Hello everyone!
My first post here, though I have been visiting the forum for some time now.
I bought a used fz6 a couple months ago and it ran well (for the most part) up until a couple days ago.
I was coming around a low speed turn near my house when an animal ran out in the road, I had to swerve and subsequently laid the bike down on the right side. I recieved no injuries and there were no animals harmed. :thumbup: ...though I wish people would keep their animals to themselves!! :spank:
Anyhow, the bike would not start afterwards. Two days passed and it still would not start.
Here are the things I have tried and tested:
Fuel pump/filter is good.
Drained fuel/lines, replaced with new fuel (~2 gal)
Side stand sensor bypassed.
Air filter not new but decent.
Fall cutoff sensor good.
Battery/connections good.
Throttle Bodies synced a couple weeks ago.
TPS reading correctly.
ECU sending fuel into fuel rail/lines.
All connections/hoses under seat good.
All fuses have been checked and good.
Tried turning the idle up/down.
Tried to get diag codes, none present (or i'm doing it wrong)... thought it was just select/reset for 8 sec and then select to view?
Here is what happens since my work:
Now the bike will start (very low rpm) and idle for anywhere from a couple seconds to a min or two. After that the bike just dies. If I try to give the bike throttle, it just dies.
If I spray some throttle body cleaner in the air intake, the bike will rev up AND will let me rev the throttle but then dies after a sec or so even with the throttle open.. just sputters a little and dies.
My guess/question:
Could this be clogged fuel injector(s), would that cause the bike to do this, and could injector(s) act like this after a (minor) accident?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. This is my daily driver as my best friend uses my car daily. I hope I can fix this myself as I am broke as a joke that isn't funny!
Thanks,
Matthew
