Cutting out, redux

[Bob Maynard]

Cliff notes:  What’s the procedure for servicing the ignition switch?

My Sport has recently been cutting out, progressively getting worse. I’ve followed the recent thread addressing this problem and since I’ve been lifting the top triple multiple times for several bar changes, I thought the ignition switch would be the right place to start.  First time it cut out/stuttered  was after a right turn leaving my driveway. 

Looking at the switch in the picture, any tips on servicing it? TIA.

So, push in the white catch tabs all around to separate the switch. The contacts and wiring will reveal themselves.

Thanks Docc, the switch didn’t look bad, just a little worn at main contact. I need to finish mounting stock clipons and test ride it. Then on to the relay mounts if issue continues.

Well, the poor running continues.

And the winner is the relay contacts. After pulling out and reinserting all the relays it’s running well again. Time tomorrow to clean all the contacts and take for a longer shake down ride. Good for my lower back to be back on the stock bars. Thanks again to this forum and it’s members.

Bob, did you secure the wires coming out from the switch ?  IPA time here  

Cheers tom

No, they were zip tied for strain relief inside the black bottom cap of the switch and didn’t appear to need securing near the steering head. However, I did find a MG rubber cable tie on the floor while doing all the cable rerouting after handlebar removal.

Any suggestions for placement?

if you haven't already Bob, see to the troublesome bullet connectors on the left side at the neck while you're in the harness.

Haha, well Moto Guzzi doesn't use many security ties for the harness and such. I see this little rubber tie on the clutch side to gather the various elements . . .
