I have put the bike back together after putting the zx10 shock back on and when I turn the ignition on the buzzing sound stops short and then the oil light starts to flash and I get FI flashing on the dash. The battery seems fine and the engine turns over it just won't start.
I have tried looking the the manuals on this site (as I can't find my owners manual :x ) But I can't find out what it means and I can't figure out what to do.
Please Help!
Cheers
Means 'fuel injection'. Take it to a garage because you won't be able to fix it yourself in all likelyhood.
Could be that you've just pinched a wire when you put everything back together, or a connectors come loose.
Thought you'd checked all the wires. But if it is an electrical problem, there's no much you can do if you're not some kind of electronics God. Or own a garge. :p

mine does it quite alot too. sorting it is just a case of arming the alarm, disarming it again then it seems to be okay
If you had the tip over sensor removed when you where fitting the shock it is possible that it has been installed the wrong way round.
The sensor sits on the part of the battery box you have to cut to get the shock to fit.
Check that it is sitting in the correct position.

Yes!!! That helped a lot!
I could kiss you......if you weren't so far away.....but I could get a plane over there.....don't worry I won't :lol: :lol:
I didn't know what it was and it was sitting on the shock slightly so I flipped it over... :oops: I looked through the manuals and couldn't find out what it was. You saved my AR :) :) :D .

Well apparently not, the experience of the members of this forum counts for a lot - in time you will come to trust it. :wink:

Damn straight. It's the reason I found this place to begin with. :thumbsup: It's helped me get back on the road a couple of times.

Indeed!
You don't have to be an electronics god.
Just by using a short length of wire you can put the pointy SV into service mode, which will display error codes on the clocks. You can look these up in the manuals on this site, and it'll diagnose a whole host of faults. This includes the tip over sensor being in the wrong place.
