I did same, bought the plug'n'play loom connector sold by MPH. More as a preventative measure than to cure a failure. My DIY electrical efforts are NOT conducive to reliability!

MPH/Todd's Plug n Play fitted two years ago was inexpensive and has not caused any problem

Putting the T5 back together again after gearbox issue. Checking and cleaning everything as I go. All appears good but for dreaded clunk click - have previously done the fix. Plenty of power in battery and a good loud clunk with quieter click but no start. Double checked and cleaned all connections no joy. Power to everything else and all working but no start- what next

Have you checked how much voltage drop there is at the terminals (& at earth) Jim? It could be crumbly cables...

Go through the testing the starter motor process (see topic in FAQ).

As often happens the mind starts the what if mode ....99% of elektrikery faults are bad/corroded/dry connections or worn insulation .....not that often a component fail ..... With older Guzzis the Rectifier rarely fails unless shorted out, bad earths create some difficult issues, The Bosch system is robust, The rotor can die but is easily replaced, the reg is well worth swapping for a variable electronic one ESPECIALLY if you put in an AGM battery as they need more volts than the lead acid ones

Thanks Ken, I'd better sort that as I've put an AGM on my old Le Mans.

I think I posted in faq or gen electrical from memory lead acid batt needs 13.8V to charge happily the AGM need 14.4V but do check numbers lower charge rates to the AGM kills them, it did the one I had fitted to the V1000 .....in fact the older system is way happier with the oem battery. .... The charge system on the V11 Le Mans was made for the AGM battery The downside of the newer charge systems is the reg/rect they tend to die IF the earth strap gets corroded. Top tip is to add 2nd one from other fixing bolt and clean check and grease regularly

So my V7 Classic of 2009 has just started messing me about with Click no Crank, I thought it was starter solenoid so replaced it and for the first few days no problem, now it has returned and added in the blowing of the 15 amp lighting circuit fuse - so I really do not know what is going on ? Any thoughts please?
