Hi all.
Finally got a bike yesterday - a new, to me
, 05 FZ6.
6400 miles, apparently the bike is from Texas, I'm in Northern Illinois.
I've been reading as much of the forum as times permits, which turned out to be a good thing, as I've already had trouble with stalling (No, really, it's not me)
I checked the TPS diag, which gives 16 fully closed.
The bike idles at about 1200 - 1300 cold, 800 hot. I adjusted the idle last night and took it out today...started stalling after about 10 or so minutes.
My skills are...ahem...poor, so the stalling issue makes tense times (pulling out into traffic with a line of cars behind me) even more tense.
I went home and started adjusting the idle screw some more, odd, I could get the RPMs up, but after a blip or two on the throttle, it would go back down to 800. After a few turns to somewhere around 1600 RPMs, blip, drop back to 800, I returned it back to where I started, figuring that I was barking up the wrong tree.
I noticed a few things today that make me think that the bike's previous owner may have had modded exhaust, if that is true, would he not have tuned for the exhaust? Could that be an issue? Is there a way to reset the computer settings to factory defaults?
On the other hand, is there an adjustment for 'hot idle'?
It does idle a little rough cold to warm, but it runs fine until it warms up 'all the way', then closing the throttle and pulling in the clutch is about the same as hitting the kill switch.
Other than that, I love the bike, plenty of power for me to grow into, nice lines, great color (blue/dark blue), comfy position and a front brake that'll stop a charging rhino.
