    Please help me troubleshoot headlights

    I ran out of daylight. I'm thinking I'll just jump the relay. It seems like removing the relay altogether will make it easier to understand what the wiring is in the future (one less part to untangle). Actually, I may end up doing both: bypassing the relay for the headlights but also grounding...

    Please help me troubleshoot headlights

    There was continuity to the ECU port. I guess somehow it was busted while I was hooking up my grips. The bike started fine while the headlights were running even though it's been sitting for a month being turned on and off while I've been troubleshooting this. Given that, I don't feel a need to...

    Please help me troubleshoot headlights

    Thank you so much for all the help. I tried disconnecting the negative lead on the battery for a few minutes and it didn't solve the problem so I carried on with the troubleshooting as you suggested. The Yellow w/black wire at the relay is not dropping to zero voltage when the engine is...

    It's sunny and 10 degrees today. I'll be having another look before heading off to the Santa Claus parade. I'll let you know what I figure out.

    Please help me troubleshoot headlights

    Hi, The filaments are fine. If I bypass the relay and connect the circuit labeled as #2 in my picture the lights work as long as the key is turned or engine running. There's no voltage at the bulb socket. I confirmed the relays are the same part number before switching them. There's...

    Please help me troubleshoot headlights

    Hi, Can anyone please help me troubleshoot an issue with my headlights? I recently installed the Oxford heated grips and in the process was poking and prodding around in my relays on the left side of my seat and I think I messed something up. The heated grips are connected directly to the...

    Slip-ons - purchasing help please

    Hi, I'm looking to dress up my 2008 FZ6 a bit and would appreciate some input. I use it for my commute and don't really push it too hard but am getting bored of the sound of the stock exhaust. I'd like to get something that roars a bit but I don't want to to piss off my neighbours when I...

    New member welcome thread..

    Just got my (faster blue) '08 FZ6 a week ago (big upgrade from a '83 Maxim 750K). I busted 10k RPMs tonight :steve: and it's quite clear that there's no need for anything more than two gears if you're going to be driving legal speeds. I could just put it in 2nd once I pull out from intersections...
