FZR AL Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Yesterday i wantead to try the electrics on my fz 600 to see if every thing was ok after a year of not running, i replaced both coils with new ones, new re/rec, ing switch , i used one of the jumper packs to put some current in and every thing looked ok,i put a new battery on it today and have nothing working, checked earths, put old ing switch back on checked fuses and checked amps on new battery,what should i check now. solonoid if so how do you check them,what elese can i check, any help would be welomed. double check your earths again,if you have a new battery and you have checked the amps and all is ok , its got to be and earth or a fuse , one question though why did you change coils ,reg/rec, ign switch, if was running the previous year , i would have just stuck a new battery first? double check the ign switch you may have pulled a wire , use your multi meter and check you have current running to all what you have replaced does anything light up at all lights indicators idiot lights,etc cheers Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbo Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Al, changed coils because i had a low reading on resistence,and the engine had been replaced the bike was very difficult to start and did not run to good,the reg/rec was changed because the battery was not charging but had a good current from genarator, the ignition switch was changed because a lead had pulled out at moment no lights on any of the equpment im going to check side stand and cluch switch, no gear lever on a moment so could be a false neutral,any think else i can check with meters. thanks Dave.

hobbo Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 Ithink i found the problem, i had 10 min before i was going out yesterday an tried a new volt meter across fuses,as i pushed the probes into the fuses i could hear a crackling sound on the connections,the fuse carrier has been replaced at some time and replaced with mini spade conector fuses , replaced all fuses cleaned up fuse holder with wd40, i now all lights working power to coils, reg/rec is getting warm ,power to side stand,i just got to get neutral light to come on as there is no power going to switch i think its not in neutral as i have no chain or gear lever on it at moment,learned to take time when checking electrics.
