| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1) 2005 yamaha yzf r1. normal everyday riding for 10,000 miles. after work i warmed up my motorcycle to 170 deg f. 2) when i slowed down the rpm's dropped under 1,000 and the motorcycle stalls/dies. it died 3 more times before i could get to a place to pull over. after i pulled over i got off my motorcycle and then let it idle. the idle was low but did not die. i then ride more and it happened 1 more time. i had to rev the engine to keep it from dying. i stopped and let the bike sit for over 1 hour. after i started it back up everything was running perfect again. i rode ~80 miles home with no problems. the next morning i started the motorcycle and let it warm up to 170 deg f again. i took off and when i was slowing down the bike jerked my forward and died. the bike almost fell over. it continued to do then when i test rode it around the block. i then parked it and drove my car to work. i began doing research on the internet and found that other riders also had my problem. after i got home i test rode my bike and everything is working fine. i also rode to work today with out any problems. this is common with a problem that i read about the 2004 yzf r1 also. it looks like the most common fix was replacing the upper and lower tps sensor. i called my dealer and he told me it was my throttle body not in sync. also from what i read was a missed diagnosed problem from yamaha. 3) i am going to my dealer tomorrow to fix the "throttle body sync issue" please refer to this website and the roughly 100 other riders with the 2004/2005 model yamaha r1 http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=98831&perpage=20&pagenumber=1. *jb |
