“My 2005 FZ6 ran flawlessly till 4000 mile then the idle was dropping to 600-800 and then would just die. I would turn key off and turn key on again and restart and it would run fine. It happens twice a week. Once on wet pavement it was feeling boggish I pulled clutch to see and it was 600-800 and died. I let out clutch and almost lost it. I read about several other owners experiencing same problem and some rumor it to the tps sensor.”
