Any update on this awesome build!? I really want to install an r6 swingarm on my 05 fz6and I love the seat! but I dont have the tools to custom fab the mounts for the shock or seat yet.

What year fz6 are you working on? Looks awesome! I've been thinking of doing damn near the same thing to my 05. Wonder if it would work?

Will do. As soon as i figure out how. :P

id this ever get finished?

Logged ~400 miles and no signs of any problems. Thanks everyone for all the input.

i wear headphones on long trips. listen to pandora.

wow... yep if this doesnt fix it, itll be hot wired or ill be junk yard diving.

correct. when circuit is complete, switch is in run position. regarding the soldier joints, they looked and felt good to me. so you could eliminate the kill switch if one wanted to. just jump the 2 wires going to it.

+1 that's basically whats been happening to me.

I dont have a garage to keep it in but i do keep it covered. its a cheep walmart cover so moisture dose build up under it, but its minimal. got it in the garage and took it apart. first thing i checked was the kill switch. sorry for the huge pics... it was kind of a pain to get...

So i was checking some things after work and when i tapped on the kill switch, it started to sputter. so i wiggled it and sure enough it died and came back to life soon after. still going to check everything else tomorrow, but im fairly sure its the kill switch.

Should fault codes appear on the cluster under normal operation or do i have to go into diag. Mode?

Thanks. I will defiantly call just to be sure. I didnt think about the side stand switch. Ill have a look at that as well. The cluster doesn't lose power when it happens so probly not the battery leads. Still worth taking a look tho.

Sorry for the bad grammar. Typing on my phone is sketchy at times. I've checked my vin and my bike was not included in the recall. If it were, i would get it replaced whether it was failing or not.

Vin checks out. Already loomed it up. Checked the tps anyways and all is good there. It has only happened while cruising straight up or accelerating. Hasn't happened in a turn yet (knock on wood). Also, I've Not been on any terribly rough roads. But i will check for chaffed wires.

Thanks. Will try that too. Also i checked the oil yesterday and it was about 1/2' above the fill line. While i was on a slight incline, this still concerned me. Ill be in a garage tomorrow so ill check it again there.

Im going to have all day tomorrow to check over things. I will definitely add that to the list.

I have an 05 fz6 with 37k miles on it. Had it for about 4 months now and have been driving it almost every day with no problem. This started happening about a week ago. I'll be driving normally and i experience a complete loss of power, no noise coming from the exhaust and no response from the...
