2005 Fz6 stalls when lifted up right

[ghostdog]

I just got a good deal on a 2005 Fz6 and one thing I am trying to figure out is why it cuts out. It has 11,000 miles.

When the bike is resting on the kick stand it will idle and rev fine. When you sit on it and center it out or just lift it to the side it will turn off.

It was sitting for about 6 months so the gas is pretty crappy I'm sure, but I cannot imagine why lifting it to the right makes it cut off.

Any ideas?

Might be bad gas but if it run fine in one spot it should run fine in other spots. My first thought is something to do with the kickstand and the cutout switch. Try putting it on the center stand and starting it with the kickstand up. On the center stand does it make the fuel pump noise when the key is turned to the run position?

Just a couple of ideas that first popped into my mind.

is their a tip over switch and maybe that is bad ?

Not sure if it has a tip over switch but I will check for one and try bypassing it tomorrow.

It should have a tip over switch but I wouldn't think that just moving from the siting position to the riding position would kill it. Is this something that has just started happening? Like did the bike do it when you picked it up from the previous owner?
Also are you sure it's not in gear with the kick stand down?

Yes it has a lean angle sensor. Listed as the 'emergency stop switch' #26 here: Ronayers.com Microfiche Yamaha>Motorcycle>2005>FZ6ST FZ6>ELECTRICAL 2

Tip over sensor or side stand switch would be the first things I check.

It does have a lean angle sensor check that first because that could very well be it thats how a lot of people wreck popping wheelies and the lean sensor shuts the bike off

Turns out the idiot I bought it from was messing around the seat and knocked it off. I put it with the sensor "up" part up and now it runs beautiful.
