89 FZR600-01 YZF600 swapped into and wont start

Post by ripcityyzfzr »

viewed the site many times just never joined. now i have and hope i can get some help and get the project moving in the right direction, ON THE ROAD!!.
The bike to be is a swap victim 1989 FZR600 that (i was told) ran at one time after the 2001 YZF600 swap. it was sold to friend, "went through and checked out" and gave up on. it was then passed it on to me for a second chance at life before getting parted out and scrapping the whole thing.
It all looks fine and dandy but now wont even turn over and does the fuel tach jump and oil light. i heard from previous owner that it was blowing the ignition relays and did run at one time. im open to questions and ideas or a to-do check list to help anyones come up with ideas to get it to fire.i can get pics of what ever as well. i just cant stand watching it sit around and do nothing with its life- hopelessness :notworthy: :duh: bonkonhead :swear Noob

Sounds like you need to go through the wiring harness completely. The wiki has a lot of great articles you might want to check out.

This would help if it would even engage the starter. Oil and fuel light turn on and its doing the tach jump upon key turn
