kealii_87fz600

well I stumped myself today. the battery was just dead one. even though I trickle charged it it just wont hold a charge in general. bike wouldn't even turnover.

alright. will do in the morning my batt is on the charger so I can start the bike up tommorow

now im still new to this on my year bike where is the charging system located? (alternator, stator, generator) located or does my motorcycle even have one?

how do I know if my reg. rec. unit went out though?

hi everyone! was wondering if anyone can help me here with my 1987 Yamaha fz600. I was riding a few days ago and my bike started to backfire and then started to loss speed and I tried downshifting to see if it would do anything but I just kept losing speed then the bike shut off. before that I had shut my bike off once and it started right up then I did it again after riding for 20 miles and shut it off again the tried to start it and it wouldn't start. battery died and had to jumpstart it. I started to ride it back home and that's when it started to backfire and loss power and had shut off. I towed the bike home to the battery out and acid levels where low. I had my gas tank off but hooked up my jump starter cables to the all the cables that where connected to my battery to see if the bike would attempt to start and it did but didn't start up all the way since no gas was going into carburetor. seems to me like the motor isn't seized up but it just started to backfire and lose power. any ideas or help?
