Hi, before anyone tries to help me let me explain my background. Got my bike licence three yrs back and bought a new FZ6 S two yrs back. Only done 1000 miles on the bike and know absolutely nothing about bikes (can change my car tyre, anything more complicated needs a garage). So, will need detailed instructions for this problem.
Tried starting my bike this morning as I was washing my car and thought it would be a nice idea to let the engine tick over as I had not ridden for 5 months. The bike would not start although the starter was making some attempts but it seemed like the spark wasn’t there to ignite the fuel. The starter attempts could be classified as feeble than usual but you don’t notice the starter attempts usually as the bike would start pretty quickly. The parking light would go off during any such attempts. After about 15 such attempts, now the starter has stopped trying and any attempt to start makes the engine trouble warning light (Second from top) come on.
Now, Is my battery low or problem with the spark plug or problem with fuel delivery to engine? Its pretty cold here now and temp is close to freezing throughout the day. Could that make any diff??
