FZ6 won't turn over

[Mancolt]

I fixed the other issue I was having, thanks to all of you, but when I went to turn the bike on, it wouldn't turn over. Before I had the previous issue of the front sprocket coming off the gear, the bike was starting just fine. It sat for about 3 weeks while I waited to fix the sprocket issue. I've never had an issue letting it sit that long before. I took a video of what's happening:

Thanks again for helping me fix the issue with the front sprocket! Hopefully you guys can identify this problem just as easily as you did that one, and the fix is just as simple.

Your battery is about dead or out of life, no doubt. You can re-charge it and get it load tested before replacing it, but if theres 6 volts cranking (instead fo the usual close to 13), I'd be surprised.. Its cranking MAYBE half as fast as it should. It also needs power for the ignition, fuel system, etc(which it presently does NOT have).

You can jump start it off a 12 volt car battery however DO NOT RUN THE CARS ENGINE, it will damage your bike..

At least its not gone as far as the "BUZZ ERROR 1" stage! That's scary until you can sort the battery: error 1 can get expensive if it's not the battery.

Get it plugged in, over night, then give it a go. It should fire fresh from the charger. You'll probably get another few weeks/month or so out of it with either constant use or constantly plugged in, but it needs replacing.

Here is s thread on electrical testing if you have hand held meter. 3 weeks shouldn't take the life of a battery. http://www.600riders.com/forum/showpost.php?p=579412&postcount=6

For perspective battery is 6 years old on the FZ and it just sat for 28 days (rain) and voltage was 12.9+. Does you bike have an alarm on it?
