2003 yamaha yzf r6 shuts down during ride or at a stop.was riding my bike from my storage to the house when it just started idling low and shutting off.i've had this happen to me numerous times since i bought it in 09 with only 4k miles on it.sometimes if bulks and looses power and it just shuts off...so far if i shut off the bke and wait acouple of minutes if starts right up as if it just needs to be reset but i'm worried about it happening as i'm going around a curve or in high traffic or speeds.i've had yamaha dealers and performance tech do diagnostics on it and they say its electrical but cant say which part exactly.i've replaced fuses, the tps, and the coil with no results.
I am posting this complaint in conjunction with another posted about the yamaha r6 motorcycle.mine was a 2003 and i believe most of the issues are with this year.the bike shut off while riding when pulling in the clutch or letting the rpm's dip low when coming to a stop - below about 2500.bike should have idled easily around 1500.it was in the shop 3 times and no dealer could figure it out.we called yamaha and they said they'd never heard of it . Not true.please see this website: http://www.r6messagenet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30990&highlight=nhtsa and http://www.r6messagenet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1513&highlight=nhtsafor details on many other riders having the same problem - and yamaha denies they ever heard of it.many others have called them with the same problem.this is a serious safety issue and somebody is going to get killed.i finally traded it in because it is not safe.it had happened to me multiple times over the last two years. The last date reported was the last time i brought it into the dealer (approximate date).
