Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2004 yamaha fz-6 and i believe the throttle position sensor is bad. the bike stalls and runs very erratically at low rpms. i had to pull to the side of the road and turn the kill switch and key off to reset the system and then it started again. if this were to happen in a high traffic area the bike could stall and cause an accident. i have done nothing to repair this problem yet, i am waiting to see if there is a recall on this part. i know that this is a very common problem with this model motorcycle. *nm
