2015 Moto Guzzi Griso clicks but no crank...
« on: March 03, 2026, 09:40:43 AM »
My Griso clicks with no crank and pops a 15amp fuse. I've read up on it a bit and found that if I take the starter off and mess with the cables running to the solenoid it sometimes fixes it for a short time but soon acts up again. I'm not very electrical savvy with the bike yet so I'm looking for detailed advice on what to do to permanently fix the issue. I've read that people sometime rewire from the battery to the solenoid but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I'm scared to take the bike out at the moment fearing it will happen in a parking lot somewhere. Thanks

Make sure your Batt is good. Pull starter back & clean the ground wires on the case. Make sure Batt terminals are clean. Replace fuse. Read up on StartusInteruptus , do a search, much about it on here.

For a more in depth answer go over to GrisoGhetto and search Startus Interuptus, Pete has a big write up.

Common issue. Probably a weak battery, and lack of the relay kit. As GS says, there is a kit to address the issue. It is an easy plug and play kit. https://mphcycles.com/cool-stuff-we-like/

like probably many others over time, when my GRiSO started to present issues, I was sure it wasn't the classic, easily remedied 'startus interuptus'. I fiddled about for sometime at significant expense and frustrations, then ponied up the dosh for the kit. Once installed, I've had no issues at all for thousands of often very wet and very isolated miles/start ups.

Buy the MPH kit and get on with riding.
