Thanks Scott. how hard is it to remove the fuel cap/key assembly? There seems to be 5 bolts holding it in place with a rubber seal. Is there anything else to remove to lift it off the tank?

hey guys, just an update to where I'm at. Well, I finish the cleaning process and got a 2 layers of por-15 tank sealer in there just in case. Everything looks good and I took the risk and made the purchase for the fuel pump($150 for 2009 model, for some odd reason, my 05 fuel pump cost around...

ok, wow, I am very surprised... it actually works. I bang the crap out of the pump with a wooden block and used high pressure compressed air to blow through the outlet, pushing everything back up into the filter. afterwards, I attached the battery again and it spins freely. It was so quiet...

Scott, I've been trying to get the pump spinning but can't seem to do it. I've check from every angle but can't seem to find the shaft you're talking about that can be spin without opening the metal shell. I did managed to make some progress with the old "knock it with a wood block" method but...

ok, I've been running electrolysis on the tank for 2 days and it's looking good. I still have some work to do but it's turning out better then I expected. I'll be getting some POR-15 tank sealer and rust preventer into the tank when I'm done with electrolysis. I also did the fuel pump and it...

Well, I think I'll have to find a way to rebuild the tank. I just can't afford to get a new tank and fuel pump with that kind of price (about $500/tank & $400 for pump). I have done some reading online and found a way called electrolysis that seems very simple but effective. Have any of you...

well guys, I didn't try another battery with an inline fuse but I did try to ohms it and got nothing, so I pulled the fuel pump. Jesus Christ, this is what I saw. I guess i'll be needing a new pump and maybe a new tank??? a lot of cleaning in the tank might do but I see bare metal.. not a good...

I was looking up the cost of replacement for the fuel pump just in case I can't rebuild it and I was surprised to see that it's over $400, much more then any vehicle fuel pump I've seen in my life, including Porsche. But I did find some on ebay for a 09-10 fz6 fuel pump for around $140. My...

ok, got home late from work today and didn't have much time to work on the bike until after dinner. well, as Scott mentioned, when I pull the plug to the fuel pump, the 10a EFI fuel doesn't blow when I turn the ignition to on. but when I plug it back in, turn the key to on, fuse blows again...

to answer the previous question, the fuel gauge works fine, all lights & signals works. I know the plugs are getting spark because it does fires up when I spray some engine start into the intake. so, this "short" would have to be isolated to the fuel delivery system. this is where I need to...

yes, the only thing replaced was the battery. when I got the bike, all it came with was the owner's manual, no service's manual. I'll check out boneman's site and dl those manuals and will check the wirings. I can't remember what I could have done to short anything except maybe leaving it...

lol.. yes, it's on run. starter will not turn over if on kill. I actually found something out just now. something I should of check from the get go but forgot to. Open up the fuse box and found the "EFI" 10a fuse was blown. so, I replace the 10a fuse, turn the bike to on, but still no...

ok, so, I lifted the tank and look around and can not find anything wrong. both wire harness were connected, so I unplug them and reconnect them just in case there was a bad connection but still nothing. :confused:

thanks for the replies. I never thought of that but when I lifted the tank to replace the battery, I was very careful not to pull anything. That doesn't mean that I didn't accidentally pulled something out. I'll check it and get back with you guys. Hopefully it's that and not my fuel pump...

hey guys, thank you for the info. I finally got around to working on the bike but got into another problem. first off, the bike have been sitting there for a few months before I had a chance to join the forum and ask for help and 2nd, the battery died and I had to get a new one. so, today, I...

Thanks for the replies. That was very detail and I appreciate it very much. I'll look for it tonight when I get home from work. Thank you! Mike

Hi everyone, I am new to this site so please help me how in anyways you can by pointing me in the right direction or giving me advice to solve my problems. I have a 2004 Yamaha FZ6 that I just got online. The previous owner said he drop the bike in a low speed (10mph) in a parking lot...
