Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 YAMAHA R1 THAT WOULD IDLE DOWN TO 500 RPM AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE BIKE WAS IN MOTION. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES UNTIL THE BIKE WOULD NOT RUN FOR A MILE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THE BIKE BACK ON WAS TO TURN THE KEY COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN TURN THE BIKE BACK ON. I TOOK THE BIKE TO HEYSER CYCLE IN LAUREL, MD. THEY REPLACED THE TPS SENSORS WITH NO RESOLVE. THEN FINALLY REPLACED THE ENTIRE SET OF THROTTLE BODIES WHICH SEEMED TO CURE THE PROBLEM.. THIS WAS REPLACED IN MARCH OF 2005. I HAD APPROX. 11,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE PROBLEM HAS RECENTLY COME BACK WITH APPROXIMATELY 22,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT IS BACK IN THE SHOP WAITING FOR ANOTHER SET OF THROTTLE BODIES UNDER WARRANTY. *NM
