Hi guys, need some advice

 

My Gen 1 FZS1000 got some problem with the meter.

I noticed some time last week and today that the meter reset itself. Both times, bike is running standstill at the traffic lights.

I checked the wiring, seems ok.

 

My voltmeter reading was all the while 12.6 at maximum when the bike is running, but I noticed the reading dropped to 12.2 when running these few days.

Rectifier was changed 1 year ago, the battery maybe unchanged for 2 years6 liao.

 

Starting the bike is no problem btw. I remmeber a backfire some days ago, wonder is it is related.

 

Is the battery a goner? Or there are some other evils? :\

Please advise, thanks.

Hi All

Any feedback on this 2 alarm? Steel mate and Spy?

I thinking of changing my current steelmate alarm, can't decide whether sld i change back to the same model or change to SPY alarm.

 

i am currently using the Spy 2 alarm,the arming range is a plus point,becos there's a additional anthena attached,senstivity wise,i have not turn to the max on the main unit and it's like i must really hit it quite "hard" on the seats or other parts of the bike,then the alarm will go off...overall my rating 7/10

bro, whhere did you tap the voltage reading from?

 

Anyway sounds like its time to replace your battery...

 

There is no need to replace the rectifier unless your bike is overcharging... its a fazer, not super 4 hor...

one way of checking if the rectifier is working is it should be warm to the touch when the bike is running. if that is the case, then your battery may be a goner, see if the walls of the battery has started to balloon. That is another tell-tale sign. Else if the rectifier is cold, then rectifier is the cause of your battery not charging.

Thanks for the advice.

Later go and check again.

 

The readings are taken from my bike's fixed-on voltmeter, but later I will try against another handheld set.

 

Typically, how long does a battery last? My daily mileage is rather high at 60km+, so by right the battery should be fully charged by the end of each day.

I heard the fazer battery is not cheap though.

 

Also, how long does your chain last?

Just changed mine 2 weeks ago, fantastic feel. Usually I juz whack the chain lube over the rollers. Supposed to be over the pins and covers right... :\

my battery lasted me almost 4 years..

chain...mine yet to change since new, going 60K now and it is still good..

 

it goes down to how you maintain your bike and how often you ride. Mine is almost always covered and not moved, mileage is mostly from riding up north before the ST11 came around. That remind me, i better take it out for a ride today, been riding too much of the potato..
