Useless Italian lump of crap!

As D-Rider says,check ALL connections.
A shitty pos or neg connection on any part of the starting circuit will give you shagged battery/starter motor like symptoms

Also check the connection down at the starter motor, don't think many venture down there often and rusty old connection at the starter won't help either.

Good luck

did any falco's come with a light on/off selector switch cos mine are always on. I always ride with them on but would like to be able to switch off for starting.

Mine's a late brown one and it came without the switch.
I changed the switchgear and it definitely made a difference to starting.
It's a straight swap but you have to pull the fairing off to get at the plug, which to be honest isn't a big job.

Far as I could see when I was doing mine there are three types of switchgear. The one that you have with the blanked off switch. There is one the same but with the switch intact. Then there are the older ones with the silver indicator switch. These have the indicators in the normal place in the middle rather than at the bottom.

Bought mine off here from someone who wanted the indicator switch in the normal position so it looks like all types use the same multiplug.

If all you needed was a new battery, you'll owe your bike and the Italian nation an appology

Actually in my defence your honour I was only asking if this was the correct way to address your Falco if it didn't start!. I never once stated that these were the actual words used at the time. Think I could get away scott free on a technicality

Is this the correct way to address a flat, Italian battery when it refuses to start Ones Falco

Fixed that for you - Answer is YES! ;o)
