yeah, it would be helpful if they were properly labeled, but that's the way it came. What do you recommend. should I start fresh and replace them all?

is this the battery you guys were talking about? http://www.batterymart.com/p-odyssey-pc545-battery.html?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=ComparisonShopping Does anyone know the dimensions of the battery? I know it's not the same as my suzuki.

I'd like to ask another question, since you guys have been so helpful. I'm not sure yet, but I think the previous owner might be taking me for a ride. If so, does anyone know a good guzzi shop in New York City. I'm in queens but can go to brooklyn...manhattan if i must. also, how does the steering damper work? The previous owner said it would stop the bars from smacking tank, but the fork touches the left side of the tank when turned all the way left and the tip of the right handlebar just touches on the right. I notice a difference in tension from side to side when I adjust the damper, but should it stop it from touching the tank?

My Dyslexia strikes again. I know blade fuses, it's the relays I don't know.

Ask, and ye shall receive. http://www.thisoldtractor.com/guzzi007/sportissimo.html Many thanks to Carl Allison, who made the schematics and Greg Bender, who hosts the site. Cheers, Jason PS- use a small needle-nose pliers to remove the blade-type fuses. Also, check the charging voltage when you get the bike started again. It doesn't sound like it could be a relay problem. This is awesome. Thank you so much!

Thanks man. I'll check that out.

Hey Docc, Thanks a bunch. I'll take a look in the morning. I actually figured the relays, and replaced the 30 (it was melted) and to no avail. Still clicking away. Hopefully a battery replace will do the trick. the previous owner is giving me a brand new battery if it is the issue. I do have a volt meter, but it's out on loan. of course, when you need it. As for the fuses, do you know which one i should be checking? I believe there are 5 or 6. can't remember off the top of my head. How do you check these types of fuses? I'm used to the glass tube ones. The plastic boxes don't seem to have a noticeable indicator. Thanks again! -ryan

hi all. I'm new here. Just purchased a 2001 v11 sport and I'm having an issue with her. The first few days it was riding fine, but would cut out mid-ride every once in a while, until it cut out and wouldn't start. had to push it almost 2 miles home. When I put the key in the start position, the lights all turn on, but when i push the starter it makes a rapid clicking sound when I try to start it. The guy I bought it from has been very helpful. He says it could be the battery, the relays or possibly the generator fuse. How do I check if any of these guesses are correct? Where do I look for the generator fuse and the relays? I'm completely new to Guzzis and pretty new to bike. Don't know much yet.If you don't think any of these are the issues, can you let me know if you can think of anything else that could be ailing her? Also, does anyone know where I can find schematics for the bike? A pdf manual or something? Thanks you, -ryan I attached a picture of her below
