No, haven't done that yet.Someone else that I called mentioned the ground wire. I will look into that as well. Thanks. Any other suggestions?
See PM. But just do the kit. For some reason, my 1200 Sport had this start/no start issue until I installed the 'startus interruptus' kit from MPH. I have one in reserve just in case the Griso starts doing the same thing, but so far, at 10,000 miles, Griso starts just fine all the time. BTW, 1200S is about to turn 60 (that's 60k miles) and going strong!Bob
I don't think it is related to temperature but the dash may be stopping it because it sees low Voltage although I would expect it not to prime in that case.Did you happen to notice the battery Voltage indicated by the dash?
I do think there is some sort of link to temperature at least with my EV. All of the times it has done have been bright sunny days including 3 different times on my Aug trip. And I watched Manfredo's Stelvio do it after a pretty long stretch in high heat where he had cut it off then tried to start it up again. But who knows! I went with the level 1 fix, a 20A fuse to replace the the stock 15A,and it hasn't done it since. If it does happen again at least I know to wait a minute, cuss a lot, hit all the switches a few times, put the side stand up and down a few times, and eventually the magic will reappear.
Mate, you've been given heaps of advice on the problem and how to solve it yet you continue to do take no action and then be amazed that it happens again.With the greatest of respect it ISN't going to fix itself magically by complaining on the Internet. Either one of the two solutions suggested, the 'Plug In' Startus Interuptus kit or the wiring mod will almost certainly cure the problem permanently. Just do it. Stop flapping like a fish on a pier.Pete
When you press the starter button, is there a faint 'click' under the seat? If you have a faint click, but not start, you have the 'startus interruptus'. Adding a jumper is easy. Or adding the kit is easy if electrically challenged.Yes it can be heat related. It can be cold related. It can be related to the moon phases. The power to the solenoid is too marginal. Anything in the path, connectors, ignition switch, sticky solenoid, even a weak fuse, can keep it from pulling the solenoid. Even if that is not the issue, the kit install is a smart thing. Get it, or learn to bump start it.
If we all just applied the concept of Occam's Razor to troubleshooting Guzzis, we'd spend a lot more time riding and a lot less time fixing...
Speak the truth brother , speak it Elegance and simplicity rule Dusty
And as Sherlock said - "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" Installing simple fixes for known weaknesses makes the problems they cause impossible - and leaves you more time to consider the improbable!
