Hi everyone,
I have 04 FZ6N, it is a brilliant bike. However, few days ago it doesn't want to start. The instrument cluster went blank and the bike only cranks and doesn't want to start.
The problem begin when I tried to wire an aftermarket tachometer. I tried to get the wiring for the new tachometer ( I may plug it to the wrong cable). Based on the wiring diagram, I managed to find power, N light, indicator, highbeam, and ground. After that, the bike starts fine and I did warm it up for 10-15 mins.
Then, I need to use the bike so I installed the original tachometer as I haven't finished wiring the aftermarket tach. I plugged in using the original wiring, install it, and turn on the ignition. The moment I turn the ignition the tach just went blank with backlight and Neutral light are on but it doesn't do the normal start-up check. When I try to start the engine, it's only cranks and not starting at all.
I can't even get the original tach to go into diagnose mode. It stay blank at all time.
So far I have checked:
- Battery is good (12.7v with 10.8-11.2v when cranking)
- Plugs are sparking
- 2 main fuses are good
- All of the fuses on the side of bike are good
- Reset ECU by removing the battery for a night and install it again.
- Tried to push start it and won't start either
Anyone had this problem before or know what is going on with the bike? My final suspicion is the immobilizer system, but unsure how is the tach wiring affect it (I also use exact same key) and also I don't know how to bypass it to eliminate this suspicion.
Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge.
