I have a 2005 fz6 with 18,000 miles. Lately it has developed the oddest problem! Only after it warms up, it will randomly die. not stall like it isn't getting fuel, but it's EXACTLY like the kill switch is flipped. If it does this while moving, the bike will/might restart. But it's gotten worse and it can hardly idle once it's warmed up. It seems that if I toggle the kill switch back and forth once it starts dying frequently, that it stops (dying) for a good long while. Other troubleshooting info I can think of:
Things that come to mind are bad kill switch, bad connection somewhere, bad kickstand position sensor, bad ignition, or a wire insulation failure where it is grounding to the frame. I was hoping somebody else might have previous experience with this sort of thing? Feel free to ask any questions. I appreciate any feedback! Thanks!
- I don't believe it has ever died while accelerating (twisting the thottle)
- It only does this after it is good and warmed up.
