10x very much for the useful replies...
as a matter of fact, I did try to communicate with the yamaha dealership again today; explained them that after all I am driving a Yamaha motrocycle with a defective TPS, for which there's a factory recall....
so finally, they decided to check out and see if they can change it...
over the weekend I was at a California superbike school at the Serres circuit in Greece and the problem appeared all of a sudden; a few hard restars (turn the key on and off) corrected it... but after the classes, on the 230 km way back to Sofia, the bike did not run properly again: it felt as though there's not enough fuel transmitted to the engine?! the engine worked with uneven rate, as though I opened and closed the throttle sharply and finally stalled when going down to a lower shift...
luckily, I did not experience any accident... :thumbup:
Throttle Position Sensor Issues (Are you Experiencing Poor Idle/Mileage, or Stalls?)
What are the Symptoms of a Faulty TPS?

To check the TPS values, you have to press and hold SELECT + RESET, then turn the key and keep them pressed for 8 more seconds.
It'll appear dIAg on the display, you can release them now. Afterwards use select until you see a d01 (Diagnostic Mode for the TPS)
Then it should read between 15 and 17 if the throttle is closed,
With the throttle fully open, it should read between 97 and 100.
If the values are over or below those I mentioned, the TPS should be replaced.
To leave the dIAG mode, simply turn the key counter clockwise.

At a minimum, I think Yamaha can/should send you the part for free. Maybe they may ask you to pay for shipping since you are overseas? At that point maybe you have to pay for labor? Have you contacted Yamaha directly? Explain your situation and perhaps someone there will be able to contact your local Yamaha dealer in Lithuania. As the manufacturer maybe they will convince the local shop to fix it regardless of where you bought it from?Hi all, i have a problem, so i need your advice, i have my fz6 2004 with poor idle or even engine stop, in service they said that it is TPS problem, but dont wonna to change it with a new one, only with my money help, they said: because your bought your bike in America and brought it to Lithuania, recall is for american motorcycles is only in america. what i must do? who should i ask? Thanks for any help. Sorry for bad english.

Further, I am not sure the recall is only for American bikes. I haven't read it recently but I thought it was just by year and not location?
