idle

Tell me if you're sick of me, really. I found a video which I never saw before that outlines the idle pattern of my bike. I'm slowly investigating things as I get days off, but it's a lot easier to get distracted and go riding than sit at home and wrench on the thing. Anyways, this is it...

Hi guys, new FZ6 rider here :-) Opened the season today - but after a total of about 4-5 hours of riding today (with a few stops) my bike started glitching out. First the dashboard went out and rebooted. Then again. I turned around and set course home, but It got worse as I was riding. By the...

Hello, I was hoping to get some help diagnosing an issue with rough and inconsistent idle on my 2009 FZ6. I've done a little searching around on this forum and other forums but haven't been able to come to any definitive conclusions. I am experiencing really rough idle and sputtering/loss...

I've got a bouncing idle problem much like the guy in this video. It happens to me once the bike warms up a bit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUsMO0KM-9w As far as I know, there are a couple of possible causes: -ECU needs to be ran through to remap itself after having the battery...

So not too long ago my stock battery hit the dust. I bought a new one, installed it correctly and everything, but about a month down the road from installing it I noticed that when my bike idles, the display cluster, headlights, taillight and turn signals all pulse matching up with the idle. I...

My bike idles at roughly 750 rpm. Per the service manual it should be around 1300. I want to increase it, but it says the throttle bodies should be synced beforehand. While I plan on doing it in the future, I haven't made the gauge set to do it yet. So the question is, can I bump up the idle...

For a while now i've had a uneven idle (sounds a v-twin at tickover) and it isn't smooth and constant. It's regularly serviced, not long had new spark plugs (correctly gapped), TB sync'd and runs fine when riding. I'm running a LV exhaust with baffles removed and a de-cat. If i turn the...

Hi all, 2004 FZ6 has been going great, but the last couple of months it's not been starting as well as it used to. It cranks over fine, and it does always fire up first time, but as soon as it fires up it only just gets going, and it takes a second before it's up to high idle. Previously it...

I Just bought a 2004 FZ6 with 14000 miles, was running fine for test ride and the first few rides that I took total about 100 miles. I think this might just be down to bad fuel since it is the tank that I bought the bike with but the whistling noise is what bothers me. yesterday I went to ride...

I'm hoping this is a low idle setting problem. That's what a couple of other threads pointed to, and my idle is lower with the PC III than it was before. About 1050 - 1100, whereas it was 1200-1250 before the PC III. I found the idle adjustment, and I'm guessing that I just follow the...

I have an '06 with 4,800 miles with k&n filter, leo vince exhaust & cat eliminator. my idle is really lopey, it goes up and down from 1320rpm to 1080rpm. i did the TPS test and the range is 16-100, so i guess it is in spec. any ideas why my idle is so poor?
