| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1) at approximately 8000 miles on the odometer, my yamaha fz6 began exhibiting periodic stalling. when under normal power, the bike exhibited a moderate loss of power, with a complete engine stall once the clutch was disengaged (while stopping in traffic or parking). these symptoms increased in frequency until it was happening several times per day. 2) the consequences of the failure were generally minimal, with the exception of stalling in stop-and-go traffic. on more than one occasion, the stalling prevented me from moving when traffic ahead of me began moving, placing me in a vulnerable position until the ignition was cycled and the bike started again. simply pressing the start button would not successfully restart the bike. 3) the problem was corrected by the dealer replacing the throttle position sensor (tps). i had read several reports of other fz6 owners correcting the problem by replacing the tps, and had a tps fault code logged in the computer. the dealer had not heard of any issue from yamaha at that point, and attempted to clean and reseat the connections to the tps first. the problem persisted until replacement of the tps. the old part is not available. |
