Instrument cluster problem

Have stored the fz6r about 3 months ago and decided to make a mid winter pit stop with her only to find I have power to the instrument cluster but tach unoperational and no digital display
Has anyone incountered this before?

 

[Invader Jim]

Did it have enough power to start?

 

[Scott_Thomas]

Was thinking the same thing. Did you have it on a tender and would it actually start? Could be your batteries last breathe.

its clearly very mad at you because you left it alone for so long without any loving attention. now it's playing hard get, like most do, demanding that you buy it a fresh battery to make it feel wanted again in order to resume a healthy playful relationship. pay up

Jens bike did the same thing, it had been sitting since before Sandy came thru here, all i did was plug in the trickle charger, and it was fine!
Charge the battery!

 

[dart1963]

yep, charge it...

if not, look to see no mice/rats/squirrels made a mess of the wiring

 

[Blue-Sun]

The battery may or may not take a charge. Just wanted to give you a heads up that you may have to replace the battery if it won't take a charge.

I commute every day to work on my bike and just replaced my battery last week. I have a 2009 model, so mine is a year older, but I noticed a slow decline in the speed at which the starter was churning. The dealership had a OEM replacement battery for $80, so it wasn't a big deal to change it out.

any updates?

Sorry
No updates as of yet it is always a long winter here on the east coast of Canada so have lotsa time to iron out but presently trickling the batt.
Thanks for the advice and help will advise in April Or Maywhen winter starts to take a back seat to spring

Yup, if there's another one I didn't find it.

 

[Insure Gal]

Man I am disgusted now
Can't find why still I have only the orange background without any digital display like speedo ,fuel,level, nothing and tach not working
All I figure is to replace whole cluster or advise please?
1 is there a way to reset?
2 if it is through battery disconnect how long should I disconnect and wait
3 is there a separate ground wire somewhere besides the plug in the rear of cluster?
4 should I just go and disconnect entire cluster and bring to dealer
5 if I should have to replace cluster is there a memory chip to be removed and placed in the new one for mileage ?

Just check your fuses, then the quick connectors in the wiring harness.If it doesn't solve it then take it to your dealership...

These things happen, don't stress over it.A mouse could have nibbled on something for all you know.

 

[Insure Gal]

It looks like the cluster is caput will get it off the bike and tested soon
This is goin to be expensive I bet just imagine only 6700 Kim's or about 3500 miles ,should not have happened , and as of late I have heard of so many different yamaha a around here with electrical problems

Instrument cluster problem

Changed heading in order to get some more attention
Am still really puzzled by this
Just wondering if Martha is still around maybe he could shed more light

 

[Bert-Aus]

Sorry if this is a dumb question,
...but have you taken to a Yamaha dealer as yet?

Even if they just have a look, they may know straight away or have some indication as to why?
-if they are reputable they will atleast give you free advice or clues as to the possibilities

Otherwise try an Auto-electrician if you have one near you who has some experience with bikes.

Another thing to check is if there is any corrosion within plugs -as in the contact patches may have that greeny copper tinge to them somewhere?
If you find any of this get a wire tooth brush or steel wool and clean the contact patches up ?? -have done this before on cars and old bikes electricals with shoddy connections ...worth a shot
