Consumer Description

THIS COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO THE 2004 YAMAHA FZ6 THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. AFTER THE MOTORCYCLE WARMS UP (APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES OF RIDING), IT WILL STALL OUT AND/OR SPUTTER WHEN THE CLUTCH IS ENGAGED AND/OR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. LAST JULY IT STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIGHT HAND TURN AROUND A RED LIGHT, RESULTING IN THE BACK TIRE LOOSING TRACTION AND CAUSING A CRASH. I WAS MINIMALLY INJURED, BUT THE BIKE SUFFERED SOME EXTERIOR DAMAGE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THIS PART WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MOST OWNERS OF THE 2004-05 FZ6.*JB
