Hi guys. I went for a ride on my recently purchased R6 yesterday. Did the Akaroa G.P and it performed beautifully for almost the entire run. As I got back into town it started running as though it was starving for fuel, possibly missing. It was just running rough. It lacked power in the lower rev bracket. I got it home and it didn't want to start this morning so I checked today: Air filter ok. Fuel pump primes ok but the screen mesh had a bit of crap on it so I cleaned that off. Spark plugs weren't looking too flash so I have replaced them. It still doesn't want to start. It almost does but then dies. The battery is now currently charging after dropping down to 11.96V.
Bike has only done 9000k's and is very tidy. I'm not sure if it's had the TPS replaced, I understand there was a recall for this year. Could that be it? I'm going to have to take it to Trevor Pierce (I'm in Christchurch), I usually go to Kevin at KG's but thats with carby bikes and not sure if he'll work on this type being fuel injected. I find him to be very good what's peoples experiences of Trevor Pierce? Or any recommendations for a good trust worthy technician that know's Yamaha R6 really well? I don't want parts thrown at it type diagnosis. I could do that... Other thoughts are Crank Sensor? Coils? I can test coils once battery is recharged and I was also going to bring up the fault codes to see if any.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated especially in where to take it... I'm gutted I've only had the bike a week...![]()
