| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1-average usage, 2-motorcycles would stall sporadically, rpms would vary considerably, a lot of hesitation, variable idling, bad gas consumption. a failure of the motorcycle to cease throttle operations through mid-corner during a turn would inevitably cause the motorcycle and its rider to lose traction at the rear wheels. further consequences would be death to the rider in extreme, but highly likely circumstances. 3-there was a defective throttle positioning sensor with the 2004-2005 yamaha fz6 motorcycles. yamaha has so far failed to announce a recall of this defective equipment which can be very dangerous. quite a few fz6 owners have noticed this failure so it obviously is not a 'one in a million' condition. please help the fz6 community out by alleviating this worry. thank you for your time.*ak |
