Hi peeps!
Been a while and im trying to bring life back into my FZ6. Have not rode her this year so I was doing all the fluids and a battery change. My memory is failing me and I dont recall what I should expect.
Mainly I need to know what the bike should do when you put in the key and push the buttons. I suspect when the fuel pump cycles it stays on(hopefully the cause of the CEL, not sure though since in cars usually its emission/engine related when you have a solid CEL)
key in, kill switch off, what do you see on the dash when you turn the key to on? Is there a check engine light? Does the pump cycle and how long? I have no CEL and fuel pump is off.
Key still on, kill switch moved on, engine not started. Now what do you see? Any change in fuel pump? When I do this I get a CEL and my fuel pump cycles but never stops.
Now once the bike is running. Should you still hear the fuel pump whine? I hear it whine. Sometimes I have a CEL but can get that to go away if I turn the bike off and on again 1 or 2 more times. Do not recall if you should still hear that whine when the bike is running, its faint but still can hear it when my ear is on the tank.
So anyone who can help me confirm what is "normal" that would be great!
Stuff I have done recently:
new battery is in place, it is a year old though. Was kept warm in the winter and shows 12.69 V on the meter and starts the bike fine. Dont think this is a problem any more. Old battery caused all sorts of weird issues. However Ill give that sucker props, original battery lasted 10 years!! Blah:rockon: I have replaced the oil and filter as well, not that it matters here though.
