- 10240589Model: Moto Guzzi V85 (all models) Subject: Vehicle stops on road due to lack of battery charge Dear Dealer / Service Centre / Authorised workshop, We hereby inform you that if the vehicle is stopped on the road due to a lack of battery charge, please proceed as described below. SYMPTOM: Vehicle stop due to lack of charge caused by pinched cable after engine guard assembly code 2S001281-2S001282. SOLUTION: One of the most common causes of lack of battery charge on the vehicles in question is the use of accessory engine guards code 2S00181-2S00182, because the voltage regulator cable is inadvertently pinched during installation of this accessory. Before requesting the replacement of components such as magneto-flywheel or battery be avoided, instead search for the area where the regulator cable has been pinched.
