“I am aware of several dozen people who have had the same problem I am now having with failure of the throttle position sensor (tps) on a 2004-2005 Yamaha FZ6. This causes a new vehicle to run poorly and stall frequently until the part is replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10157605, filed 2006-05, 4,800 miles“Motorcycle has been idling poorly and stalling when coming off interstate riding. Gas mileage has also been dropping.
