So I've searched the forum probably 40 times and found some good troubleshooting but have not been successful yet and all of the posts varied some from my situation. I am new to streetbikes and have just bought a used 2004 FZ6 with 22k miles. The bike cranked great for 3 or 4 days with no issues but I did not go out and ride it after cranking it. Then one day I went to crank it and it turns over fast, but will not actually start. I thought maybe it was just low voltage from cranking it and not riding it. So I tried to bump start it with no luck. I then lifted the tank and attached jumper cables from my truck to the bike and it is spinning over really fast but still without firing. I feel like this rules out the low voltage possibility. Next thing I noticed is that since I have been having issues, the fuel pump will not prime like usual when I put the key to the on position in the ignition. I have rocked the Run/Stop switch multiple times while turning the key on and off to try to get the bike to prime in case it was a faulty killswitch. When the switch is in the kill position it will not even let the bike spin over though, so I figured that wasn't the culprit. I have checked the EFI fuse, and others on the passenger side of the bike and they were all good. Another thing I noticed is that when I try to start the bike, the engine light will be solid for 2 seconds, then blink rapidly while trying to start, then when I stop trying to start it, it shuts off. I checked D61 and it gave back values of 12,30,46 and D2 gave a value of 3. So I pulled the tip sensor plug and turned the key on, then plugged it back in as recommended by someone in another post but it didn't appear to make a difference. This is my first bike and I haven't even been able to leave my apartment with it, so it is kind of frustrating. I am sure it is something simple considering it purred like a kitten the day before. The only thing I did differently the day it stopped is killed the bike with the switch instead of the key.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. I grew up around ATV's and Dirt Bikes but these have a few more sensors and components then I am used to dealing with so I am open to any suggestions!
Thanks in advance,
My To Do List:
-Bypass Kill Switch Rocker
-Replace Fuel Pump Relay
-Check Voltage at Fuel Pump to see if it is getting voltage
-Roll the bike into the lake
