Just got it firing!
Hi All-
I am not only new to this forum, but also new the world of Moto Guzzi motorcycles. I have owed dozens of bikes over the years, but finally purchase my first Italian bike, that being a 2007 Norge. I am already struggling with it.
Long story short, I purchase the bike from a good friend, who in turn bought it from another friend. My friend never put many miles on it, decided he preferred his Harley. He did start and run the bike regularly over the past few months to keep it functioning properly.
Upon delivery to me this week an attempt was made to start the bike, but I was greeted with what I have learned is the “triangle of death” service light, and of course the bike will not start. Of course, no owners manual to reference.
From what I have learned during the short time I have been on this forum, it appears that the Norge has two codes that need to be manually entered when stated on the dash; a “user” code and a “service” code.
Is it correct to assume that a service code is needed first before I would be able to determine what other codes may be displayed that would indicate additional issues?
This all seems rather odd, since the bike started and was run the day it was shipped to me. Two days later, a service code. Hope it wasn’t affected by the change in zip codes. Lol.
I am planning to find and purchase an owners manual, but am hoping to gain some insight in the possible cause and solution to this issue. I’m assuming this is pretty straightforward for most of you familiar with these bikes, but frustrating to those of us who have not faced these type of electronic problems before.
BTW- VIN is 11297_ , so assuming well last the failed oil pump issue. Fingers crossed nothing major there.
Thanks in advance..!
