Daves Ignition Goes Off When Riding
#1

The digital display goes completely out, leading to sudden enjun braking and sharted pants!!
I did wonder if it was a side stand switch or summat but this doesn't turn the dash off.
So I'm guessing ignition barrel is plopped but any other suggestions before I search for a replacement?

I'm just back from a highland tour (Mini one) with my mate on his Ducrapi Multiwhatsist and it did the same thing! sometime knocking the instrument panel off and sometimes not, Bloody scary on a nip and tuck overtake on highland roads, so we tied a cable tie around the spring on the the sidestand to the sidestand to tension it a bit in case it was sagging going over bumps, it was worst between Ballachulish and Oban and a couple of times after leaving oban, so we stopped at Lochgilphead and done the fix, and it never missed a beat to Moffat

With enjun not running, I cycled ignition on/off a number of times and noticed once in about 10 goes turning on the ignition is not activating the dash/ignition.

Sounds like a dodgy ignition switch to me. Might be worth giving it a good squirt of electrickery contact cleaner down the key hole to flush out any debris. Common thing on Moto Guzzi apparently.

Also someone had a problem with there being play atwix the internal barrel and external sleeve what caused similar symptoms to mine which looked easily fixable.

My mates Multiwhatsit had a split in the sidestand switch body and was full of water when he investigated on Monday, and said it looked like a stone had impacted it to cause the damage, the new switch arrived today, so should be good for Sunday
