“My 2013 Yamaha xtz1200 Super Tenere has failed to decelerate when I shut the throttle off. The engine revved at over 3000 RPM. When in gear it would just keep accelerating unless the clutch was engaged, if engaged the engine would drop to about 1500 RPM, however when released the engine would again rev past 3000 RPM. When this occurred I to pulled off the road, killed the engine and restarted; it took a 5-7 restarts until the engine seems to run properly. On other occasions the engine will shut off completely when decelerating. …”
