Any good feedback about using Lithium Battery Shorai LFX18A1-BS12 or Shorai LFX14L2-BS12? I had bad experience that LFX14L2 was dead on mine when the second day rode to work (I had to push it on tramp in order to manually start it..). However I found out that my bike's idle was too low...

Woke up this morning and was going for a nice early-morning ride and battery dead. Slow crank followed by the clattering main relay. Fuel system charges, just can't get enough spin out of the starter. Bump starting is a pssibility, might give that a try but street is level and don't want to...

Can someone link me to which Battery Tender is a solid choice for my '07 FZ6? Which specific model have you had storage success with? Thanks!

:disapprove: Okay, I had to change my battery this afternoon. Pulled the old one, no problem, got a replacement, and started to install the new one. An hour and 45 minutes later, I have given up. The battery terminal is an upside-down "U" with a hole in the top for the cable bolt, and a...

Built homemade manometer. Warm engine,set idle at 1350,shut off, install tubes. When I start back up it sucks all oil out of #4 tube within a second or so. Tried closing it down(clockwise) no help,open it up a couple turns no help, did everything in between. I can't run the bike long enough...

Hi guys, I’m having charging issues and I’m looking for advice. I bought a new battery on Monday Sept. 15, and it died on Friday Sept. 19. Today, I checked the stator and was getting .3 to .4 ohms and 0 ohms back to ground (good). Now when I checked the r/r according to this video...

Hi all, 2004 FZ6 has been going great, but the last couple of months it's not been starting as well as it used to. It cranks over fine, and it does always fire up first time, but as soon as it fires up it only just gets going, and it takes a second before it's up to high idle. Previously it...

Due to some of the threads re charging voltages at lower RPM's, I made the below video to clarify. History on the bike; (1) BD43, dual headlight mod, PIAA high performance bulbs (2) Battery is approx 3.5 years old, (ridden 365), and due for replacement. (3) Idle is intentionally...

Hello, I just bougt a new battery to my other little virago bike. A 12V 9A/h sealed lead acid battery. But no instructions with it. So anyone knows about the installation, i mean shall i charge it before i put it on as regular lead acid batteries or just put it on and go? Any tips would be...

[SOLD] GPS Fairing-Mount & Power Module This setup will work with a Garmin Nuvi, but I am not sure of anything else. I had it hardwired to a fused power lead from the battery. [SOLD]

Hello everyone and thank you for having me in the forum. I hope before I'll take my bike to the local stealer to find a solution. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I've got a FZ6 2005. Lately the bike wouldn't start randomly. Sometimes error 12 would pop up on the screen. Until...

Hello All, It's been quite a while since I've posted - however I do browse the forums still regularly. I wish had something notably positive to post about - however I have found myself in a predicament and could really use any advice or input anyone may have before I start tearing the bike...

My battery was completely dead so I placed it on a 10A/12V charger for 12 hours. I've done this with other bikes without problems but when I went to go look at it this morning, there was a lot of heat coming from the battery. (Google says I probably should not have used that powerful of a...

So I posted to this forum a little while ago with the issue of the bike sputtering between 1k and 2k; I replaced the spark plugs and charged the battery while I was at it; after that everything seemed to be A-OK. But the yesterday I was having a spirited ride in the back roads and popped a...

So, found out the battery wasn't be charged the hard way after stopping after a long (1 hr.) ride and turned off the bike. Tried to start the bike and the battery didn't have enough amps to turn the engine over, and I got stranded a couple miles from home at 11p at night. Here's what I have...

Hi all, Last year my bike started playing up, on random occasions when I let the revs drop below 1500 rpm the engine would stop. I could never figure out why and there was no pattern to when it happened. If I switched the bike off and on again it would work fine. Eventually the bike died...

Hi guys, I am having a little trouble with my 2004 Fz6. I hadn't use the bike for over a month so I wasn't surprised that the battery was dead. After charging I went on the ride everything was fine. Then next day it died on me during a ride. No big deal I had bought a new battery fully charged...

Hi all, So I finally started riding for the first time a bit today in a parking lot. Loads of fun though I was just about ready to do a bit of street riding when my bike up and died on me. I took a quick video of the issue I'm facing and since I'm very new to motorcycles and vehicle repair I...

So I made a video to show why FI is so great in cold weather. Also shows the benefits of using a battery tender when it is cold out. Enjoy! Sorry the audio is low, I forgot to turn it back up when making the video. Here is the direct link FZ6 Cold Weather Start Below Freezing - YouTube...
