HI Guys, I am a Guzzi fan from Amsterdam, having battery troubles with the 2012 Guzzi Stone.
I purchased a new battery, and this morning the battery was completely empty..again..

Somebody told me that this is a common problem with these new guzzi's since my last one from 1986 did not have such problems at all. He informed me that I should rewire something . does anyone know what he means? Or doe anybody have a tip on how to kee the battery full? many thanks ! Pascal
 
Hi Pascal, welcome for the Forum. Hope you'll add your info to the Registry; https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/v7-registry-picture-thread-add-your-bike.9108/

2012 has no known charging issues, but be sure to check at the battery with a voltmeter. It may be under or over-charging. If that is ok, then you have a parasitic drain, so we'd need a lot more info. Best to have a shop or dealer help you.
Once you get that resolved, new lithium batteries are the way to go (smaller, lighter, more stable and poweful), and as with any battery, best to buy a charger and use if/as needed.

Thanks for the quick Reply GT, I will take her to the garage then to see if there's a drain somewhere.
