I have a 2011 1200 sport 4v, it ran perfectly well yesterday but this morning it won't start. I have disconnected and reconnected the battery to see if that would re boot the system, checked all the fuses, checked the kickstand switch. I checked the plugs and looks like there is no spark also no smell of fuel from the exhaust despite the engine turning over on starter motor.
 
Apparently she turns over. Get the schematic for the bike from the resources tab. I suspect a relay issue. Also go into the diagnostics menu and see if there are any error codes.
 
I tried to get into the diagnostics menu but it needs a code, I can't find the default code in the handbook.
 
Handy to know Moto Guzzi Service Codes:

36421
36424
28315
12425
21959
10695
 
Thanks for that 36421 works for my bike, got into the diagnostics and found a fault code on the instrument panel. It showed an oil pressure failure, I'll have to get it booked in to have it checked out.
 
Thanks John, I was trying to find that post and insert the link but for some reason I couldn't locate it when I searched for it.
 
Thanks for your replies, got the beast in my local bike shop hopefully it won't be too big a problem.

It appears that Guzzi has immobilised itself for no apparent reason, no fault codes present. It's now at Haywards in Cambridge as my local dealer can't get the full diagnostic gear which is only available to Guzzi dealers.
 
Well Haywards have been working on Guzzi all day an are still no closer to getting it running, the labour charges alone are going to be huge.
 
Latest update from Haywards, it appears the fault lies with the Phase regulator. Now waiting for a replacement to arrive and hopefully back on the road. The repair bill will be £301 ($507), open wallet surgery needed.
 
Interesting. I can see where it would take time to isolate this. There isn't a fault code for it and you have to troubleshoot the old fashion way.
 
Good news! Guzzi is back home and she runs better than ever. Haywards balanced the throttle bodies and now it feels like a different bike. Thanks to you all for your help and advice.
