[QUOTE="feejer222, post: 146680, member: 4611"] I have been contacted by Yamaha UK today. They have had my bike for about a week to try and resolve this problem. They have checked the valve timing, the ignition system thoroughly, the injection system, and have re-set everything to Yamaha specification. They have test ridden the bike for 100 miles and say that it has not cut out, but still has the cough when first opening the throttle. It cut out 4 times on me in 1100 miles and then again outside the dealers as I was riding off after a new TPS had been fitted. I would say that a 100 mile test ride was not enough. They now say that it still coughs if you open the throttle aggressively....so don't do it. Their answer is that it is what all FJR's do. But what if I want to open the throttle aggressively? YAMAHA REFUSE POINT BLANK TO PUT ANY OF THIS IN WRITING The cutting out problem nearly caused me to drop the bike in the middle of the road whilst turning right with my wife on the back. It could have been horrific had I not been able to hold the bike up. My dealer has just sold anothe which he said had the same cough but the owner is happy with it???? I have contacted another Yamaha dealer who has said that he has a demonstrator which also has cut out on him 4 times in 1000 miles. Between this forum and another FJR forum there are about 10 others who have the same problem. (From The UK, Australia, USA and Holland. How many more must there be? How many complaints must Yamaha be having and trying to fob off. I intend to make a case of this. If you have had similar problems please mail me with your details and story at grayorm@hotmail.com make the ref FJR problems Yamaha have obviously made changes to this bike that didnt work. [/QUOTE]
