Hello to all.
I have bought a new FZ6 Fazer S2 2008 three months ago. Up until now I was riding On-Off bikes and this is my first experience with a street and I must confess I love it.
I had no problems with the bike until last Saturday when I got out for a ride with a couple of friends, on some curvy, mountain roads.
Please note that this the first time I take the bike for a long ride, after the 1600Km/8000rpm limit on the manual.
Anyhow, after about one hour of hard riding (shifting up and down gears and braking constantly), the bike started turning off while I was pulling the clutch to shift down gears. Of course, because the bike was still moving, when I was letting the clutch go, the bike would start again.
I stopped and tried to troubleshoot the problem.
The only thing I could minimise as a problem, was the following.
While the bike was still, it was starting fine but when I was stepping on the gas (I really don't know the expression for a motorcycle in English ) without any gear on, it still would turn off.
It did the same thing with a gear on and me pulling the clutch.
The only way the bike was able to move, was me not going over 4000rpm. The bike was not on high temperature, the meter was showing 90C (which is pretty normal, I have seen it going over 100 some times)
I decided to head back home at that time.
The bike stopped doing the problem after a while of easy riding.
Please note that I didn't especially liked the gear box from the very first time I rode that bike. It just doesn't snap on the gears perfectly (especially when shifting down fast).
I didn't pay attention though because i have read some reviews online that say that the model's gear box is not very good.
My mechanic (who I started to believe is a thief and liar) told me that there is nothing wrong with the bike and that he reprogrammed the injection and now it should be fine. He also said that the engine oil I use is not good (PJ1) and that might have caused the problem (I have never had a problem with PJ1 with all my previous 4 bikes).
The only think that calms me down, is that I have used a different gas-station to refill that day and that might caused the problem (if the fuel was dirty or something).
I was wondering if any of you had any similar problems or if anyone could suggest something to check.
I really love this bike and it's pretty frustrating to have this kind of problems 3000Kms after I bought it.
Forgive my poor vocabulary, I live in Cyprus and english is not my native language.
Any help would be appreciated.
