V7 Starter switch fail - No Power - Power Loss

lucydad said:
Frybone,

Two things resolved the starting issue for me: 1) cleaning thoroughly the switch, and then using electrical cleaner spray into the switch every couple weeks to keep humidity out. 2) when starting, take your gloves off and use the right edge of the switch to toggle, not the middle or left side, the switch is a rocker type and activates best from the right edge.

I still own my bike and moved to SE Pennsylvania, USA. I had a major 9000 mile service done here at the local dealer done Spring of 2023. It has been flawless all of 2023, zero issues. Overall the V7 III, in my opinion, is a true all rounder bike: does everything well. You can't go wrong with this bike.

cheers back,
Lucydad

Thanks for your comments; I had not heard of this before. I do feel confident enough pursue the purchase of this bike.

Hi Lucydad; I am new at posting so I hope Im in the right area; I am considering buying a 2017 V111 (9000 kms); I noticed you have posted many time so I am concerned that the issue you have may be common. Wondering if you know if there are other issues with this model I should be concerned about? cheers

Frybone: Apart from the rear drive seal leaking which was fixed on warranty (see relevant threads on forum) I have had no problems with my 2017 V7III here in Perth. Love it!
I did change out the plastic fuel filter for the metal one as a precaution (see relevant threads on forum).
Best thing I did was get the GTM fuel map, after market de-catcon mufflers, K&N air filter, remove SAS, etc and upgrade the suspension - transformed the bike. (Again, see relevant threads on forum for info.)
If the bike you are looking at has been looked after and maintained correctly it should fine. It's just run in at 9000km! 😉
Good luck.
