    FZ6-S2 ABS Fuel/Plugs/Coil issue

    I'll get this reading for you tomorrow, thanks. This sounds, worrying? I think I understand the charging not happening but I'm not sure of how to resolve that, checking my manual it looks like a pretty intricate internal process and not something I'll be able to swap out for £50? Thanks...

    FZ6-S2 ABS Fuel/Plugs/Coil issue

    Update: apparently I don't have unlimited time so it's taken me a while to do this. Fuel I siphoned the fuel from the tank. Had to remove the tank completely, and take out the fuel pump (this was obscenley hard compared to videos/the manual) and i felt like I broke the fuel level meter at one...

    FZ6-S2 ABS Fuel/Plugs/Coil issue

    Thanks for the reply guys. Battery The 12.5V reading is when the key is turned to on (fuel pump engage/hud on/daytime side lights on) but bike never actually started which also starts the headlights. 13.5V reading directly from battery when nothing is on. I will get it to 3000RPM today and...

    Help/Advice: Installing Multiple Electronic Accessories on FZ6-S2

    The problem is that the screen isn't even 3 inches so it needs to be in eye-line for me to see anything. I've tested a few setups and I would have to look at my tank to see anything in a screen this size.

    testing it out in this rather ugly position today, positap'd positive to right circular running light and wire going to negative on battery. It works well on test rides and battery seems to hold up fine but then we are having great weather here. USB for tracker still hasn't arrived and I'm...

    Nothing for now that's why it's makeshift. Planning on installing the other devices and monitoring the battery from the USB in case of issues. I did use it the other day to charge my phone in my pocket. It wasn't pretty but it worked.

    I have found one of the running lights under the left fairing, hoping to positap into that when they arrive. I've bought all the stuff for auto relays and for fuse taps so I think I'm going to use this as a learning experience and hopefully not break anything

    I'm sure I replied but it seems to have gone. thanks for the advice, I didnt expect to spend so much money (£80~ in the UK)! Thinking about it more, this solution seems to be better suited to my experience. Looking around I can't find the exact answer, for this box do I just splice/tap into...

    Help/Advice: Installing Multiple Electronic Accessories on FZ6-S2

    Interesting, I had seen your post and wasn't sure it could be used for my bike. And that's a bit more than I expected to pay for this! However, It might be better for me to go this route rather than potentially bodging something. From what I understand of the Fuzeblocks, you splice/positap into...
