Seems it is also frequently known as the 'Fuel Pump Relay'.

@BBROWN1664: No reactions from the dash lights@TOM VR46: Interesting post, thx. So checked the operation of the sidestand switch and got continuity with sidestand up, so all good. Clutch switch also fully functional.
Starting to suspect the issue is related to the Starter Circuit Cut-off Relay as this is connected with the fuel pump that suddeny got silent (no more ticking sound when turning the key). See if I can manage to check it and order a used one on Ebay. Will post the outcome when part has arrived.

Bike in neutral. Tried to switch the kill switch on and off a couple of times just to make sure I did not press it by accident, but did not help. Will try to check tomorrow if it might be defective/corroded.

When I turn the key, 3 lamps light up: The green light for the neutral gear, the red for the oil and a yellow for the gas. Within a second the two last is off and then only the green remains. Can't recall what happens when I press the start button so have to check this but I remember that all lights on the dashboard was flashing when it occured the first time.

Paid some £50 or so. Bought it from a big MC parts dealer. But I can always try to check it acc.to the routine in the workshop manual, just to rule this out.

FZS600 Fazer / Stone dead
« on: 22 July 2023, 07:23:35 pm »
Took my Fazer 2003 for a drive. Stopped for a few minutes at a parking lot but then it did not start - absolutely nothing happened when I turned the key / pushed the start button. Thought it might be the battery so tried to bump start it but not even the slightest tendency to ignite. Back home I started to check the battery and this is OK (12.5V). Checked the main fuse, also OK. Thought is was the starter relay as there in no 'click' when start button is pushed, so replaced it but still stone dead. Before when it was working, there was always a ticking sound for a few seconds when I turned the key, but this is also gone.
I am out of options now
. Anyone who can guide me in the right direction? Thx!

General / Re: Fazer's vs XJ6 Diversion F
« on: 06 April 2021, 10:16:05 am »The FZS is impossible to beat with anything new of a similar size even the FZ6 doesn't cut it. Time and time again my customers wish they'd never sold theirs or end up getting another, there's just nothing out there. All the newer stuff has bit's that better the FZS, like ABS or emission standard to get you into to cities etc, but none can match what the FZS can do, size, power, performance, weight, comfort (2up), running and service costs it was pretty well right straight off the drawing board.
You need to look at the adventure type bikes, but to match the FZS power/performance you'll have to look at 1000's which will hike the insurance and they're mostly bigger bikes all round.
FZS is as mentioned is unbeatable, good luck mate.
I am afraid your statement is very true
. No matter what I look at, the FZS seems to be an unbeatable concept within the money range I am prepared to spend. Guess I have to manage without the ABS and see if I can find a bigger fairing for my FZS to improve the motorway touring capabilities. Find the knee angle to be a bit sharp for long distances but I have seen that some mount extra foot pegs on the crash bars to be able to stretch the legs. Only have 8700 miles on my bike so makes sense to invest in some upgrades....

General / Fazer's vs XJ6 Diversion F
« on: 05 April 2021, 02:27:21 pm »
Really like my FZS600 from 2003 but time to find something more modern with ABS and a bit more adopted to touring, even if city commuting is what I use it for daily. Love the smooth 4-cyl engines but don't really need the power of FZ1-S or similar. Considered the GSX 650 F but too heavy! On the paper the 2009 XJ6 Diversion F seems to tick most boxes but not really sure it brings any added value apart from the ABS? Anyone with experiece of how the XJ6 compares with the Fazer's in terms of easy-handling and decent touring capabilities? Thx!

For me it worked perfectly by installing 30 mm raisers to the stock handle bar. Only the brake hose needs to be replaced (ordered a 400 mm long brake hose from BrakeQuip UK). Just note that the banjo thickness must be 8 mm to fit with the bolts. One end is angled 20 deg. Easy to replace.

FZS600 Fazer / Re: What have you done to your FZS600 bike today
« on: 20 September 2019, 09:29:00 am »
Hi all! Today my FZS from 2003, that I bought a year ago, finally passed 10 000 km (6200 miles) after 16 years! So I got almost a new bike for £1800. Quite a bargain.. 
. Has anyone here less miles than mine?
It's not really ideal for a bike to hardly be used at all for so many years, but so far everything seems to work as it should. A bit weird however is that I cannot use the choke at all. It becomes completely impossibe to start it even if I just touch the lever the slightest. On the other hand it always starts easily even down to below freezing point, with some help from the throttle. Anyone else having the same experience?
So not a lot of maintenance up till now. Replaced the coolant that smelled worse than a rotten egg, installed handle bar raiser 30 mm and H&B C-bow side luggage carrier for my Vanucci panniers. And most important, replaced the original tyres (!) with new Michelin Road 5 that made the world of a difference.
Drive safely!
