Hoping to get some help with a strange problem.
I just picked up a 04 zx6r with 9k miles on it. Recently put in a new battery, changed oil, spark plugs, recharged the K&N air filter, and put the recommended amount of sea foam in some new gas(cause the bike was sitting for months with the original owner). Prior to this the bike ran really rough but no warning lights. When changing the plugs I found that a few of the wires going to the coils were chewed through(I live on Maui, lots of rodents) and some were half eaten through. I cut out any bad wires and replaced with new wires. Now when setting the key to on position it sounds like the noise the bike usually makes (fuel pump I believe) has gotten longer by a couple seconds. The bike fires right up and sounds healthier than before, but the oil pressure light is on and so is the FI light until the bike warms up and I lightly twist the throttle. The lights wont return until the next time I go to start it. Idles better, sounds better, rides fine. I have searched through a lot of threads but never found one that deals with this exact problem. Any help would be appreciated! :hail:
