Finished with the paint treatment, Car Pro.

Put the tank on and wanted to hear her running. No fuel pump, WHAT. Usual round, direct juice to the pump= working, but no juice in the connector, ended up with, no juice in fuse 2. 2 red feeding wires underneath, have juice. All 4 male connectors underneath are actually move able? So thought bad conection.

Probably possible to take apart with some dynamite.

Suddenly a miracle in top floor, SIDESTAND. Back together and runs Very good. Ha ha

Cheers Tom.

So the sidestand wasn't on the bike, or what?

 

PS: you really do need to clean those bikes.

Bike resting on the sidestand. Sidestand up = feeding juice to fuse #2.

It's the brain thing .

That strikes me as being a bit odd. Mine (2002 Le Mans, which I believe should have the same wiring as a Coppa Italia) will start with the side-stand down, but the motor stops when it is put in gear with the side-stand down.

However, it is too late at night for me to be able to understand the wiring diagram to that depth. Maybe I'll find time to have a closer look in the next couple of days. Or maybe not.The next few days at work promise to be fairly full.

It is indeed the brain thing.

It striked me, remebering when I was gone fire up my brother in law's K1100 RS. No fuel pump, sidestand up, priming.

Cheers Tom.

On the V11, this is characteristic of a failure of the Neutral Switch --> Neutral (middle/#3) Relay.

Does the Neutral Light come on in the display panel?

Is the gearbox definitely in Neutral, or is it in gear?

Or even in a gap between gears, but not actually in >Neutral< to activate the Neutral Switch --> #3 Relay?

[Tomchri]

Green light on. Haven't touch the gear lever yet, just pushed her on the floor. Kranked her up a couple of times, all normal. Testing outside tomorrow.

Cheers Tom.

The bike should run on the sidestand.

As long as the middle/#3 [Neutral] Relay functions. The Neutral Switch may illuminate the green Neutral Light, yet the "Sidetsand" Relay (middle/#3) could be failed, so that the bike will only start with the sidestand up, clutch lever pulled in.

(I refer to the middle/#3 relay as the "Neutral Relay" as it is actuated by the "Neutral Switch" on the gearbox. The factory literature calls this the "Sidestand Relay" since it prevents starting when the bike is in gear with the sidestand down.)

I meant side stand down and in neutral docc> I tend to sit on the bike and start it with the stand up but I'm sure like every other bike I've owned it will start and idle on the side stand in neutral. This is the case isn't it?
