starter

Started up for my morning ride today uneventfully. Met my buddy for coffee, went to start up and starter motor spins freely without the sprag clutch engaging. Bump started the bike and rode another 90 minutes or so. Got home, shut down, hit the starter, bike started right up. Three times...

Hello and good morning everyone! My first post on here, I just bought a 2009 FZ6 a week ago for a steal. Rode it home, took it out the next day for a lap, parked it before I went to the DMV to get tags. Now two days ago I was going over it and noticed the wiring harness all cut up (the front...

Hi All Have not posted on here in ages. Have been having far too much riding of course Well recently i had my baby girl (2008 FZ6N) start having an issue where intermittently (maybe 1 in 3) times when i would go to start her while she was warm/hot I get just a relay/solenoid click and NO...

Hi there, 04 FZ6 non-CA, in Garage since 2008, Fires with direct spray of starter, fuel pump does not sound like it comes on, Diagd 61 throws 12, 15 and 19. Seems like no power to FI system. Running through diag tests 30 thru 60 Relay clicks but no other action eg Fan doesnt turn on on 51...

I've searched for this but can't find anything. Maybe I'm not doing a right search but....is there instructions or video on how to swap out the starter? And at one point I came across a post where the starter would turn on while the bike was already started and being ridden and of course now I...

Hello all, Few months back the bike would not start, I hear one click. The gauge lights are all on and the engine with the orange light comes on. I thought battery, charged it up and started. Did this a couple of times and I bought a new battery. Did it again 2-3 day after new battery where...

Well my beloved FZ6 betrayed me last night. She must have known I was winterizing her for storage. I just washed it like I have done easily a dozen times before. Waxed her up and was taking her for a quick spin back to my garage. Low pressure hand wash, very careful. That is when I started...

Hey everyone, I searched the web and the forums for a similar issue and haven't found one matching my problem. when I attempt to start my 05 FZ6s I get one click from the starter relay and no turn from the starter motor. It's not a rapid click as described by other riders, just one single click...

Lovely day for a ride. About halfway through, saw the engine light was one. Pulled over immediately, suspecting overheating/fan not running. Pulled off helmet and realized that engines sounds 'odd'... even though the engine was running, the starter was engaged. Turned off key... gave a...

I posted before with the 04 fz6 I'm thinking I have a weak spark/electrical issue. Bike won't run, the only times I've had it run are when I installed a brand new battery ( about a month ago ) and when I've replaced the starter relay ( 3 days ago ) both times when it's ran its only stayed on...

I should know for sure later today, but I am fairly certain I will need to replace the starter on my 08 fz6 given the problems I am having Anyone have one for sale? The dealer listed a rebuilt one for $165 which seems slightly high. I have seen an 04 FZ6 for sale on ebay as well as one for a...

Hello, Recently I bought yamaha fz6. It looked nice and fully working. To start the engine it needed only one hit. After few days after purchase of a bike I could not start the engine. I can see on my speedometer engine yellow check. Starter is OK, gas pump is ok, but engine won't start at...

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...

This post is just an FYI. The starter relay that failed is off my 2006 Yamaha F150HP (about 2300cc's) OUTBOARD ENGINE that failed last spring(would NOT spin/CRANK over, just "click"). It was diagnosed and replaced shortly thereafter. (no issues afterwards) Just for S&G's, I cut it apart...

Hello All, It's been quite a while since I've posted - however I do browse the forums still regularly. I wish had something notably positive to post about - however I have found myself in a predicament and could really use any advice or input anyone may have before I start tearing the bike...

my older brother has been riding a 07 SV650S for about 8 months now and when i asked him what he thought about the FZ6 he stated that the inline 4 isn't a good starter engine because of its hi end power band. does his statement hold any water? ive never rode a bike before and am looking at...
