Need help bike wont start.....

Post by fzrnoob187 »

Hey guys got a 92 fzr 600r and i cant get it to start now it makes a rapid clicking noise not from the solenoid i bridged it already to see if that was why it didnt want to start and still no starting i should mention too that unfortunately i dropped the bike when i was pushing it down my alley because theyre building a new house on my street and the asshole construction guys have the alley full of rocks and i stepped on one when i was pushin the bike and lost my footing and grip on the bike and the reason i was pushing it is because i think the charging system needs to be replaced as well because the bike did not want to start after i turned it off right before i dropped it in the alley. i was able to push start it the next day but died out again only a few blocks away. so basically im thinking it is not starting because the spark plugs got fouled out from me dropping it i think that can happen when u drop it if im not mistaken and also the charging system not working is not helping things any so i was just wondering if you guys had any advice or could think of whats keeping it from starting because i would like to get back out and riding summer is almost over. If any of you guys can call me that would be much appreciated thanks guys and be safe out there 13128010880 Matt

Is that roughly correct? I tried not to change much besides punctuation.

I should mention too that unfortunately I dropped the bike when I was pushing it down my alley. They're building a new house on my street and the ******* construction guys have the alley full of rocks and I stepped on one when I was pushing the bike and lost my footing and grip on the bike.

The reason I was pushing it is because I think the charging system needs to be replaced as well, because the bike did not want to start after I turned it off right before I dropped it in the alley. I was able to push start it the next day, but died out again only a few blocks away. So basically I'm thinking it is not starting because the spark plugs got fouled out from me dropping it. I think that can happen when you drop it, if I'm not mistaken. And also the charging system not working is not helping things any.

So I was just wondering if you guys had any advice or could think of what's keeping it from starting, because i would like to get back out and riding, Summer is almost over. If any of you guys can call me that would be much appreciated. Thanks guys and be safe out there. 13128010880 Matt
Is that
  • Makes a rapid clicking noise when starting, doesn't start?
  • You dropped the bike and think that fouled the plugs?
  • Charging system is not working?
Rapid clicking noise sounds like low battery - the starter solenoid is clicking, but the battery can't supply enough power to keep it engaged. That also plays with the idea of a non-working charging system.

1. Measure your battery voltage.
2. Measure battery voltage when starting the bike.
3. Charge your battery fully (buy a battery charger if necessary), try again.
4. If it starts after charging the battery, measure the battery voltage when it's running.
5. Report the voltages.

Try jumping the bike with a car battery - if this battery is IN a car, make sure the car is OFF!

If you can get it running that way, see if you can push-start the bike.

I also discovered, that rapid clicking can be caused by a bad battery connection, so you may want to check that as well. Although so much time has passed that you probably have it running already.
