Bike doesn't turn on / no lights

You were unfortunate and yet fortunate at the same time. Glad it all worked out. But not quite sure why you are replacing the ignition, fuel tank and seat locks, if it was just water getting into the box (plus I would guess a loose connection on the joint) causing it to ark and spark, just make a repair to that section of wiring useing a largish chocolate block connector or maybe two if you are going to replace a short length of the burnt part of cable, keeping the chocolate block connectors within the confines of the black box, give the whole of the inside of the box a goood blast of WD 40 and you should be good. Replacing all those switches will be very expensive and time consuming.
The FZS 600 is a wonderful machine, very reliable, goes very well (quick) an is eager to please most Fazer owners whether the 600 or the Mighty Thou have a permanent grin when riding.
Great choice of bike.
