Might be a loose connection? I had the dreaded triangle and service message, a quick chat to the dealer he suggested that I check the main connection to the speedo, I did that pulled it apart and reconnected it a few times and it went away.
They are a great ride!
Does your bike have any warranty from a dealer ?
Just for your information the bending side stand mounting plate on the sub frame was recognized as an issue by MG as they did do a recall for some 2008/9 bikes and the side stand mounting was replaced. You could check with the dealer as you...
A lot will depend on how dirty the petrol is, in Namibia it may well be dirty - from rust or dust etc etc
Otherwise the manual does make mention of checking the fuel pipes every 12 months or 10,000km which I would take to include checking the fuel filter, but if your petrol is prone to be be...
Charlie, sometimes the fuel line comes of easily sometimes mostly they don't, but its important not to use force.
One little trick is to get a very small thin screw driver pinch the outer part of the connector you should then be able to see the quick release clips on the inside - then...
I don't have any photos of mine but I recall there were some pictures on the threads when this was all first discussed a long time ago now about 2009/10? Anyway you really can't miss the crack, from the ones I have seen, the normally go across the two bolts holes. I recall the torque figure was...
In the recall it is the fork leg that is replaced which includes the black hub at the bottom, don't see how you could replace just the black hub on its own.
A recall by year was done in Europe on the left hand fork. Mine cracked and was replaced by the dealer, it didn't crack immediately, but as Pete says its all well documented that there was a problem. I have two mates with Stelvios one cracked the other didn't, but it was still changed by the...
Thanks mate!
Sort of what I was suspecting (no easy solution), but not being very familiar with the Nevada very good hear from someone with similar issues.
There is or has been an overheating problem at one time as a connector and wire going into it are a bit cooked. We've also had some...
We are trying to re-commission a 2007 Nevada that has been laid up for about 9 months. Its never been used much and generally when used its just been used around town but up till 9 months ago was apparently reliable.
Our main problem is that the it only starts intermittently runs for a bit then...
Hi,
Just a quick tip on preventative maintenance --- when you have a few minutes spare its good to check and the engine mounting bolts they have tendency to seize - a mates had to be drilled out and another mate had one that was very close to seizing, from two bikes only one bolt had a slight...
Hi Timothy,
Sorry to hear about the woes and the NTX, however, now you have got the warranty issue sorted I would recommend you find a proper Guzzi dealer you are happy with and I would support one of the other posts on this thread and recommend Corsa Italiana in Hersham. I have always found...
Fixed the problem
Seems to have been a combination of a poor earth, the earth behind the starter motor cover was quited badly crroded, I seem to recall this being an issue on other posts, and (of course) the battery terminals were not in the best of shape, but the battery was working well...
Doesn’t seem to be the switch as that is now working very well.
The fuse that blows is the F2 15amp which according to the manual and wiring diagram points to the starter motor solenoid (or it could be relay I suppose).
Any particular issues to check on the starter motor/solenoid ?
Hi Wayne,
Good questions ! What happens is that it occasionally pops a fuse, this seems to be the 15 amp fuse for the "ignition" or "services" not sure which from the wiring diagram (need to check again - but while seated on the bike its the first fuse on the left hand side next to the relays...
I also have Guzzi panniers and think they are very practical, and better if you buy the optional carry handels.
A good point to note is that a mate dropped his Stelvio and the panniers took most of the very low speed crunch (along with the crash bars) but with careful work the damaged one was...
Anybody had any problems with blowing fuses?
Its a 15 amp fuse in the relay box in the front fairing.
In some of the 2008 Stelvios you had to remove a relay (this was issuesd as a technical note by MG) which could cause the starter motors to be continuously powered and cause a short circuit...
We've had a similar problem on the glove box.
The fault was the wire connecting the opening mechanism to the switch was not connected, its an easy mistake as you have to disconnect the wire to do anything with the tank eg like removing the tank so I guess people just forget to reconnect it. We...
