battery

Hey everyone, I need to do a compression test but can't really see a good way to get the gauge in without removing the battery tray. And since its a basic compression meter I need the battery to run the test. Any tips for this one? Back story: Cam chain tensioner failed about 3 months ago...

I have a dead battery and of course a full tank of gas. When I lift the tank to access the battery will I get any fuel leakage/overflow? Thanks Ryan

I just bought a 2009 FZ-6 with 600 miles on it and I couldn't be happier. Already put over 200 miles on her in less than a week. There have been some electrical issues though. First the battery went dead. It's since been replaced and is back to running just fine. I located a loose wire under...

Went to fire up the bike last weekend but there was no life , so just thought the old battery had died as I have no idea how old it was . Put on a new battery and she fired up no problems . Being a nice day I went out for a run and after a while noticed the orange engine light came on ...

I replaced my battery on fz6 today. I had a few questions: While in diag mode the old battery registered 11.4 and the new battery registers 12.0. But when I put a voltmeter directly to the batteries themselves they measured 12.4 and 13.2. 1)Is the d09 sensor in diag known to be...

I was on my way to work, everything was normal and then I noticed the check engine light come on, I slowed down and cruised into work and the light remained on. Got to work and turned off the bike and then tried to restart but the battery did not have enough juice to turn it over. Two hours...

Hi Guys I will be riding my bike as little as eight miles a day now. And otherwise making shorter trips then in the past. New job, very local, gonna be a very local commuter now. Is there anything I need to know about specific bike maintenance for short distance daily usage? I have read that...

So yesterday it was glorious sunshine here in the south of England and I got all prepped for a ride. It had only been two weeks since my last one so checked a few normal bits and bobs before starting up the bike. nb - bike is well maintained, I keep a spreadsheet of my service schedule...

I'm trying to get home and broke down to outside of hatch nm. Got gas, bike started stuttering and dying 20 miles down the road. Would surge and die. Checked the battery connections and all good. Waited and it started up but same surging and dying in a few miles. Finally it wouldn't start at...

I usually turn off engine at intersection(signal~red), the vehicle didn't start immediately. I observed a weird smell when I shifted the gears quickly(0-60 in ~5 seconds), did i fry something(but this happened this morning), the issue is from long back. I took it to autozone to test it, we...

Hey guys, first off thank you to everyone who already wrote guides on how to install a 12 volt cigarette lighter on the fz6. I used about 40 dollars in parts from autozone and about an hour because the battery bolt couldn't reach the nut with the new terminals. I ended up screwing the bolt in...

So, I thought I'd be ok with my battery this winter since I have a heated garage, but the heat went out and I'm not getting it fixed (too damn expensive) so in my usual ritual of starting the bike once a week and letting it run a but I've noticed it's having a little trouble cranking, which I...

Parked my bike in October last year for winter. Took the battery out on Saturday . Charged it up and tried to fire up the bike. It won't start . I tried to start with loose negative connection as I manage to loose the nut . Charged the battery again and got new nut . Now its properly tied...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, and actually glad I found an FZ6 forum that seems pretty active :D Hopefully someone reads this because I'm dumping a lot of info out here. Here's my situation, bought an '09 FZ6 S2 in May 2014 and have been commuting on it 36 miles a day ever since, with...

Hy all. I have removed my battery to charge it, and when i have installed back, i have noticed that there is a black cable that i have no memory of, and it is loose. Now i have no idea where it was and what it is for. It is near that thin red wire that goes into the red fuse and than...

So my problem is that since I bought this bike second hand I have had to replace the headlight globe twice as the high and/or low beam burn out almost instantly and now recently the high beam light icon on the dash has stopped illuminating. Also it's had a check engine light on for some...

Posting from the side of the road. I was out riding with a friend on a near-dead battery and stalled. I'd been push starting while waiting for my new battery to come in, but this time the battery was too dead to push start, so I had him come jump me. He'd never jumped from his bike before...

Hi Firstly, I've read the thread about the immobiliser which is currently on the 1st page and I have similar issues but his seems to be have been resolved with a fuse being blown. My battery has been dodgey for a few months and occasionally wouldn't start the bike so i'd just jump start it...
