I wiggled every Lecky block and sensor wire etc... and also cleaned up the kick stand switch, all with no effect to running engine; however I noticed the clock and tacho have reset? and this has happened a few times recently. I've not diconnected the battery since I last went out on it, so I'm further puzzled with this. Surely this wouldn't have anything to do with the symptoms. My gen 1 is a 2002 and the Meta Alarm I believe was fitted when new. I'm thinking now it may be the alarm that's causing my intermittent fault. I'm wondering if a Meta dealer be able to check the alarm or would it be better to just get it removed?
If your clocks are resetting, it means that there's an issue with your main power wires somewhere from the battery, as the only way you can reset the clocks is by taking them off. I can't remember the wiring schematics for the FZS off the top of my head but it'll have the battery with two wires going off of it, one will be grounded, one will go to the starter relay and on to the starter motor. If there's nothing else in that circuit (the main wires coming off the battery) then it's got to be an issue there - so check the connections on the battery and where the main wires go to, make sure the wires themselves aren't obviously cut/crushed, and then probably check your starter relay for serious corrosion (as that'll be basically cutting all the power to the bike if there's a dodgy connection)
