Hi,
I'm enjoying my G12 for several years now
I'm not making many miles (km's), but I'm enjoying every mile (km) I ride.
But this year is the first year I'm "enjoying" an electrical problem...
A few months back, during good weather (no winter conditions...), the first drive this year was nice.
Absolutely no problems, It was very nice to ride my shiny Italian again.
The day after, I had a party at our bike club..., I took the bike outside, packed my bike with tent and sleeping gear, got myself dressed, turned the ignition key and pushed the starter button...
Pow... nothing more... red triangel end "SERVICE" in red in my dash.
All the fuses were okay... (nice to check when your bike has an alarm system...)
I went by car to our party... damn.
Later that week, I checked battery, battery connections, ground connection...
I also had 2 error messages in the dash (ECU error 36 and 45...)
After the cleaning, it was okay again. No red triangel, no "SERVICE" in my dash, no error message.
I cleaned every electrical connection at my G12, to prevent it to happen again.
...
I didn't ride it any more because of salty winter conditions in our region.
Last Thursday I took my G12 again, enjoying a little ride from about 22 mils (35 km)
Unfortunately, shit happened again on Friday...
Again, ready for a weekend take off, all dressed up for a bit rainy weather...
Ignition on... check... push button... pow... again... Red triangel, "SERVICE" in red...
f...., f...., and more of those words...
Yesterday with my first tiny check, extra car battery at the bike, no result...
Error message in the dash: ECU 36
Checked fuses again... damn, from the alarm was okay... but fuse B from the auxiliary fuses was broke.
New fuse in place and everything was okay again. Error message gone now.
...
What's the best thing for me to do/check now?
Must I do something with that error 36?
Is this the 'modern "No start" issue'??? (https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/modern-no-start-issue-solution.4908/)
Must I clean some connection even better?
Or Todd, is it better to make the other connection as you described in "Wildguzzi.com" in August 2011?

(is that part still for sale??)
Who can give me a good advice, so I won't get into trouble with this anymore??
Our "bike" season has just started... I want to ride... I want to enjoy my gorgeous G12!!
Thanks.
