Question FZ6 Wont start after accident

Was this bike bought as a wreck? And the gauge cluster was not connected to anything when you got it?
it was bought accident damage for £100 ($136), the bike was complete apart from the cluster and headlights missing, well the cluster was there just in a million pieces
 
no idea, believe it probably would but need the cluster working to confirm thats not an issue?
If you put the VIN from the right hand side of the headstock into the Yamaha website it will tell you how the bike left the factory and you should be able to figure out if it has an immobiliser.

What website? I've tried a few and none have an option for inputting the vin
 
Does this loom look like it has the headlight/speedo part? I think it does but the seller says no, pretty sure I can see all the plugs in @Gary in NJ pics

He mentions one of the headlight connectors has been cut and re-attached, so it's funny he would say that it does not include the headlight/speedo part. :)
Agree with Gary, should be all there.

Odd, I'm sure they used to have a feature that would let you do it.

There are other VIN decoder websites out there, just watch out for the ones that want to charge you for a free service!

Yeah I've tried a few, most only offer the most basic information.............. Like it's a 600cc yamaha......... Yeah I know that 😂
 
So to update, the loom came today, so when the add said the headlight connectors were cut and joined, I wrongly thought he meant the plug for the headlight and/or indicator but what he actually meant was 1 of the plugs that's need to be removed to remove the headlight loom has been soldered together making it impossible to remove without cutting the joins, so I basically have 2 options from here

1, Cut the new loom and my original loom and solder the 9wires together (I can solder so not an issue)

2, try and find a headlight loom

This was bought as a little project so it's not time critical, I'd prefer not to spend anymore on it though but I also don't want to be chopping a perfectly good loom incase I break the bike later.

So for now I'll try and find a headlight loom, maybe give it a few weeks see if I can get 1 at a decent price, if not, I might just bit the bullet and chop/join both looms together.

Rather than cut and solder, you could also find the correct connector and simply return to OEM. I have a website saved somewhere that is a source for OEM pins and connectors…it might be possible that Scott originally posted it…but let me look when I have time.
