starting

So I've searched the forum probably 40 times and found some good troubleshooting but have not been successful yet and all of the posts varied some from my situation. I am new to streetbikes and have just bought a used 2004 FZ6 with 22k miles. The bike cranked great for 3 or 4 days with no issues...

I changed my spark plugs and as part of that process (to make access easier) I removed the battery, battery cage, and the airbox. After putting the airbox back on it just doesn't look right, and can't quite tell if its on correctly. I feel like its sitting on top but not actually clamped around...

I've changed the battery a couple of times on my 2004 FZ6. It's run fine every day for the last 3 months since I last renewed the battery. The battery is good but I haven't checked the connections yet. But 4 times in the last 2 weeks, after a short run, the bike wont start. I hear the...

Hey All! Long story short (that most of you probably saw) jay walker ran me off the road, so bike is smashed up and in need of repairs. I'm making it naked, so please feel free to contribute your advice and wisdom to my post about it here...

Sooo.... i have a 09 and just bought the coversion kit from ebay. The kit came with zero instructions and ive been racking my brain for the better part of a week trying to figure this thing out. I broke my google search trying find instructions. If anyone could help it would be gratefully...

So i tried starting my bike this morning and it just went reh reh reh reh reh reh.. no start. no signs of battery power loss the rehs were consistant. So i just roll started it and now its starting up just fine.. any ideas?

I've narrowed down my next bike purchase to either the BMW S1000R or Suzuki GSXS1000. I've been set on the BMW since it was released but I'm starting to have some reservations. I'm actually starting to think the GSXS1000 might be better than the S1000R. The differences are seemingly minor...

After 2 weeks of not being allowed to ride (hernia operation), I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms :( (The only other time I went this long was when I was away on holiday) luckily I'll be back on the road tomorrow :rockon: I still have to be careful moving my bike onto the road, but I'll...

I can't find one at all and am starting to contemplate fabricating one out of the OEM lever.

As the title says, I need help with making another trip on bike happen. I would love to have Suggestions on Accomodations, route and destinations please. Starting from Charlotte. Did TOD, Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiners etc., twice in the same month. :)

Hi guys, For the past few weeks I've been having some starting issues with my bike. It's error code 19. I've already removed, cleaned, and continuity tested my side stand switch. My next step is to test my starting circuit cut-off relay. However, since my electrical knowledge is limited, I want...

Anyone ride at Hallett? It is in Jenks, Oklahoma. My hubby and I are planning on trying out track riding this spring. We are starting out at Hallett in March. Just thought it would be great to meet some other FZ riders.

Hi Guys I lost a key to my bike somewhere between my parking space and my apartment. It's only a 50ft walk, but a well travelled path by other tenants. None of my neighbors claim to have found it. So, security measures must be taken as I smell a rat or two. I keep the bike chained and will...

Hello everyone! Fairly new FZ6 owner here who just purchased the bike back in August. I have been having a rather problem free run up until a few weeks ago when the bike refused to start after sitting in the rain for a day or two. The bike displays "Er-1" when trying to start it up. The bike...

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...
