ELECTRICAL ISSUE PLEASE HELP

Post by itzyaboybugz »

hi thanks for any help in advance, im new to bikes, and ive always wanted a fzr 600 since i was a kid. im so happy and proud to own one. its a 97 with 23k. anywho. i bought bike no issues, rode bike one day, came back, bike started, i sat on bike, backed it out n it cut off, wouldnt start back up, figured was battery so i charged battery, then same thing happened, was told to order 128.00 voltage regulator, two weeks later charge battery install new voltage regulator and i notice when i put key in two yellow lights on front of bike light up but no neutral light, so i gently shook bike from side to side n green neutral light lit up, i started bike, let idle, all is fine, then i sa on bike, slowly backed it up not hitting gas or breaks just or anything and bike cuts off and green neutral light isnt there etc.... im thinking theres a wire connection messed up somewhere, or blown fuse, or maybe old aftermarket alarm i dont know about, please help!! im taking course to get motorcycle license tommorow, i have inspection schedueled for monday, help

thank you

Check the big wire bundle that exits the frame near the front and heads off to gauges, ignition switch, and headlights.

There are a couple of junction blocks there that are corrosion prone, as well as a couple of chafe points in that harness. The handlebar switches are also corrosion prone.

I believe you have a broken wire, or are shorting to ground
