Consumer Description

MY 2005 FZ6 RAN FLAWLESSLY TILL 4000 MILE THEN THE IDLE WAS DROPPING TO 600-800 AND THEN WOULD JUST DIE. I WOULD TURN KEY OFF AND TURN KEY ON AGAIN AND RESTART AND IT WOULD RUN FINE. IT HAPPENS TWICE A WEEK. ONCE ON WET PAVEMENT IT WAS FEELING BOGGISH I PULLED CLUTCH TO SEE AND IT WAS 600-800 AND DIED. I LET OUT CLUTCH AND ALMOST LOST IT. I READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM AND SOME RUMOR IT TO THE TPS SENSOR. *JB
