Battery charge warning light

[Janusz]

My 2001 V11s battery charge warning light does not work. I changed the bulb twice and no help.

Alternator is charging, battery OK.

Any suggestions how to diagnose/repair? I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Does your oil light come on with the ignition switch?

[Janusz]

Yes, the oil light works. After I stop the engine and turn on the ignition only right away the light does not come on, but after couple of minutes it comes on with ignition and extinguishes when engine is started.

It is a residue oil pressure I suppose.

No, the only thing is "no charging light" never comes on.

What relays are you running?

[Janusz]

The first one (starter?) is Bosh - slightly bigger then other ones which are original factory relays black in color.

The Bosh is grey.

Some years ago I took off alternator cover off to repaint it. Is it possible I've pinched some wire? It is possible this charging light did not work since then, I practically did not run the bike for 11 years. By year 2011 I had 45,700 km on it, now is 46,800 km. I bought it new in 2002.

I have it insured now and enjoy almost like a new bike.
