My friend recently purchased a low mileage (<2000) fz6r and had me drive it home for him. It ran fine all the way home with multiple stops. While trying to move the bike he lost his footing and the bike fell over and he was unable to get it up for quite a while, now when we try and start the bike the display powers off and only turns back on after letting go of the ignition switch. I swapped batteries and starter solenoids with him from my running fz6r and nothing changed. After a few hours of trouble shooting I wacked the starter motor with a pole and it turned over once then quit on us so we think it's either a bad starter motor or a seized engine at this point but I want another opinion before we decide what to do. Any help would be appreciated and sorry for the long post!
