Hi everyone, I'm having all sorts of woes at the moment. My bike had a flat battery (probably because my heated hand-grips have a slow drain, and I haven't ridden for a month or so). I charged the battery and tried to start it today, but no luck - the engine turns over, but doesn't fire...

Hi everyone, I noticed that my radiator fluid was a bit low last weekend so I topped it up, by raising the tank to get to the filler cap. I didn't do any other modifications to the bike. I ran the bike for about 2 mins after that while moving it back to the garage, then switched it off and...

I installed heated handlebar grips a few weeks ago, and I suspect they might be draining the battery with a slight current even while off - they are connected directly to the battery as per manufacturer's recommendations. I intend to connect them to a switched circuit soon. Anyway, I had a...

Hi everyone, I picked up a set of Oxford heated hand grips the other day, and they're great - warm and comfortable. The instructions say to connect them directly to the battery, and they they will automatically switch off when the voltage drops below 11.5 V However, I tried this...

Hi everyone, Yesterday while travelling on the freeway I noticed a high-pitched whine which started at about 85kph (around 50mph) and stopped when I accelerated past 95kph (60mph). When slowing into this range the noise starts again, and stops when below 85. I've only had this bike (2004...

Hi everyone, A few weeks ago I bought a 2004 FZ6 with 20,000km on the clock and I've been reading up on this forum since then. I haven't done any mods yet but plan to do Bikerdude's dual headlight mod and install a louder horn - so I can be seen and heard. My previous bikes were a ZX6...
