It's about 18yrs since I owned one, but I'd guess that it'd be below the seat. Failing that, behind a side panel or under the tank. All very easy to remove and take off. Where are you? Paul

Sniff, How do you know the battery is flat - does the starter solenoid click/do the instrument panel lights come on etc? If 2nd gear no good for starting, try 3rd (!) - as long as she'll turn the wheel (i.e. so long as it doesn't lock up when trying to bump start) then she should force the engine to turn over... Did you check the fuses etc? Do you have a multimeter? What voltage are you getting across the battery? Any other problems before this happened? How long was the bike 'ok' for before this etc - is there any other information/possible cause/anything that has been changed lately etc - is there actually fuel in the tank?! On reserve, carbs have fuel, engine has spark etc? Get back with more info please? Paul

Try bump starting the machine in 2nd gear, should work and get her running (as long as kill switch etc in run position and getting fuel etc). When she's running, put a multimeter across the terminals of the battery, should be 13.8V or higher with the engine running - this would confirm the alternator is running correctly. Check the connections (especially the earths) to confirm all is as it should be with the wiring. If you can't get her bump started, check the fuses etc - a bike in decent condition should bump start fairly easily. Get back if it is still a problem. Paul

Carb Icing? Not sure if the FZS600 is affected by it - get some silkolene pro from Halfords, bang some in your fuel tank and see if that improves it. Also allow the bike to warm up properly before riding off. Paul (Swindon)

Hi, Does anyone have a wiring diagram for an '03 reg DT50 (UK)? Or an older model, an not convinced that there'll be a massive difference. Thanks, Paul

Darren, Did you get the information that you needed? If not, let me know. Paul
