Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here... I just got my FZ6 TODAY (Blue '07, 0 miles), *and in accordance with the way my life works* I dropped it while cornering in my apartment complex. This is my second bike after a Ninja 250 (which I've had for about 6-7 months now, and I'm quite comfortable on). I couldn't have been doing more than 10 mph, but with the ...

EDIT - just read the part about the clicking. I'd check the battery connections, hook it up to a tender, or try push starting it....if none of that works then you'll have to dig deaper (or bring it back!) I was originally thinking........... Lean Angle Sensor ? - automatically kills the engine if the bike is tipped over. You can check for the code in diagnostic mode (...

.3 miles? IT sounds like the dealership didnt even take the bike for a test ride after assembling it for you. I'm not much on Fuel INjected bikes, but a nonstarting dropped carburated bike would probably point to flooded carbs which would be cleared out after opening the throttle full on (while off) and playing with the starter for a few minutes.

Yeah, I'm going to start again with looking there (though I looked and didn't see anything obvious) I'll bust out the multimeter and see where I'm at with voltage... I was out there for a good hour earlier ...

well, congratulations on the new bike , shyt happens , once you start riding and enjoying it,you'll forget about this little accident.... although i dont know where it is or how to reset it but lean sensor could be the cause,,,also you should check the battery connections,,even if it is just a little bit loose it might do that clicking sound instead of starting it...good luck and let us ...

.3 miles? Sorry i missed that part. Here is how mine was delivered, and I talked to the guy that test rode it. They must have a way to reset the the odometer.

Nah, the camera died peacefully in it's sleep of old age... time for a new one. So I just went outside to look about roughing up my tires a bit (I think I'm going to use a light-duty wire brush) only to notice some sort of oily residue toward the edges of the rear tire!! Aghhh!...

Either way, you need ot be holding it above 2200 or just riding it and keeping it above 2200, right? One other question, is there anything you don't know? I'm just going to...

Actually Aussie, you may be onto something. It also could be that the battery connectors are a bit loose. Once my bike would not start, I checked the battery leads and saw that the connectors were screwed on. But after closer examination it turned out that one side was 1 turn away from being tight. THis caused a poor connection, after tightening the connection my bike fired right up.

That doesn't seem normal to me somehow. I hooked it up to my car battery and it started right up with a touch of throttle. I then let it run for a good 15-20 min as I took my time putting everything back...
