I WAS IN MOTION ON MY 2005 YAMAHA YZF-R6 AND HEARD RATTLING SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE. WHEN I REMOVED THE FRONT SPROCKET COVER THE NUT WAS BARELY HOLDING ON TO THE THREADS.

WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE (2005 YAMAHA R6) THE IDLE WOULD OFTEN GO SO LOW AND STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME ON LOCAL STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL TRAFFIC JAMS AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE READ ALOT OF ONLINE BLOGS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE WERE ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME SAY IT IS A FAULTY TPS. *TR

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 YAMAHA YZFR6. WHILE RIDING THE BIKE THE COOLING FAN STAYS ON AND IT DRAINS THE BATTERY. THE COOLING FAN IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO COME ON AT CERTAIN TIMES TO COOL THE BIKE, BUT THE CONSUMERS STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. THE BIKE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. *NM
