After doing a bunch of work on my FZ6, yesterday I took it for a ride around the block and everything was working.
I got home, picked up some stuff, tried to start it and... nothing
I switch on the ignition, press the starter and I can hear the relay click, but it won't turn over. I have had this problem before and usually if I put the side stand down and flick it back up so it gives the bike a jolt, that sorts it out (or, switching it off and switching it back on again...!)
But none of these are working now, however if I bump start it, it runs fine.
The side stand switch and clutch switch seem fine and the neutral light on the instruments comes on.
I wanted to check the neutral switch as well, but I can't actually find it! The Haynes manual says it's "on the back of the engine", but the accompanying picture is useless and I can't identify any of the components in it to figure out where the switch is supposed to be
Can anyone suggest a solution or, at least, tell me where the neutral switch actually is (preferably with a useful picture!) so I can eliminate that? If the problem is none of the above, I may have to try removing the starter motor and checking that out...
