“I was riding home on my 2005 Yamaha FZ6 motorcycle, when the engine began idling very rough. I had to roll on the throttle to keep the engine from stalling. Then a few seconds later I pulled in the clutch and the engine stalled completely. I was not able to restart the engine after 4 attempts. Then I turned the ignition off, and turned it back on, and the engine started as if there was no problem. Obviously, turning the ignition off and back on is merely a band aid for this issue, and not a permanent solution. …”

“1) 2005 Yamaha yzf r1. Normal everyday riding for 10,000 miles. After work I warmed up my motorcycle to 170 deg f. 2) when I slowed down the RPM's dropped under 1,000 and the motorcycle stalls/dies. It died 3 more times before I could get to a place to pull over. After I pulled over I got off my motorcycle and then let it idle. The idle was low but did not die. I then ride more and it happened 1 more time. I had to rev the engine to keep it from dying. I stopped and let the bike sit for over 1 hour. After I started it back up everything was running perfect again. …”
