Consumer Description

I HAD MY 2004 YAMAHA R1 REPEATEDLY LOSE POWER WHILE OPERATING IN THE SUB-7000 RPM RANGE. THE MOTORCYCLE WOULD BACKFIRE, SPUTTER, AND THEN LOSE POWER. THE FAILURE FIRST APPEARED WITH APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE FAILURE WAS CORRECTED BY REMOVING THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS AND CLEANING THEM WITH CONTACT CLEANER. THE CLEANING WAS DONE APPROXIMATELY 2500 MILES AGO AND THE FAILURE HAS NOT REAPPEARED. *JB
