2005 FZ6 with 34,000 Miles Dead
Hi all, I have a 2005 FZ6 with 34,000 on it. I love the bike and have never had a bit of trouble with it until a couple of days ago. I really get lost with electrical issues and hope you can help.
A couple of days ago I went to start the bike. I turned the key on, the display lit up and went through the diagnostics and I could hear the fuel pump start. Everything normal so far. When I hit the start button, everything went dead.No display, not a thing. I turned the key off and tried again, everything was dead. I also noticed that the start button was suddenly hard to push also. I have checked the battery, good. Checked the battery connections, good. Removed battery. Ohmed out between negative battery cable to chassis and have a connection. Checked between the positive cable to chassis and it shows open until I push the start button, then it shows a short. If I ohm across the start button it shows open until I push the button then shows continuity. Kill button shows open in off position and continuity in on position.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot, Ron
