If the battery drains out on the Yamaha FZS FI, you won't be able to start the bike using the electric starter. However, there are a couple of alternative methods you can try:
Kick Start: The Yamaha FZS FI is equipped with a kick starter as a backup option. To use this method, follow these steps:
- Ensure the bike is in neutral and the ignition is turned on.
- Place your foot on the kick starter lever, usually located on the right side of the bike.
- Push down forcefully on the lever with a smooth motion. Repeat the process until the engine starts.
Push Start (Bump Start): This method requires some assistance from a friend or a downhill slope. Here's how you can do it:
- Ensure the ignition is turned on and the bike is in second gear.
- Ask your friend to push the bike or use a downhill slope to gain momentum.
- Once the bike is moving at a decent speed (around 5-10 mph), release the clutch lever while simultaneously applying throttle. This action should engage the engine and start the bike.
- Be careful when attempting a push start and ensure the environment is safe.
Remember that these alternative methods should be used only when necessary and as temporary solutions. It is essential to address the underlying issue of the drained battery and recharge or replace it as soon as possible.
