ok i'll check it, but when i jumped the connection from the headlights to battery, i played with the high low switch and it worked

as in the high/lowbeam switch? there is a series of wires running from the headlight that have a blue connector piece... i took that apart and cleaned the little bit of corrosion that was on there but nothing came of it

i jumped the wire from the battery right to the headlight and the speedometer lit up, as well as the bulb.. could the problem be anywhere or should it be in my starter switch?

thanks, the problem actually was the voltage regulator

ok so the bike was working fine... i washed it and the headlights won't turn on and neither will the lights on the speedometer... any idea? the 20a fuse that says head is fine

Ya the bike is in west windsor nj, right next to princeton but i'm going to be around until the weekend after the one coming up.

well the bike has been sitting for 2 years and according to the flow chart, thats my problem... i start the bike and the battery drops to 11 volts, rather then being around 14.. plus the ohm reading is too high

alright i moved the ground the the engine from the aluminum plate that the vr rested on and it ran a lot steadier and more responsive. i trickle charged it all night and the battery held and i worked on the flow chart. i'm not sure if my amp meter broke, but after i moved the the ground the amps rea...

ok so i moved the ground to the engine itself and now i'm having a bit of an issue. after moving the ground i got the amps to read less then .1 ... now i'm on the step after that where you check the white wires and one of the wires looks like there was an electrical problem and the plastic shell is ...

the ticking only happens when the battery is drained, i charged it again and it was running fine without the charger. then for an instant the lights got a light brighter, then went normal. that happened twice then it almost died, idled fine, then died. sounds like the VR needs to be replaced right? ...

oh and there is a shorted wire that connects to the frame from the VR, like the bolt taht holds on the VR has a ground on it

on a low battery, the middle black box next to a 20 amp fuse, and another black box that controls the blinkers i think (all within the same line as the VR), makes a ticking sound, but when the battery is full there is no sound. the wires are still taped and i see none touching the frame, how do u ch...

so i spent some time on this forum reading threads before i bought my 1996 fzr. the guy i bought it from was the second owner, and huge. the title says he put on 1k miles the bike sat for 2 years, so he decided to sell it because of his back problems. He got a new battery for the bike and it cranked...
