Ooo shiny new forums!
I bought an 07 FZ6 to replace my aging 98 FZS back in August. One owner, FSH - loved it.
In the last month or so an issue has appeared where the bike instantly loses power, lights etc all fine. Pressing the kill switch off/back on would bump the engine into life and that was that. It only happened every not and again so it wasn't really a problem. Unfortunately the problem has slowly got worse to the point tit would do it at least half a dozen times on my ride to/from work (64 mile round trip). I took the RH switch gear apart and cleaned up the kill switch contacts (all seemed pretty clean, perhaps a little wear on the contacts), after that it was fine for a couple of weeks. However today it did it at least 30-40 times on my way to work and 20 times on the way home!
It does it whether the engines at idle, high speed, accelerating, decelerating, upright, leant over. Usually stabbing the kill switch works, but some times it stalls and I have to frantically get it in neutral before it will fire up. I can only assume it's the kill switch or perhaps a loose wire/connection somewhere. Immobilizer? I can't ride it how it is, far too dangerous. Was thinking of bypassing the kill switch temporarily to see if it solves the problem, but wondered if anyone else has experienced it on a later FZ6?
Cheers for reading
