relay brand but will check when I get home from work later today.

This may need to go to the Introductions thread, but I have the issue of getting it started and also looking for a seat, so I thought I'd put it here and move it if needed. I bought this LeMans on Friday at an estate sale auction. I now have 10 Moto Guzzi's, 6 purchased as a package, and hope to par down the herd as I get to know them better. I think this one will definitely be a keeper! My 7 year old daughter and number 1 co-pilot Haley agrees! I am trying to get it started, but am getting nothing other than lights, horn, etc. When I turn the ignition to on, I get a red light, no neutral light, and no fuel pump prime. I've tried with the kickstand up and down, clutch in, verified 'run' switch is on etc., but still nothing. I see there are some very good threads here regarding no-start issues, and I'll be following them, but wanted to throw this out there in case I'm overlooking something. Also, I understand there is a 'startus interruptus' mod that I assume is some sort of kill switch? If someone is familiar with that I'd like to know more so that I can verify whether this bike has it. Also, as the pictures show, I need a replacement seat or source for a cover and will be posting a wanted ad for this shortly. And finally, I bought the bike in Albuquerque, NM. If anyone is familiar with this machine or its former owner I'd love to hear from them. Thanks!
