FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

So heres the whole story with every detail i can muster.. The battery was dead on my FZR and my tender was MIA so i decided to play Macgyver and went online looking for a way to make a home made tender (see where this is going?) So long story short tripped the house breakers and blew the headlights on my bike. Now she wont start ive been working on her for a few days now, opened the CDI and found a burned up resistor and replaced it. I also opened the main relay it smelled like it was burned but all the resistors were fine, and i opened the black box thing (next to main relay ) but it has a thick coating of rubber on it an impossible to access. I have not replaced the headlights yet (fear of blowing them again) maybe the headlights are vital to the engine sparking but i doubt it? I have tried to fire up the bike with the kick stand up an clutch pulled in and yes it is in neutral. All fuzes that i can find are fine haven't found a blow one yet. Noting i try seems to be working so Please Help before my pride and joy becomes a habitat for the fishes. Ive always been generally mechanically inclined (even tho im rater young) and i catch on quick so if you have any ideas don't be afraid to toss them out i would appreciate it.

hi,
The WIKI has a electrical trouble shooting guide follow that and you will be home free.
That black box with the rubber in it is the VR in most likelyhood the one that goes wrong is oblong and made of tin filled with rubber, the good type are cast boxes with fins and is also filled with black rubber.
just my 2p

Thanks for the Wiki lead but im not talking about the VR i know what that looks like i think its the headlight relay or something it had a plastic outer casing. Next to the relay.

Yeah i ment the turn signal relay.
