    New way to start a fz6

    Your in the US, so no immobilizer.. Instead of possibly destroying/damaging something else in the wiring just replace the entire switch with an OEM switch. No re-wire splicing, do it correctly.. Note; I recently replaced my ignition witch as the key wouldn't always turn (just worn out)...

    New way to start a fz6

    What does "re-doing the ignition switch" mean? Repairing cut damage, new switch, specifically what? .

    04 FZ6 No Crank

    The starter motor has one large wire that gets energized thru a RELAY, above the battery cover. Please clarify how you put a screwdriver on that terminal (no other power) and got it to spin over... ?? (12 volts DIRECT to that starter post would by-pass everything and allow the engine to spin...

    Gas line

    Just an FYI for yourself. Both hard lines, inside, attach under the gas gap. One obviously allows venting, the other, if there's too much fuel-will "vent" into the line and dump on the ground vs over flowing at the cap. Better the ground than your lap...

    Gas line

    Your posts are somewhat confusing.. If your referring to the TWO SMALL lines attached to the bottom of the tank(both sides) they go down, to the right side of the bike, just behind the rt foot peg. There should be a steel loop they go thru.. Nothing from the fuel tank goes to the coolant over...

    Need Help 04-06 Starter not spinning when mounted.

    Can you bump / push start the bike? If you remove the right side "plug" that covers the crankshaft, can you turn that bolt inside CLOCKWISE (even just a little)? .

    Stuck water pump

    Did you get it apart and find your issue? .

    Stuck water pump

    Yes it is... You may have some build up or just wear (kinda rare), hampering removal. #5, the mechanical seal is hammered into part 8. Remove the impeller first and go from there. PM sent. .

    Stuck water pump

    Did you remove the impeller yet? .

    Stuck water pump

    I gather your referring to the water pump cover itself?? Or the entire unit as a whole? .

    Engine noise

    + 1 to both above.. Sounds fine.. Why's your clutch cable disconnected?? .

    No codes No start

    I wouldn't think temp would play into it, un-less something has a bad connection. If you have spark now, I'd try starting it.... You can always go back and finish cleaning. Better yet, get it running (if it does start), then, while it's running, do a wire / connector "wiggle test". If that...

    Question caliper Bracket & cooling fan volume

    I believe the S1 and S2 fans have slightly different mounts.. As for the volume dunno. A rear brake caliper mounting bracket, ( I gather ), I've never seen any after market ones.. SS brake lines would be a good investment... . S2 4S8-12405-00-00 S1 5VX-12405-00-00

    Question Whining noise after changing chain and sprockets - normal?

    Yep, that 1/4", IME, makes a BIG DIFFERENCE.. Especially if the chain is not kept up.. .
