88 fz600 HYas spark but then loses spark
me thinks 2 wheels is right loose conection or iggy box is goosed , check you readings with a multi meter , could be a bad earth dont forget to waggle your wires while your taking the readings and see if the readings drop , has your loom been chopped near the iggy box any dodgy fusty connectors pull them out and give them a clean then a quick spray of wd40 Oh and wheres your location someone might just be down the road from you and can help cheers Al

XS400 idle problems
seems strange that the first time you started it it was fine it could be your throttle cable not been routed properly, if it is staying at 3k revs, but if it was mine i would do a carb strip down , has you seem to have more than one problem there,is it stock ? check your mains and pilots for correct size? carbs could be sucking crap through from the tank?, float heights set wrongly so not enough fuel getting through when you rev it, it will be trial and error

Winterisation
There is a good article on fuel in the classic motorcycle mechanics on fuel drewps from some of the big oil companies but they have conflicting reports on wether to drain the fuel or not some say drain the carbs ,but leave fuel in the lines ,as it stops shrinkage in the lines as there is corrosion inhibitors and elastomisers in the petrol, and say if you leave fuel in the tank it not air in the space above its vapour so it wont go off, its air that makes fuel go off then there others who say drain everything due to all fuel containing 5% bi ethanol , but then you have the issue of tank corrosion unless you spray with oil and silca bags on fishing line so to draw moisture. cant be arsed! the darker the petrol the weaker the petrol myself i spray it with ACF 50 cover it loosley, but make sure you have air flow, no air flow creates condensation which creates rust .I leave what i have left in the tank when i park them up , then in the spring just top up with some fresh fuel and bingo off you go the only issue i have is the bi ethanol eating my petseal tank liner on my KH400 ,which appears to be a major worry for most people its seems well thats my thoughts

oil light
Hi Zubes I had the same issue with my FZR600, wrong grade of oil what oil you using ? is it the correct grade , I would change the oil and filter,and fill to the correct level then you know you are ok , then keep an eye on it ,could be just the oil sensor, if its starts again and the sensors fine , more likely to be the pump failing , if it is failing the light will stay on longer and longer. could be a blip in the ECU , take the battery off for ten minutes ,reconnect then go for a ride do the oil change first and see how you get on cheers Al
