A friend of mine has a 2007 FZ6 that hasn't cranked in about 10 years and its a really nice bike very low miles and it just hasn't been fooled with really since the day it quit and I don't really know the history behind the day it quit. Ok we've decided to try and fix it and I've never really ever even looked at an FZ6 but have a little know how for trouble shooting stuff and electronic background and with that said first thing to mention is the bike turns over nicely just no crank and on the display or odometer or whatever its called I read an error code of 43 so I got to reading about codes and what they meant and how to erase the ECU memory and it did clear out the 43 error code so today we tried again to crank it and no go and instantly got the same error code of 43.
Yesterday we installed new sparkplugs and I noticed all 4 of the old plugs looked black and sooty looking not wet at all. Done a little reading and watching Youtube and am I correct in saying Code 43 means the bike isn't communicating with the ECU to tell the bike to fire or crank? Checked simple stuff like kick stand sensor connection and also the crank sensor and it was 200+ ohms can't remember the exact number but good I think. lol does 43 mean the bike is braindead? Thanks in advance to replies
