ignition

Trying to help my buddy out with his 2004 Yamaha FZ-6. The bike stalled out on him twice and then he got no crank, starter click, or fuel pump however the bike was still recieving power as running lights and brake lights still function. After relpacing fuses Fuel Pump is functional but still no...

I was riding about 15 mins after an oil change on my 09 fz6. was on my way for an hour and a half ride to a city for a big interview. i went to pull over to get ready for the interstate in a small parking lot, and suddenly the bike just turned off. i had my clock, so it was as if i turned the...

Last week my FZ6 would make a buzzing sound upon pushing the ignition. I took the USB charger that was attached directly to the battery off which fixed the issue. I got my tires changed yesterday and now occasionally while pushing the ignition, I will get the buzzing sound, gauges go crazy, and...

Hi, guys! Last two years ignition lock on my FZ6 S2 works very badly. Sometimes it tooks 3-5 minutes to turn a key (I know that it is common problem for most of Yamahas). I've tried different lubrications but alas nothing worked well... Since I have US version without immobilizer, I decided...

I've noticed recently my 05 FZ won't turn over when hitting the ignition switch (although the dashboard lights up). I usually just flip the engine cut off back and forth and then hit ignition and that usually does the trick but it seems to be getting worse. I know first thought is battery but...

Hi guys, I've changed the oil + oil filter on my 2004 FZ6. Nothing else. She got 2.8 liters, as per the manual. Warmed up the bike, and did the job. Once done, the bike wouldn't start. Ignition on -> dashboard comes to life -> fuel pump cycles -> lights on -> Start button -> bike starts...

So my bike was attempted to be stolen twice in 2 days...... which really sucks. On the first attempt the bent my handle bars making it unable to be ridden ( which I was mad about but handle bars are pretty cheapish and easily switched) then 2 days later they cut my ignition cord and tried to...

This thread has been edited and closed! Thanks.

Looking for an ignition switch for parts Preferably looking for 04-10 FZ6 switch but believe earlier FZ6 or R6 may work also Need only the ignition barrel itself so would be interested in damaged switches or switches with missing keys providing that the key turns normally without any...

Have the problem with my ignition switch where I have to pull the key to a certain angle before it will turn Want to get this fixed up without buying a new lock set and I know this can be done but need a donor ignition My question though is what other ignitions are identical to my bike...

Good evening, Can anyone please tell me if I need to remove the Airbox and battery box to gain access to change my ignition coil #1 and #4. I can see where the coils are of course, but it does not look like you can unscrew the bolts and disconnect the leads in such a tight area to work in...

Hi all, new to this site. Anyways i bought a used 2004 fz6 got a good deal on it or so i thought. But the kill switch has been ripped out and wires twisted together. The guy lost the keys to it and tried to hot wire it and later found the keys. Anyways i can not get the bike to turn over with...

I am down to the last 4 wires on an engine swap and i am at a work stoppage. Does any one remember which wire goes where in the ignition coils. I got the two right and two left, but which position for which color? The schematic doesn't specify. Thank you in advance. Todd

As the title says, I want to move my ignition switch. Anyone done this and have pics of it?

Hi all, I'm really, really new to both motorcycling (LOVE IT!) and mechanical/garage stuff. I ran into a little problem where I could use some pointers: I want to fit both a 12v connector for my TomTom Rider 400 and a dual socket usb-connector onto my bike (I kinda need them for my trip...

Hi - hope someone can help. Bike turns over fine, but does not fire-up after dry storing during the winter. The only sign of anything different is no usual whine from fuel pump when switching ignition to 'on' position. Checked all the fuses (they are all OK), and there are no fault codes on the...

Which round headlight would work best taking into account the ignition switch? Also which brackets shouldi ultimately buy? I already bought the ten dollar ones, but which round headlight would be best again considering ignition switch?

There are a bunch on ebay, but i think they may be too short becuase of ignition switch, for my single round headlight. could you guys give me a couple of ideas?

Non-motorcycle related (but could be). An ignition coil question re a Briggs and Stratton, 8 HP generator engine (horizontal shaft). I noticed yesterday my generator (stored outside, under cover) was locked up solid. Seafoam is ALWAYS coated inside the cylinder so I knew the...

Hey folks, lately I've been contemplating putting some more time into tuning the FZ to take advantage of higher octane fuel. From what I gather, in stock trim these bikes are supposed to run on 87 octane fuel, however given that the FZ motor is of the R6/R6S family (which make or power and are...
