I'm new to 600cc bikes and recently acquired a 2008 FZ6 S2 model from an auction. Unfortunately, the wires near the immobilizer and ignition were cut due to hot wiring. I successfully soldered the wires back together, but upon turning the key, nothing happened. The small clock on the dash appears when I press a button, indicating power is reaching the dash.
I've checked and replaced the indicators fuse, ensured all other fuses are not blown, inspected the battery, which reads 12.4v without any voltage fluctuations when key turned ON.
I have checked the continuity from the battery and everything seems fine
I visited a nearby motorcycle dealership where I was informed about the possibility of the ECU being locked, which blew my mind. Seems like £££££
Is there a solution that doesn't involve replacing the entire ignition system with an immobilizer?
Could someone kindly guide me in the right direction to bring this bike back to life?

So I have regular sized hands (roughly medium to large). I have always had an issue with the fingers in most gloves being too long, but lately the situation seems to have gotten worse. Since 2012 I have been buying Richa Sub Zero waterproof textile gloves because when I could find a pair (free from manufacturing defects), they have always just fitted -
- being textile meant they werent tight across my palm and allowed unrestricted movement of my thumb.
- being textile meant they would dry out quick, unlike leather which would retain moisture.
- has Suede on the palms and sides of the index finger - great for wiping water of the visor or cleaning bugs off.
- has regular cuff length and cuff was reletively thin. So gloves were easy to get under a jack and long enough to never poke out while riding.
So I went to go buy another pair and Richa and stop selling them, instead replacing them with the sub zero 2 glove, which has a shorter cuff length, which for a mid season glove dosent make any sense to me. So over the last few weeks I have tried all the following gloves
- Richa Sonar - to thin thermally, fingers 5mm-15mm too long
- Richa Ice Polar - thick enough, fingers 5mm-10mm too long
- Bering Boogie - to thin thermally, fingers 5mm-10mm too long
- Rev'it Bornite - thick enough, fingers 5mm-15mm too long
- Dainese Livigno - to tight & to thin thermally, fingers 5mm-10mm too long
- Furygan Ares Evo - too thin thermally, fingers 5mm-15mm too long
- Alpinestars SR-3 V2 - thick enough, fingers 5mm-15mm too long
I have researched all of what J&S, Infinity has to offer, and have vertually gone through all of Sportbikeshop stock of textile gloves. What frustrates me of is the lack of qaulity control in the sizing, its all over the fc*king place.
So now I am trying out -
- Richa Sub Zero 2 - to see a) weither they will fit or b) if my fears about the cuff length are founded.
- Pharao Quebec WP - Tried a pair of these on in the Harlow SBS store, they actually fitted, but there were defects in the inner linner. So have bought 3 pairs to get one good pair.
In summary, is anyone else having the same issue with gloves as I am having atm..?
Hello,
Sorry for the odd request, the background to the question is that my friends bike had work done in France..now the bikes carbs seem to be pulling down on the carb rubbers. Seems like something is fitted wrong. Hence asking for pictures to investigate further.
Thank you
where does the long thin radiator hose go to and could do with any pics showing the big rubber engine and shock guard, i took them off in a hurry after 3 spark plugs snapped off leaving just the threads on my new mk1 fzs6 project :eek thanks
Just joined. Bought a 2000 Fazer 600 after a 15 year break from bikes, feels good to be back.
Last owner owned the bike for 19 years and has been looked after, it is overdue a service and needs a tyre. I’m sure I’ll find lots of useful advice on here.
Will be advertising on normal sites in few months, But if anyone is looking for a really clean honest 600 fazer 2008 (blue), it is available now, I will put a years MOT on.
Details:
- Mileage - 27k ,
- Hel black braided lines
- De-cat pipe fitted,
- Race tech Gold Valve Emulators and Springs fitted.
- Had 24K service , oil , plugs , air filter, valve clearances , brake fluid.
- New tyres and new front genuine Yamaha brake pads just fitted.
Accesories:
- Honda heated grips , Tinted high screen, Front fender extenda,
- Givi rack (top box available for extra),
Is it just me that thinks they are far too bright - the new cars that have led rear lights, they are so bright they look like constant brake lights and then when they brake it looks like fog lights - totally unnecessary IMO. And some seem to be a massive expanse of red - really big fat lights. And then at the same time seem to have tiny tiny indicators :rolleyes
Hello
Changing the fork oil on a friends bike, as it hasn't been done for 10 years. So I am going to remove the forks,from the bike. Then I'm just going to let the oil drain with the forks upside down for a day or two. The springs just come out, don't they? As I don't fancy stripping the forks down. Then spary in some brake and clucth cleaner leave for a bit to evporate then maybe splash a bit of Isopropoly alcohol to clean the whole system out.
Or am I being stupid.
If anyone can please help. Had the throttle cables out months ago, before finally getting round to valve adjustment and ais removal. Now its time to put back together,. when fitting the coolant pipes that go into the cam cover. The piece at the top which the throttle cables cross, do the throttle cables go over or under the tube/hose. Or does one go over and one under neither really looks right . Any help much appreciated.
