So, in the end I did flush the float bowls and look what I found:
Now it starts on the button, just need to blip the throttle a few times and that's all.
Thanks to everybody !

Cheers Darrsi 
One more question though: I am servicing the bike and since the starting issue might come from blocked jet I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to clean the tank? However I don't know how to do that, any tips??

Ok, so nothing to take apart then? I just go to the engine, find the screws, unscrew them, let the fuel come off and screw them back, right?

Ha ha, I love this forum
Thank you very much for your kind explanation Fazerider (and all the others as well ^^ ). I'll will try this manip and see if it changes anything.
At the moment I am trying to do as much as I can, like oil+ oil filter, coolant fluid, brake fluid, brake pads and so on. I have someone to help me to do the carbs adjustment and I'll try to do the fork oil change on my own....
Appart from that, I just need someone to explain to me in detail how to drain the float bowls.... Unfazed kindly showed me a picture with the screws I should use but I need a "step-by-step" on how to do it...
And to answer your question, I live in the south, in Poole.

Wow... this is starting to get me worried 
So to sum up:
The ticking is BEFORE I start the bike and when I used the choke, I used to push it full... (but I will not anymore!) I do need to put the choke on to keep the engine ON.
So I guess I do have a problem with this bike
Unfazed: I have never carried out this sort of thing, could you explain to me the detail of the operation? If I understand well, I will have to take the tank off, right? Or do I need to take the engine off??
Once again, if I understand well, I should switch the ignition on until the tick stops, on and off again until I it stops doing this sound? What does this do exactly?

When they're full the pump detects the increase in back pressure and cuts off. There is also a timer so if the carbs are completely empty it may cut off before they fill… in which case you need to switch off and turn on the ignition again.

« on: 11 June 2016, 05:53:45 am »The 2 pipes should be the coolant reservoir overflow and the fuel tank breather/drain hose, if so they are in the correct location, just ensure they are inside in the hose holder.
The battery is unlikely to be an issue as they are a sealed unit and does not have an over flow pipe.
I checked and they are in the hoses holder
Unfazed, when you say "Loosen the screws a few turns to let all the fuel drain out"when you say" Where is the fuel going to come out??? (Sorry I'm a proper newbie in the motorcycle world
)Also, I did try to start the bike without the choke, and it did start first time eventually but I still need to put the choke on afterwards to maintain the engine on, at least for a few minutes. Do you think it's normal ?
I have noticed this "tick tick tick" sound when starting, so it shouldn't be?

So, I should:
- Check the battery
- Try to drain the float bowls
Darsi: how would you reposition the pipes and where?
Fazerider: I haven't tried as it always seems to need the choke, unless the engine is already warm, in which case the bike start on the button.
Unfazed: what screw are you talking about?
What is weird is that, as I said, when the engine is warm, it starts straight away, no need of choke....
I will try what you advised and let you know.
Thanks!!!

FZS600 Fazer / Moto laid on the floor - Starting issues
« on: 08 June 2016, 05:44:38 am »
Hi there, a few days ago, as I had just finished a U-turn I put both my feet on the floor and for some reason (that I can still not explain) I lost my balance and had to lay my bike on the right side.
I didn't drop it, and even managed to kill the engine with the red switch. I was lucky enough to be helped straight away by someone who saw the scene and the bike didn't stay more than 2 minutes on the floor.
However, when we put it back on its wheels, I noticed some petrol leaking from the 2 tubes seen on the photo (please don't pay attention to the down-pipes: YES I will paint them back to black ^^ ).
It then took me a few minutes before I was able to start it again (had to realize that 1) the kill switch was on 2) the 1st gear was engaged ....).
Now, since then I've noticed that when I try to start my bike when the engine is cold, it takes 2 or 3 attempts before it actually ignites (with the choke ON).
I might imagine something but I'm pretty sure it would start on the button before, whether the engine was cold or not.
I would like to know if it seems normal for you or not?

Hi everyone!
I've got a 2000 FZS600 and wondered how to remove the baffle??
I looked up on youtube to find a video but... nil.
I searched (quickly) on this forum to no avail...
Any suggestions?
