Hey Fazer riders!
My 2004 Yamaha FZ6-S has a weird problem.
If I start the engine and ride off, everything seems to work just fine, but after 7 or 8 minutes or so, the bike starts to stutter and hold back as soon as I apply more throttle.
Nothing particularly weird so far, right? Here comes the weird part…
When this problem occurs, and I park the bike on the side of the road, whereafter I shut off the engine, and turn it back on again right away, the problem disappears.
When I then ride off again, I can enjoy my Fazer for about 7 or 8 minutes again, whereafter the problem inevitably starts occurring again. I can then temporarily fix the issue by turning the bike off and on again, but it will always reappear eventually.
The things I have already done to try to fix this problem:
Additional information:
I am desperate for advise on fixing this issue. I need my bike to get to college, and I can't afford to pay a mechanic to take a look at my bike.
I would absolutely love to hear whether or not you guys can provide me with some helpful tips and tricks.
I am looking forward to your reactions and answers!
Yours faithfully,
Dennis

The things I have already done to try to fix this problem:
- Refill the fuel tank with fresh petrol
- Replace the throttle positioning sensor (official Yamaha recall that my bike didn’t undergo yet prior to the problem first occurring)
- Ride around with an open fuel cap.
- Replace all four spark plugs with new iridium spark plugs
- Added a injector cleaning fuel additive to the petrol
- Added a fuel filter on the fuel hose
Additional information:
- The bike doesn’t give any fault codes/error codes
- The bike has 9150 km or 5700 miles on the odometer.
- I have owned the bike since February 2021, and bought the bike with just shy of 9000 km or 5600 miles on the odometer, so you could say the motorcycle has had this problem since the beginning of my ownership.
