I'm a big fan of High Current (right now: Picker Components) relays. Get the correct ones: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/picker-components/PC782-1C-12S-R-X/12352866

What type battery is in it? Is that the voltage across the battery terminals, as well? For an AGM battery like the Hawker Odyssey native to the V11, 12.09v is quite dead and should be "conditioned." A fully charged AGM is 12.84v. This recovery cannot be accomplished on a low amperage "trickle" charger. Time to assess your battery and charging system . . .

What is the tenth character in the VIN?

See? Right there, "a pure and crystalline sanity."

There is this smoke-containment magic (just don't get it on any of the waterproof seals) . . .

Let's ask the other inmates on the ward if this represents a pure and crystalline sanity.

Let's ask the other inmates on the ward if this really crazy.

"High Water Everywhere" . . .

I have seen more Tyco failures in V11 than any other relay. Worth getting a full set (5) of High Current 5-pin relays and see if "problem solved." https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/picker-components/PC782-1C-12S-R-X/12352866

What kind of relays are under the seat (especially in the last position #5)?

Wrong place in Florida tonight could get you a Squid Tattoo . . . Such a Leonard Cohen vibe . . . . . . . so dark, mixed with too much real . . .

The newest Moto Guzzi I can find on that Moto International/Seattle, Washington, USA, website is 2013 . . . Maybe our PNW members can help with the current status of this iconic Moto Guzzi dealer . . . Is it is, or is it ain't?

If you come to Tennessee, those are the guys that will turn around to come back and help you jack up your blown out tire, jump off your dead battery, and give you water while they "keep the wolves away".

These are OMRON G8HE 5-pin relays? Let's check that battery voltage and the connections beneath Fuses #1 an d #2 before going further (toward the Ignition Switch) . . .

FWIW, I checked in with our friends in Tellico Plains, Tennessee, (location of the South'n SpineRaid) and all is well. Lots of rain from Helene, but no damage.

Progress! What type/ make of battery is in the bike? Check your battery voltage with a voltmeter and post the voltage.

Prying up the fuse block will let you inspect these hidden spade connectors to Fuse #1 and #2. Make certain they are clean and tight. The Caig Deoxit® @Pressureangle referenced is highly desirable for every connection you open and reseat.

As weather reports go, say hello to Milton . . .

Also, the recurring theme of electric vehicles bursting into flames in salt water inundation. Real stuff, for sure. https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/hurricane-helene-fires-salt-water-and-lithium-ion-batteries-still-dont-mix/?hashed_email=b4b94022c1bd45a1fa61becf3ab2e64665eaea4bd3297978c54e145dd672e019&dtm_em=b4b94022c1bd45a1fa61becf3ab2e64665eaea4bd3297978c54e145dd672e019

I'm going to kick off the replies by saying this is exactly what makes our forum tick. There will be some experienced and expert replies coming along to make certain your LeMans is delightful and roadworthy, again, @Sporticus ! First, what kind of relays are under the seat, especially in the very back (Position 5)? This could come down to changing to the best High Current relays presently available . . . https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/picker-components/PC782-1C-12S-R-X/12352866

Moto International in Seattle no longer exists.

There is a big, red reminder on my V11 file that reads: * INSPECT FILTER GASKET ! A reminder that the old filter gasket can stick in the motor and compromise oil pressure. Always insure the old gasket came out with the filter you remove.

"I want to apologize for this in advance" . . . (not exactly kumbaya) Ughughughhooo . . . .
