Booster plug fz6 impressions |

After looking for reviews on the booster plug specific to the fz6, couldn't find any for how the bike responds to the installation. However, read plenty of good reviews on other bikes so thought I'd give it a shot and bought one, to see if it could smooth out the snatchy throttle at all.
So here's my honest review - it is definitely an improvement over the standard set up. It definitely idles stronger, as per the richer fuel mixture. It's slightly easier to pull off from a standstill smoothly. However, don't expect it to 100% fix this issue. I'd say the biggest difference I notice is when feathering the throttle on corners to maintain speed. Before, this was really jerky compared to other bikes I've had and a bit disconcerting. Now, I'm able to adjust throttle mid corner without it lurching so much. Again, it doesn't go away 100% but it's about a 50% improvement and keeps my rides smoother.
It doesn't change the character of the bike or anything, but it's this small improvement that makes it a lot easier to commute every day. If you use your bike a lot, the small improvement on each ride does make a big difference so it's worth it for that.
If you use your bike mainly for weekend scratching and high speed stuff, you won't really notice a difference at though rpms. It is most effective at 4000rpm and below, I think.
Hope this helps anyone considering buying one to make a choice ?

Maintenance on forgotten bike |

Hi all, my second post since I forgot about the bike since last time...
My FZS600 RJ02 (2001) has been standing in a cold garage since 2017, battery dead and fuel tank full. I think the engine was completely dismantled and serviced not long before it got put away.
What´s the easiest/cheapest wat to get it running again? I was thinking new battery and remove spark plug covers and "start it" to let the old oil move around before firing it up for real. Maybe I´ll even drain the fuel, I don´t know
Thanks! any info or help is appreciated
Edit: Is the original battery GT12B-4 same as YT12B-BS?

Neutral and oil pressure lights inop |

Hello Guys.
I have a 98-99 Fazer. I just recently noticed the neutral light and the oil pressure warning light does not come on. The indicator lights and the high beam light are working fine. I have checked the fuse box and they are ok. On the manual it states another fuse (nº8 Parking/hazard lights fuse) which I can´t find because the previous owner installed an alarm, and it´s quite confusing for me the wiring. Could this fuse be the culprit?
Do you have an idea of the issue? Would it be the bulbs itself that are inoperative? How to replace them? Or would it be the wiring?
Any help?
Thanks
Mike
