    Fuel pump and starter not working

    How did you bypass the lean sensor? There are three wires; the blue wire is a common voltage reference that is shared between the OAT and TPS, the black/blue is ground and the yellow/green is the actual signal? I don't think you can simply tie the signal to ground. I could be wrong, but the...

    Faulty IACV

    ...screwing them all out and my idle is skyrocketing. Last thing i didn't do was to replace oring from the iacv and idle screw Ive adjusted the tps to .73V it did lowered my idle to 1200-1300 (richening the mixture) My issue above 8k rpm seems to be my cheap universal fuel pump ive bought , my...

    Running bad.

    ...check the battery and inspect ground contacts for corrosion. This should have been done prior to swapping out the R/R. Your mechanic sounds like a lazy parts swapper...he will cost you a lot of money. I can almost guarantee you there is noting wrong with the TB, and a faulty TPS is less likely.

    Low RPM Sputtering

    I reread parts of this thread this morning and I think we may have missed something that may be important. Early on in the thread it is determined that 1 cylinder was cooler than the other 3. And it seemed like the problem might be an intermittent misfire, not a completely dead cylinder. And...

    Bike keeps losing power to where I have to turn it off and on for it to regain throttle

    Year bike? Off hand, it sounds like possibly the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) may be the issue. There were some factory re-calls for '04 and '05 bikes. See below: https://www.600riders.com/threads/throttle-position-sensor-issues-are-you-experiencing-poor-idle-mileage-or-stalls.181/ .

    FZ6 Idle Keeps getting Un-Adjusted (high variations idle)

    That's a 2005. IT could have a bad TPS that was in the recall but was never taken in. Another thing that can cause funny idle behavior is a failing kill switch. Would not hurt to make a jumper to bypass the kill switch to see if the intermittent idle calms down.

    ^+1 on the TPS. It is a known issue that resulted in a factory recall. Use the attached link to the NHTSA site, where you can enter your VIN to see if your bike is impacted...

    FZ6 Idle Keeps getting Un-Adjusted (high variations idle)

    ...the opportunity to check the bike. Anyway, here are my news: 1) I went to my local Yamaha Dealer with my VIN, and they say the recall on the TPS is no longer supported. They didn't clarify wether my specific VIN was affected, but stated that almost all 2006 models had this issue. The cost...

    Engine surging

    I think I got it. I went ahead with the 'uplugging the sensors' test, starting with the coolant temp sensor. My thinking was that of the 3 suspects, the coolant temperature sensor lives the hardest life. So before making any changes, went out for a control ride to make sure the problem was...

    Running bad.

    ...I let the revs drop and it cut out. It started after a few attempts, but only just. I spoke to the mechanic and relayed my concerns about the tps but he is very reluctant to consider this. He wants to replace the throttle bodies (second hand) and attached tps. He also is considering the...

    Fuel pump replacement

    You did check the TPS thru the dash? No skipping of #'s? .

    Fuel pump replacement

    TPS' have been known to go bad but test fine thru the dash. Read up on that thread. .

    1987 FZ600

    I did balance them with a vacuum gauge. Didn't spend hours on it, but it was pretty close. I didn't run it much before the engine/trans rebuild, but I seem to recall it did the same behavior. I only cleaned carb, did not rebuild - but DID replace the emulsion tubes, and adjusted float height...

    FZ6 Idle Keeps getting Un-Adjusted (high variations idle)

    Here's the site to put in your VIN but the '06 model doesn't show a re-call for the TPS, the earlier models do: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2006/YAMAHA/FZ6 Also, there's some vacuum lines at the front of the throttle bodies, 2 on each side, used for doing a TB sync. They'll be poking out a...

    Need Help Bike Intermittently Dies or Won't Start

    ...the plug caps are tight and are firmly screwed onto the wires. Checked vacuum, breather, and fuel hoses for kinks or damage. Checked the TPS numbers, 16-100, no gaps. Checked connection of main harness to ECU. Clean and tight. Treated fuel with Yamaha Ring Free Plus. I've looked through old...

    Desperate for help: Bike starts stuttering after a while - repairs itself by turning engine off and on again

    Thank you very much for the reply! I already checked, cleaned and lubed all connectors that I could (easily) get my hands on, and I did not encounter any corrosion. My gut feeling still tells me it has something to due with the fuel tank. Wether that is the fuel pump itself, or the fuel pump...

    Fuel pump replacement

    ...16 (or so) to 100 (can be slightly higher) but yours sounds considerably higher. Here's a thread (and do a search here) that may be helpful: https://www.600riders.com/threads/indicators-for-bad-tps.50339/ It sounds like the TPS is not responding when turning the throttle, IE, butterflys...

    Yes, it goes from 16 to 106 (or 116 I don't remember)

    Fuel pump replacement

    Hi Scott, sorry for my inaccurate answer, rechecked again: 16 to 101... so should be ok

    Low RPM Sputtering

    ...(where are 4 air (needles) screws). Needles were very dirty. Also I disassembled idle screw, and cleaned chamber. 4. I exchanged fuel filter. 5. TPS is new and adjusted. 6. I did TBS. Vacuum is about 8 inHG (i have manometers) it is harder to synchronize, i don't have carbtune. Problem...
