Mornin foccers,
Recently the Fazer (03, 600) seems to have developed electrical gremlins. Initally it seemed like the battery was knackered, so I changed it for new one. All was fine for a while but problem is back and seems to be getting worse.
The main issue is that the bike won't start if it has been left for more than a few hours. Instrument panel comes on as does fuel pump. But when I press the starter nothing, so I end up bumping the thing. Have checked all the fuses and they're fine. Put an ammeter across Negative battery connection yesterday and the amps seem fairly stable.
Was out for a blast this am and now the lights, front & rear, have stopped working. Indicators are still ok. Getting really frustrated.
I don't use the bike everyday so wonder if underuse is part of the problem!
Any help would be appreciated.
