start

I have recently bought my bike from a local guy. The bike has ran and started fine for the last few weeks, but recently been having problems. Also, the bike has a brand new battery that was put in before purchasing. I started my bike and rode it during the day, on my way home it started fine...

Hello everyone, I'm new here and have searched far and wide for an answer to this problem. I have a 1988 FZ600. When I push the starter button, the engine won't turn over (the oil light comes on--nothing else happens). I've traced this to the flasher box. From the flasher box (relay?) a...

For the long weekend, May25th(technically only saturday and maybe sunday), I'm planningn for a trip to The tail of dragon and Mountain Meander - Upper Slice of Route 28 starting from Charlotte. My Plan: 1. Start on Saturday Morning from Charlotte, NC around 6 in the morning(approx 3hrs)...

I survived 4 months of training and pinned on my Warrant Officer bars yesterday! I can't wait to get my bike out of storage and start riding again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Fellas OK, I took my FZ6 for a first longer ride (around 150 miles) as the weather was gorgeous. On my way back, 3 miles from home, as I was pulling away from the traffic lights the engine spluttered and stalled. A "ER_1" message came up on the display and the engine wouldn't start. I...

2005 Fz6 - somebody change "guage" to "gauge" in my subject >.> So my bike sat for two years. Yeah. I had a family member that was supposed to start it and run it for a few minutes every week while I was out of the country, but they "couldn't figure out how to turn the key" and didn't call to...

While adding a USB charging port I accidentally bumped my tank and knocked it off the bike. This pulled the wires/terminals out of the plug and broke the fuel line. Not too big of a deal. I installed a new fuel line and wire the pump back up. When I turn the key I can hear the pump whirring and...

Recently I've done two minor maintenance/tuning tasks and I seem to have cured issues I didn't know I had. The first was a new battery. It let me down at work last week, I assumed because I'd been teaching my 2 year old to start the bike, flatted the battery and killed off that crucial last...

I am preparing. My fz6 s2 for track day.. When i remove speedo it does not want to start... What can i do to make it work without speedo.. Thank you

Hi guys, Ive had my 2005 fz6 stored in a warehouse all winter and would start it up now and then and it worked fine. I brought it home last week on a 50 degree day , I dont havea garage so its out in a fenced area. I tried starting it a few days later and now it seems like the...

It's that time. How do you prepare?

Parked my bike in October last year for winter. Took the battery out on Saturday . Charged it up and tried to fire up the bike. It won't start . I tried to start with loose negative connection as I manage to loose the nut . Charged the battery again and got new nut . Now its properly tied...

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, and actually glad I found an FZ6 forum that seems pretty active :D Hopefully someone reads this because I'm dumping a lot of info out here. Here's my situation, bought an '09 FZ6 S2 in May 2014 and have been commuting on it 36 miles a day ever since, with...

Hi Firstly, I've read the thread about the immobiliser which is currently on the 1st page and I have similar issues but his seems to be have been resolved with a fuse being blown. My battery has been dodgey for a few months and occasionally wouldn't start the bike so i'd just jump start it...

A similar thread was just posted but I'm having the same issues simply from when the bike gets started in neutral and put into first gear. It's almost like putting it into gear without using the clutch. There is a grinding spinning sound then clunk, it's in gear. I pull in the clutch and my...

I got my 2008 FZ6 about 8 months ago, and have put almost 9000 miles on it so far. I just quit my day job in R&D at Tesla motors, to start up doing metal fabrication on my own. I have a couple things I want to make for my FZ6, hopefully I can build and sell them as well. Im waiting to hear...

Hello everyone! Fairly new FZ6 owner here who just purchased the bike back in August. I have been having a rather problem free run up until a few weeks ago when the bike refused to start after sitting in the rain for a day or two. The bike displays "Er-1" when trying to start it up. The bike...

Hi, FZ6 S2 Haven't been around for a while and my bike has been untouched in the garage for a couple of years... Long story... Anyway, I tried to start her yesterday and the battery couldn't quite make it (understandable)... So I charged her overnight and she started first thing...

Hello everyone in the StreetFighter forum! This winter I'm hoping to get my naked conversion completed (2004 FZ6) so I can ride a brand new bike in the spring. :rockon: I've messaged a few members already and have gotten some general information about part numbers that I will need, and...

Just noticed this starting to happen on a 3 day camping trip. I had expected the bike to start when having the clutch lever pulled in while in gear with the kickstand up. Presuming at this point it is the small switch attached to the clutch perch or connections. Any other possible reasons...
