    Headlight inop (ecu?)

    You are right all it does is say yeah lights are on, but it does this by grounding the yellow and black wire. this wire runs up to the control side of the relay and completes the circut so the contacts will be shut and power can flow through the large wires to the lights. I jump the yellow and...

    Headlight inop (ecu?)

    Latest "winter boredom" mods

    nice, the radiator side cover is very quick and simple yet makes a bid difference in the look. it was one of the early mods for me and i love it. :rockon: the tinted turn signal is cool, did you do it yourself or did you order covers?

    Spark plug issues

    looks pretty good, at worst a little cold or rich but not bad. how many miles are on the plug. since the black is only on outside and not in the middle is a good sign. if you had oil fouling it would be wet and have black on everything. fuel fouling it would have been wet also but cleaned...

    Crud In Original Factory Break-in Oil:

    nothing to worry about all motors do that, its called break in for a reason. everything wears along with pieces it mates with so there is a perfect fit. you will get little metal shavings from this process. they say to change oil early when new for this exact reason, you want that stuff out...

    Is this the normal tickingnoise that fz6's are known for? *VIDEO*

    I figured it wasn't that but wanted to make sure it was not overlooked before you jumped into the motor. good luck, mine had a slight tick that seems to have gone away after my oil change.

    Is this the normal tickingnoise that fz6's are known for? *VIDEO*

    it got louder when you went down near exhaust near header and near end of video. do you have an exhaust leak, small ones can come out as a tick noise? what exhaust is that it sounds good? does it tick when you rev it up or just at idle?

    Air Injection System (AIS) removal - quick ?'s

    cool thanks for the description on how it works, i can see where some very small gains and taking away the pop can come now but minimal is what i would assume, but every little bit helps if it makes a rider more confident!!
