What owners report
Hello, i ride this Yamaha FZ-6 motorcycle and I experience poor idling and engine stalls during riding, and last time this nearly led to accident, because the motorcycle slowed down in front of an overpassing automobile. I have bought this bike imported from USA. I am situated in Bulgaria, Europe. I saw there is a recall action about faulty TPS sensor. Kindly requesting any help for replacing this sensor by recall action. Thank you in advance for your kind support.

ENGINE OIL PAN CRACKED AFTER TORQUING DRAIN PLUG TO MANUFACTURERS SPEC. HAVE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME OCCURRENCE. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER AND YAMAHA AMERICA. BOTH DECLINED KNOWLEDGE OF DEFECT. YAMAHA AMERICA WAS QUITE SHORT, DID NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY DETAILS OF THE FAILURE, JUST STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS, ANY DEFECTS WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
MY 2005 FZ6 RAN FLAWLESSLY TILL 4000 MILE THEN THE IDLE WAS DROPPING TO 600-800 AND THEN WOULD JUST DIE. I WOULD TURN KEY OFF AND TURN KEY ON AGAIN AND RESTART AND IT WOULD RUN FINE. IT HAPPENS TWICE A WEEK. ONCE ON WET PAVEMENT IT WAS FEELING BOGGISH I PULLED CLUTCH TO SEE AND IT WAS 600-800 AND DIED. I LET OUT CLUTCH AND ALMOST LOST IT. I READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AND SOME RUMOR IT TO THE TPS SENSOR. *JB
MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN IDLING POORLY AND STALLING WHEN COMING OFF INTERSTATE RIDING. GAS MILEAGE HAS ALSO BEEN DROPPING. ONLY RECENTLY, MOTORCYCLE STALLED IN CENTER LANE OF HIGHWAY AT TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT NIGHT, WOULD NOT RESTART. RECEIVED FAULT CODE 15 CORRESPONDING TO THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. REPLACED PART. LEARNED OF SEVERAL OTHER 2005 FZ6'S WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM. *NM
I WAS RIDING HOME ON MY 2005 YAMAHA FZ6 MOTORCYCLE, WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN IDLING VERY ROUGH. I HAD TO ROLL ON THE THROTTLE TO KEEP THE ENGINE FROM STALLING. THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER I PULLED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS. THEN I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, AND TURNED IT BACK ON, AND THE ENGINE STARTED AS IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON IS MERELY A BAND AID FOR THIS ISSUE, AND NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION.
