Okay, I think I round the problem but I need feedback to know for sure. Looking at page 8-17 (Electric Starting System) of the service manual I tested the Starter Relay. With the Key Switch ON there was continuity on the starter relay coupler. With the Key Switch OFF there STILL WAS...

biker_dude43, Last night I did remove the main fuse and measured the current. There was no current being drawn so we can guess that the starter relay is working properly though still drawing current with the fuse installed. I also got a recommendation from my co-worker to test the battery by...

Thanks biker_dude43. I will try that tonight. When you write "pull the main fuse" do you mean the fuse next to the starter relay or the main fuse located in the fuse box towards the rear of the bike. Thanks for you help again and I will let you know how it went.

Yes, the ignition switch was OFF and the Key was in my pocket the whole time during this test.

I do not have any aftermarket parts that use up power.

Hello again fellow FZ6 riders, A few weeks ago I have been having battery problems with my bike. I think I finally isolated the problem. My battery has been losing charge or not holding charge for some time. I bought a tender and it works for a few days after fully charge. After reading...

Thanks sjk625. The problem with the directions is not how they worded it but the pictures they contain. They pictured the clutch side as the left side and they wrote that the smaller slider goes on the left. It didn't make sense to me either but I just needed some back-up. Thanks again

Hey there, 1st post for me. I am a fairly new rider, I have a 2005 Silver FZ6. Love the bike. I did have a question about frame sliders. I purchased a pair of T-Rex No-Cut Sliders through ebay. One is shorter and the instructions say the shorter one goes on the left side (Clutch Side) and the...
