Hi there,
Was not hoping to start such a post anytime soon, but I've had one "not so smart" day on my calendar last week and now need some help.
First things first: fresh owner of a 2004 FZ6S that I recently bought, in a state that needed some fixing. Since I had some time on Saturday, I thought of at least hearing the motor running, as had not heard it running on purchase (it was a bargain, so I just went ahead with it. The battery was dead, as far as I could tell, so I through I'd jump start it from my car. I do have other motorbikes and did this before, but this time, somehow I left the car motor running and didn#t think twice about it. Engine turned, fuel pump worked, but no joy and at some point everything on the bike went dead... already checked the fuses under tank fuses and the ones in the back, (Forgot the gyro one, but I guess that's not the culprit), they're not blown. But now I cannot anything to light up, there's literally no sign of life on this bike. So, aside from being the idiot I am, what else can I check aside from expecting a fried ECU? Is a fried ECU going to kill all power on the bike? Fyi, it's my first injection-type motorbike
Thanks in advance, awaiting the rotten tomatoes
