Consumer Description

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
