| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bike stalls when clutch is pulled in. rpm's drop to zero. was almost run over by traffic behind me when engine stalls. injured myself (foot/ankle) when trying to push the bike off the road (so i wouldn't be run over). i've been told by many fz6 riders that many of the fz6 bikes have defective throttle positioning sensors (tps) and that yamaha has not recognized the problem. i believe it to be a very serious safety issue. sooner or later, someone is going to get run over because of this defective sensor. *nm |
