Hello Everyone....
So I have a small problem with the bike. I'm going to do my best to describe the two issues my bike is having the situation it happened in to best give everyone the best idea on whats going on.
I have the 09 FZ6R currently with 2,800 miles on it. ( I do also have a TB and PC5)
one friend on a local forum ,geo, suggested that it may be the PC5 that I have installed, that due to the bike not being Dyno'd/tuned is why its shutting off. I'd love to hear everyones suggestions on what they think it would be and if anyone wants to come around and give me a hand in its fixing, that would be FANTASTIC. C'mon, help a girl out (IF anyone is local that is..I know thats only like...2 of you...haha)
Issue #1. This has happened twice, both at about 2 hours of riding. I pull up to a light, and rather than downshifting as i approch, I fully in engage the clutch and downshift as a slow down, applying the brake as I get to that point where I need more of a stop. Well, as clutch is fully engaged and I'm slowing down, the bike shut off. I do not believe it was overheating, the clutch was definitly fully pulled in, so i didnt just stall out of anything. So i come to a stop, put it in neutral and push the start button. It comes right on..no issues. This has happened twice now, at about 2 hours or so into a good ride. Mind you, i dont do CRAZY speeds or anything so it was a mild touring/cruising type ride on the bike, seemingly no stress on the bike itself
Issue #2. This has happened a couple different times in different situations. The most recent situation that I can explain in detail about what happened, was yesterday. I was in the left hand turning lane, waiting for the light, a lovely idiot driver ahead of me. The light turned, giving us a green arrow and he proceeeeeeeeded to just sit there. I gave the bike a little rev to give me some noise to wake said driver up, and the bike went up in RPM's, lowered and was off....werrrrrid. So I started her back up and went home (a whole 2 minutes away) When I got home, I wanted to do a couple tests to see if it was situational, happenstance or w/e...cuz there was times a good rev and it did nothing, so it wasn't the first time i rev'd the bike, clutch engaged and nothing happened. So when I got home i did it a couple times with clutch fully engaged and with the bike in neutral. Small little rev's and the bike was fine. You could hear what sounded like it cutting off, but would pick itself up and keep running...but if she went over a meeny 3k... it would go up and shut off when ti got back down to idle.
Can anyone PLEASE help/offer advise? Geo suggests thats it the PC5, that having the correct map on isnt enuff, that i should get it tuned as well. Which, in general, I want to do, but i want other opinions on if this is what is causing this and if anyone could tell me why? Other have suggested me checking the play in the clutch cable, does this sound close as well?
I'm looking to learn here to any information either it be gear heads knowing what it could be doing, or anyone that has had similar problems and what fixed it...it would be great to hear from you!
Thank you so so so much in advanced for helping the girl newbie out guys!!!
Again, if anyone things they can come around and give me a hand, anything is appriated (maybe your buddy can give me a dyno discount or you wanna get ur hand on the throttle and give it a couple twists and is local....of course) please let me know!! THANK YOU!!!
