Yes, the one I acquired is a S2 meter with Abs light (always on with red color). The wire harness between meter and ecu has two connectors (maybe three?) that I know of. One on the back of the meter and one on the left side of the bike, between the side panel and the chassis. Could be worth...

Hi, I aquired a second-hand meter from a chop-shop. The RPM counter was OK after that. I haven't tested the measurement of the speedometer yet. But RPM's were about 5k idle on old meter, ~1k on new. If it happens again I would consider replacing the ECU. I actually cut open my old meter unit...

It could be due to so many starts and stops in my garage. I didn't see it when I first got the bike a few weeks ago. I think my measurement was originally 12.2v not running, then around 13 something on idle, and 14,04v when running the throttle a bit. But hey, could be that I touched some loose...

I believe it was measured not running. Another thing I noticed was when I measured the voltage on the battery it was jumping all over the place. All the way down to 6-7 volts. I can try doing it with the bike running as well. Although I'm not sure it's possible to enter diag mode when bike is...

Thanks for the clarification. But did you plan to attach a diagram? I don't see the diagram. I have downloaded the service manual for all FZ6 versions which is 538 pages long. Maybe you can point to a page in that one. Thanks again @Gary in NJ for replying. I am trying to rule out all the...

No change when I disconnected the ECU connector and aircleaned it. Did also check for connectivity on the yellow/blue cable between ECU and meter. Seemed fine. Did not have time to checkif the fuses were "shorted" when toggling light buttons though. But what is measuring the RPM on this bike...

The previous owners said that the fuel gauge is also off the charts. Either shows full or empty. I am not what to think - It seems to me that after I disconnected some wiring harness couplers, that fault went away. I noticed that, because I had the tank standing upwards to get to the battery...

Oh, yes. That's clever. I will try it tonight.

Unfortunately the speedo unit is clued together without any screws. To open it I would have to use a dremel tool and cut through the glue. @Gary in NJ About the fuses. It could be, by why only 4 out of 7 fuses?

the green ones does not have a connection to negative on the battery. The red ones do. Is that normal?

Hi again. Haven't gotten around to dismantling the instrument cluster yet. But I did find some strange effect last night. When probing for connection with my multimeter last night, I found this: I pulled out all the fuses from the fusebox in the back. Then I measured connectivity between the...

It has been stored in a shipping container on their property. I will open the instrument cluster and see. Thanks for the tip.

Norwegian here. Just bought a bike that has the same problem. 2008 fz6-s(S1). Same conditions, happened after winter hibernation two years ago. Previous owners had the speedo unit changed. Problem went away, but reappeared on new speedo unit this year. These are the faults on my bike: - 5k RPM...
