Consumer Description

I WAS RIDING HOME ON MY 2005 YAMAHA FZ6 MOTORCYCLE, WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN IDLING VERY ROUGH. I HAD TO ROLL ON THE THROTTLE TO KEEP THE ENGINE FROM STALLING. THEN A FEW SECONDS LATER I PULLED IN THE CLUTCH AND THE ENGINE STALLED COMPLETELY. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER 4 ATTEMPTS. THEN I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, AND TURNED IT BACK ON, AND THE ENGINE STARTED AS IF THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON IS MERELY A BAND AID FOR THIS ISSUE, AND NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION.
