There's a re-call for your year bike for the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor):
https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2004/YAMAHA/FZ6
I would get that checked to see if it was replaced. It could very well be your issue..

Hey Mate , I have a 2009 FZ6n , regarding the snatchy throttle ,Mine was the same so I bought a Power Booster for it online . The difference now I get smooth gear changes all through the rev range . Not a Power Commander .easy fit in the air filter box ,I think they were from Sweden or somewhere...
...is why I feel it's fuelling rather than the kill switch vibration, it just feels as if its being starved.
I've run the diagnostic check on the TPS and it reads 16 closed and 103 full open. I think that's ok?, and it reads every digit between, so not jumping.
Can the TPS become out of sync...
...and the Coolant Temp sensors. No particular reasons, but not long ago they were all disconnected when I serviced the starter.
4 - I tested the TPS and it meets the specs in the FSM.
Ideas / Next Steps
1 - Considering the problem is sporadic, I am thinking that if it IS a sensor, it is not...
...chain
Headgasket
Valveseals
Mechanical seal
Radiator and hoses
Cleaned the throttle bodies
Lubed throttle cables
Sometimes it hangs sometimes its not.
I'll install the TPS once it arrives then manually calibrate it using ohmeter.
Ill give you guys an update.
I've bought myself a moneypit.
Thanks for the reply!
I already went through the dash/TPS and did a throttle "roll on" check. No digits were missing or skipping whatsoever.
I already tried opening the fuel cap after the the issue occurs, but I have yet to try riding off with an open fuel cap right from the get go.
Bypassing...
Thank you for the reply Scott, but as stated in my post, I already had the TPS replaced by my local Yamaha dealer:(. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas or suspicions?
I just went ahead and cleaned and lubed all connecters with contact spray. Will test tomorrow to see if...
There are no chemicals that will clear a clogged fuel screen.
Back firing through the throttle bodies is an indication of a timing issue. Did any of your testing include the timing. I don’t think it’s possible to install the TPS incorrectly, but the back firing sure is curious.
The TPS can "check all he boxes" and still be bad...
When you checked it, besides checking the high and low #'s, did you check the numbers in-between? IE, no skipping, all #'s there?
.
...little dirty (I cleaned this filter 1 year ago), but I don't think there will be a problem, because problem is only in low rpm.
- I tried measure TPS values. Values were 20 and 101. I adjusted TPS to 17-98. But resistance was not according service manual, every resistance was out of specs...
RPM is measured by a trigger wheel and hall-effect sensor under the timing cover on the right side of the motor. See parts 14 and 21 on this diagram....
Thanks for your answer.
I forgot to mention, I checked the TPS from the diag Menu, it shows 16 on closed throttle and 100 on fully opened throttle. I've checked several times so this is probably not the issue. Thanks again tho!
What I was thinking is that maybe I need a TB Sync? Could it cause...
...hose and found nothing.
I figured i'll try to disable the IACV by removing the hose and bypass it.
What are your thoughts?
Haven't replaced my TPS yet
When ever i hit the throttle check engine flashes and bogs down around 8k rpm.
My gauge cluster button is not working i cant go to diag mode...
Interesting, and I've had this happen. A TPS can show good sweeping through it's range but not work correctly with the computer. The reason is probably noise that is created as the wiper travels on the resistive media. The DC component shows good on your ohm meter but there is static created...
...when I twist the throttle there is a delayed response from my bike and when I stop at a red light sometimes the idle is so low that the engine shuts down. I am aiming its not the TPS because if it TPS this issue must be from the start. I am suspecting it is to do with the temperature sensor ?
...ran the bike under load after clearing the fault codes,and had the engine management light come up. So read it and it was fault 15 which is the tps. So I rang a main yamaha agent and checked if my bike had been recalled for a tps change. Turns out mine hadn't been done and still needed to be...
