Another 06 owner given a full refund in the UK

Since installing the PCIII it is MUCH improved. However, occasionally if I get in a hurry to "take-off" from a stop light and fail to get the rpm's up high enough it will still stall. Guess I'm going to have to "lower" the bike. Trying to "save her" while on tippy toes just doesn't work for me.

years ago we used to call that "lugging" the motor. all motors will stall given the same situation.

I think you are right in least in my stall anyway-I drive a manual diesel cummins pickup and am use to idling off from start I think that habit carrys over to bike and caused my near drop

In my case, I think it was a case of dropping the rpm's because I thought they were too high. I also finished releasing the clutch fully (letting the lever out). The combination of the two resulted and the dreaded "cough of death"--IE sudden stall.

I have/do occasionally "lug" the engine on some take=offs. The engine doesn't cough and die, but "rattles". Regardless, there are a number of associated problems (drive line lash in turns come to mind) that can be overcome with technique and/or "fixes". But, I still say there is a problem that exists on the GenII that didn't appear on the GenI from what I read.

I, come from a semi-truck big rig background and am used to starting in them "off idle". However I've owned numerous manual transmission autos and of course motorcycles and I don't think that really is my issue. I have learned to "over rev" the FJR to insure against the dreaded "cough of death". I now have 9000 miles on the bike and still have several farkles to install. When all is done this summer I will know if bike is "as should be". Love the bike too much to give up on her.

P.S. She's perfectly OK now, anyway. Just bound to get better with the Ergo2 grips and cruise control.

correct about the rattle I have heard that also on low rpm starts but its never died- in the stall resulting in the near drop the bike coughed first and then shut off like I turned off the key-guess I will ride some more and try to decide whats going on. I was turning and going up hill when it died sure came close to falling over

+1 Bounce.

I run the rpm up to @ 2K and control the low speed situations with the rear brake and clutch action. No control problems. Just my experience.

I practice the slow u's, circles and eights before and after most rides. I have 10k miles on my 06 and never had the issue being discussed here. Note, I did the barbarian mod and run idle at 1150 rpm.

Don't get me wrong,. i was actually incredibly impressed how well the fi worked as i lugged the engine down lower and lower until she finally stalled.

BTW,.. sorry for the highjack
