Did you check the main fuse on the starter solenoid? Follow the positive battery cable to the starter solenoid and unplug the solenoid from the wiring harness. Flip down the door on the solenoid. There is a spare fuse in the door and a flat fuse screwed into the solenoid. These are notorious for cracking and corroding. Replace this fuse and your machine should work again.

SOURCE: Moto Guzzi breva 1100 won't start clicks at relay.

Take a look at the starter solenoid. There are two larger wires, on the back. One from the battery positive, (main hot wire), the other goes to the starter motor (If you jump these terminals the starter will spin but will not engage the flywheel). Look at the wires and nuts on the solenoid, especially the starter motor side make sure they are clean and tight, have not gotten hot and started rusting. Also check the voltage on the solenoid wire, (smallest) wire from the start button. In some cases there is a voltage loss on this wire. Next time it will not engage the starter right away, make a jump from the main power battery terminal on the starter to the solenoid wire. If it starts right up every time, you need to add and wire in another relay to carry the voltage to the solenoid from the start button, (a relay to work the solenoid, lol). If that test does not work or help.. Tap on the starter motor with a hammer. if it catches and turns the engine then, the motor brushes are worn and need to be replaced.

When I try to start my Moto Guzzi Norge (2010) it just makes a clunk and doesn’t turn. Battery is new.

Bad connection or faulty starter. Check voltage/current to the starter when you press start - should be around 8/9 volts for a 12 volt system - if considerably higher suspect starter, if lower and little current flowing suspect poor connection somewhere. If the voltage is low and current high suspect starter.

2001 Moto Guzzi California EV won't even try to start.

pushing the start button dims the lights is a sure indication that the battery is faulty
have it load tested or replace it
charging a dead battery after a 2 year period of being flat causes what is known as sulphation of the plates and the battery will not accept a charge regardless of the charge time.

New battery fitted but no ignition lights no power to starter, all lights indicators fuel pump works all fuses look fine can you help 2003 ev 1100 cali moto guzzi tom haggan

Hello, i haven't worked on but a few Guzzi's, but it sounds like you may have a ground issue. I would check for voltage at the ignition switch, relays & fuses. If no voltage there, check the main battery to frame ground. Then start with a continuity test from the battery to circuit box & continue until you find where the break is.... Some of these bikes, like the sport model, have 2 batteries, so if yours does, make sure that both are good....I hope this helps some.

LM3 Alternator Brushes

Most likely Alternator or Starter Motor. Perhaps get both lots? Best if you have them out and with you Might also try your BOSCH Auto Electrician if the others don't have them. ,,

in fact only turned over once befors starter was clicking away. Pushed it home tried again - nothing. Put battery on charger - charged up in 15 minutes - tried to start - engine turned over couple of times then click click click at starter been out this morning checked all connections and earths - charged battery up - read 13.22v when full charge light came on, tried to start up - turned over several times, getting slowwr then click click. Checked battery reading 12.17v Any suggestions - is it the battery or what else?,The fact that the voltage drops as the revs increase is very odd. However, the dash voltmeter which I assume you are using is often inaccurate. Try an alternative battery, at least to see if it starts. You could use a car battery with jump leads. With a decent battery the charging might improve too.,,,
