Hi all, I have the exact issue
clicky. Bike has 60 miles on it. 25 from and to the dealer.
If you know already go a paragraph down. I was turning right onto a busy street from a stop. Hit the gas let out the clutch and 600 lbs of bike lands on me. 5 days old.
Like you I also had stalls going home, thinking it was my error (after 21 years and 10 bikes I would think I know the way to take off) anyway. I troubleshot on here, asked for help with the intermittent die and was pointed toward a raise in idle. Easy enough. Raised it to a warm 1100. Great. Assumed it was good.
Took it out. 4 miles later, die-fall. NOT THE IDLE FOLKS. Not an ignition prob, not a kickstand prob, no loose wires.
It was in the shop for 4 days with the techs on the phone with Yamaha every day before they pronounced it
Good To Go!. Along the way they had to perform the CO mod that is locked out from the US which if we did would void our warranty, TB synchs, possibly voodoo... I have told them I won't take a damaged bike back from them since they never test drove it and it is THEIR problem.
Forward to today, Wednesday, 8/13/08 and I am (hopefully) in the final stage of them settling with me on a new bike. Plus the Helmet that put a 3" round dent in the gas tank.
This is not normal bike behavior, it is apparently somewhat
common since there are not THAT many sold every month and
how many frequent this board? 10%?
Take yours back. reproduce the problem. Don't leave until you do. Don't take it back until it is right.
If you stall on a left turn in front of a 18 wheeler. What then?
If they don't settle with me I am starting a lawsuit, already to go, just want them to make it right before I become a dick.
I'll keep you in the loop, as I may ask for general info from anyone with the same problem and I would be glad to share anything to help a fellow FJR out.
