My warning light was already on, however the bike ran normal, I identified the switch issue AFTER the service and red light alarm came on. At this point I disconnected the switch and took it off the bike. Could not test the in gear start or cruise control function, bcause I almost never use cruise control, or start my bike in gear. Will see when everything is back together. How can you reset the red alarm light and it's related trouble code?My experience is the bold text "SERVICE" message on the dash with a red alarm (triangle) to the right of the dash. If you want to test if your clutch diagnostic switch is faulty, I would suggest the following. Start your guzzi in gear. If the bike jumps forward, the switch is faulty as it is designed to mitigate this. The correct function is that the bike should not start unless your clutch is full pulled in. Upon replacement of the switch, and clearing of the alarm, your Cruise Control should reengage as normal.
After I identified the damage to the clutch switch, it took about 200 klms of riding before the warning light came on; so, if your warning light is not on now, it may come on in the next couple of hundred k's.
Yes, this is not a surprise. Well documented here that low battery health/voltage causes many different running issues. Thanks for your input.Update: the hanging throttle problem was becoming worrying. Especially with a hot bike in heavy traffic. The other day the motorcycle did not start in the morning due to lack of battery (I use the motorcycle daily). I have changed the Yuasa battery and have taken the opportunity to put in the one with the highest amperage. Surprise!!: the hanging throttle problem has disappeared. It doesn't seem like a coincidence. My theory: it would be an electrical problem. A low amperage would force the control unit to increase energy production in the alternator, increasing the revolutions. When hot, activating the oil cooler fan would further increase energy needs.
Thats great. My mind would always go to the throttle control or the valve. What exact battery are your using currently ?Update: the hanging throttle problem was becoming worrying.
