Let's start the 2018 riding season with a spark!
Bike = 2011 Yamaha FZ8
Don't ask. Just not paying attention.... I connected the battery backward and blew the 50A main fuse. All other fuses are intact, so I'm guessing the main fuse did its job. Bought a new fuse to try again. Problem:
- kill switch in off position
- insert key
- turn to ON
- I hear a constantly electrical, relay type click-click-click noise coming from around front of bike/top of engine. Dash on, and guage sweeps
- switch kill-switch to ON, and now get fuel pump noise, and louder constant click from around area of relays by the battery
- if I try to start, it feels like a dead battery.. very laboured, tries to turn over and doesn't work... will get nothing from pressing the start button after 2-3 attemps.
I've tried 2 other batteries from other friend's bikes. All do the same thing. After having my batter on the Tender Junior I measure 12.5V across terminals. Do you think by some odd chance the battery is still toast?
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]What are symptoms of a fried starter relay? Would a friend starter relay cause the ticking noise even with kill-switch off, and not pressing start button?
[/FONT]Maybe a fried fuel pump relay?
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I did have my ECU sent off to be flashed. Lord I hope I didn't fry the ECU. I doubt it, and I doubt the flash (done by reputable shop) was done incorrectly such that the bike won't start..
Lookin' for help. TY.[/FONT]
