good morning.. i have a 1998 fzs600 i have owned it since september last year.. no issues untill a few weeks ago when the speedo just randomly died (had wheel off no issues with "ears" )... so will fix that buy purchasing a new speedo unit.
secondly and this is the thing that is bugging the crap outta me is that my engine will cut out without warning at random intervals i could be a mile from the house or i could be 20 miles from the house...i coast to side of the road try to start it and nothing.. It will crank but wont start (no spark) as i tested all HT leads with a working plug against engine casing and nothing...
I have to wait up to an hour before i can start it again and even then its the same problem i have no idea how far i am going to get before it happens again... last week for example it took me almost 3 hours to do a 15 min journey.
there is no warning that it will cut out it just does it...
was thinking fuel problem at first before i tested the spark issue.. changed filter checked hoses and cleaned carbs.
So i am led to a electrical issue and i am no good with electrics don't even own a multimeter.
Bike was serviced after these issues started as i was hoping that it would solve the problem plugs were changed aswell then...
sidestand switch and kill switch all seem to be in fine condition..
any advice would be very helpfull as i am baffled by the problem as i have never had it on any of my other bikes and i dont want to pay a garage £££'s to sort it just yet when i might be able get to the problem myself.. with some help off you lovely people of course..
cheers in advance
Dave
