Hey guys! This being my first post, I'd like to say hello and thank you for everyone's input! I've been riding for a day now... literally. Just bought a used 04' FZ6 and it has been running great (as far as I know what running great is) for the last day. Tonight I was backing out of a parking spot with the bike on when the bike fell over on me. I didn't drop it, it was one of those gradual "Oh... oh oh oh OH ****!" type of deals... Got up off it, lifted her up and she wouldn't start anymore. The bike would turn on, but when trying to start the engine, the lights on the reader would just blink simultaneously as I heard a "clicking" sound. Which sounds very familiar to me as a dead battery on a car at start up.
I ran into a homeless man named Cledus and he helped me push start the bike. He told me from his experience it may have been the battery or the sensor on the bike? With it barely running and idling after push starting it, I can see the lights flickering. He told me this was because the bike was now running off of the alternator.
I've had this bike 24 hours and tomorrow I am supposed to be in a different town with my gf for new years. I'm open to all suggestions and input, guys! I KNOW you guys know a hell of a lot more about this than I do!
Thank you so much everyone!
