    norge trouble code LD 02

    My understanding is that the harness from battery POS to the starter solenoid is a separate harness from the main harness. This is an OEM harness. I should be able to get the PN as soon as I take delivery. Charging system was checked, and showed no issues. Looking at the underside of the...

    Scott, I’m not sure I could get more specific than the several posts I’ve already made on the subject, but I’ll try. Starting around 18 months ago, the bike started throwing the LD02 code, which prompted me to start looking online for answers, because I’m not exactly rich. You and I actually...

    norge trouble code LD 02

    Found out the problem! The harness between the battery and the starter solenoid was heat & moisture damaged! I’ve spent literally hundreds of American dollhairs buying batteries, all because of a USD 60 wiring harness!

    It’s finally had enough of my shenanigans, and is deader than disco. Talking it to the stealership tomorrow. May have to sign the title and steal the tool kit if I can’t afford the repairs.

    norge trouble code LD 02

    Still throwing that error. I’m completely stumped. New LiFePO battery last fall, it’s been on the brand new battery tender all winter, and the only thing left at this point, in my mind, is to take it in to the local stealership.

    Someone once asked why I refer to it as the Cobra Chicken. It’s a play on the “Goose” moniker. And if you live anywhere near where Canada geese nest, poop, et endless cetera, you may have heard them referred to as cobra chickens. (My last bike was a 1984 Honda Nighthawk S, lovingly called the...

    I live in FoMoCo’s backyard — every night, they fill parking lots full of F150s that are hamstrung by electronics shortages.

    It’s on my list — my current battery tender isn’t up to the task, and is about due for replacement after over a decade of service.

    Amazing how one can get two faulty batteries in a row, isn’t it? For the record, avoid anything from Motobatt — their US office is no longer in business, so there’s no support. Everything being sold from that brand is old stock.

    UPDATE: thank you so much for the reassurance that it was the battery (again)! I picked up a LiFePO equivalent, installed it, and my Cobra Chicken started right up like nothing was ever a problem!

    That’s what I’m thinking, too, so fingers are crossed that there isn’t an underlying problem. It’s not going to hurt to go through the connections with some cleaner!

    Mine just started having that problem — I have another new battery ready to be ordered, but after charging the battery, I do have power going to the ECU and dash, until I stab the starter button, then I hear a relay, but nothing else, and everything blacks out and runs through the light show...

    Norge Oil Pump replacement.

    After a couple of weeks of riding with a Forbidden Hot Sauce bottle under my seat, I decided to reroute the breather back to the airbox. There was a LOT of pressure pulsing through the hose into that bottle! So, I replaced the original breather hose off the back of the airbox and into the same...

    Of course of course, it had time to cool off, and started right up just now! Gremlins. It’s gotta be gremlins.

    Of course, I’m stranded, unless I can get it bump started.

    norge trouble code LD 02

    So, should I go with a higher-amperage battery? My bike just sat for a week, and while I have power, I just don’t have the amps to crank. I went with the 12V 19A Motobatt, thinking Guzzi suggests 12V 18A…

    Good question! I don’t know. 😂 Mine is an ‘08, and apart from the dash playing its little games with me and the oil leaks I need to replace seals to rectify, it’s been a great bike!

    Hi shtef, no, it’s still randomly doing it, especially when it’s hot. Still working on resolving!

    Norge Oil Pump replacement.

    My only concern is that mine was upgraded to the car-style dipstick, so I’m not entirely certain how accurate it is compared to stock. Typically, I’ve been running about 1/4 oil showing on the narrow part, and it still blows oil. It’s not showing signs of compression loss, or at least nothing...

    Norge Oil Pump replacement.

    I improved my arrangement slightly - the tube extension now passes through a grommet slightly smaller than the OD of the tube, and I stuffed some scotchbrite and a bit of cotton up in the cap of the bottle. I get about a tablespoon after every ride, however, I put a bit more oil in to make up...
