spoke with my mate and he said that he doesn't believe that The shop fully charged the battery before I installed it in the bike so he will be bringing his charger over tonight and I will give it a good long charge and that way we can work from scratch as he said there is no point testing currents if the main power source is no good.


I'm really hoping it's just a lack of power in the battery as I've had problems with the last 3 bikes I've owned that I've had to fork out lots of money on to rectify and I don't want to have the same issue with this bike otherwise this will happen
 

Hi all,


I'm having electrical issues with my 1999 Fzs600. It started last week and has been getting worse, the speedo and rev counter go nuts and cut out, at stages when this happens I pull the throttle and strains and makes a knocking noise. I have checked any connections as best I can and they all seem fine. I had it hooked up to my car to check if it was a dying battery and when connected faults seems to go. So bought a new fully charged battery and fitted it at the shop and all seemed fine until about half way home it shared to happen again, managed to get home and not it will not start properly, when the ignition is on it makes that clicking noise from the solenoid but for ages rather than just a few seconds. When it does finally fire up pulling the throttle it just strains and makes that knocking noise but when any electrics are activated eg the headlights that noise goes but all other faults still going on. Also I seem to now have lost an indicator but the bulb is fine and I should also mention that when all the cults are happening there is a lot of little popping and backfiring noises coming from the exhaust.

All the answers is just what I need    Panel beating and paint spraying are my thing but when it comes to mechanics or electrics I'm a complete novice.


Just got back from a trip to Cornwall, we were ment to be there all week but due to illness from the wife and daughter we came back early, but I don't mind as it means I've got the rest of the week off to work on the bike 


I've always wanted to try a blast out on a S1000RR but could never bring myself to book a test ride, as the wife would kill me because I would just have to buy it 

Hello all,

New guy here, just wanted to say hi and looking forward to drinking in the help and Knowledge from others and hopefully being able to share any of my, be it minimal knowledge.

I recently purchased a 1999 FZS600 Fazer from my friend and it's the best bike I've ever bought or rode, so much better than my last bike which was a 1991 FZS600 Genesis.
