Funny thing happened with my FZR600
« on: September 24, 2012, 03:57:51 PM »
I would hit the start button and all electrics died but no fuses blown, plus it's been running rich no matter what I did with the carbs.
Making a long story short one new terminal on my positive battery wire and remembering to install the new airfilter has made it into a new bike. Even riding it to the grocery store feels like I'm riding in the MotoGP. Fun Bike is back!!
Yes, I'm a dork, don't know how I forgot to install the new airfilter.

Do you mean you had an old dirty filter in it, or none at all?

Yep dirty battery post will do that, smoke and fizzle but no fuses blown, plus one on the airfilter, I'm always amazed that new owners don't as a hard and fast rule replace the air filter as you never know the true age (full of crap) of the one in the bike, had a CB650 and it wouldn't accelerate at all, changed air filter and it pulled wheelstands! ;D

I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!

It had the old dirty filter. The worst part is that I got a new filter but forgot to install it  :o
