Thanks betoney, New battery last year as a possible solution. Post snugged very tight. I have the Maintenance Manual. Looks like I'll need to pull and test the sensor.

I have the above bike. Previous owner had the ECU Flashed and installed an aftermarket cruise. Over the past year I would lose power / stall out and receive the 059 Code ( Accelerator Position Sensor ). Generally, I can let the bike sit a while and restart with no issues( sometimes for months ) . Six weeks ago it happened, there was no restarting and I had to trailer it home. Now the code is cleared and it will run fine. Thoughts on how to troubleshoot this problem? Fuses look good. My thoughts: 1) Check / replace the APS. 2) Disconnect the Cruise ( not sure what needs to be done to do this ). 3) Send the ECU back to be returned to stock. The company that did the Flash claims there is no way this could be the problem. Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any insights.

I'm struggling a little here. Since I didn't catch the code when the CEL was on, do I: 1) Wait until it happens again and look for it? 2) Look through the saved codes to see what it was ( not exactly sure how to do this )? 3) Clear old codes and ride until it happens again? If it's 2 or 3 is there a tutorial somewhere? I have both the operator manual and the service manual and I don't see instruction in either? Thanks

Thanks Skip, New battery and good firm connections. I'll try to work on the codes and report back.

Batoney, 1) I did not notice an Error Code when the check engine light comes on. May had missed it. I'll look next time. 2) No new projects, just riding it. 3) I've had the bike for 2.5 years. Just done tires and fluids. It's a real pleasure to ride. The flash was done by the previous owner back in 2016. I have the receipt in my files.

My 2015 FJ-09 has had the ECU flashed by 2 Wheel Dynoworks. I've been getting a problematic intermittent " Check Engine " light which causes the bike to power down. Something is wrong. I then need to cycle through the on / off process until the light goes off and it runs fine. Does not happen always but enough to make me not wish to wander too far from base. I took it in to the local Yamaha dealer and they said due to the flash, they could not read the ECU and the they " were worried about my safety ". They suggested a new ECU at an estimated $1500-2K. I brought my bike home. 2 Wheel claims the flash won't impact an ECU read. Not sure what to do? Go to another dealer? Has anyone else had this problem? Suggestions?

Just to close this one out. I replaced the battery and took it for a good spin. Looks like that was the problem. It had enough to start it every time but the bike did not like it. The battery was still the factory install. Not a bad run for a 2015 bike / battery. Thanks for all who replied and I hope I'm not claiming victory too soon.

Just reviewed the maintenance schedule. All is in line with manual intervals ( air filter 23 months / 3K ago ). I did not see an error but it's possible I missed it. One possibility is the battery. I know this one is at least two years old. I keep it on trickle charger and it fires right up but I've had this mask a bad battery in the past.

16k on the clock. I've been riding it all spring. Owned it for a couple of years and have just done oil / chain / tires. Previous owner took meticulous care of it. I'd have to look at each of the above but nothing done recently. I've not put many miles on it. It's my city bike.

2015 FJ 09 I'm riding, the check engine light comes on and it powers down to an idle, I coast to a stop. I shut it off., restart with no light.. ride as normal and head for home. This repeats 3 more times. Each time after I restart, it rides as though nothing has happened. The final time, I ride 3 miles or so to home ( rides as new ) and park it. Not sure how to trouble shoot this. Suggestions? I was fortunate to only be a few miles out but now I need to figure it out.

Hi Folks, I'm 6'3" with a 32" inseam. I have a fair amount of torso. My 2015 FJ is stock with the seat in the high position. I find myself leaning forward into the bars which after 30 minutes or so, puts a lot of strain on my wrist and hands. The bar post are in rear facing, low position but I'm thinking that if I flip them, the bars will be slightly higher but I'll need to reach even further forward. Is my thinking on this correct? What about keeping the post in the same position and installing risers which will move the bars up and back an inch or so? I suppose I could lower the seat but I'm enjoying the leg room. Any other suggestions?

I bought a well equipped 15 for $5500 about 6 weeks ago off of a private seller. I think I found a good deal. ( It did need new rubber ) I see them for around $6K regularly but these are private sell prices. Personally, I like to size up the previous owner and get the maintenance history. It's worth the extra hassle to me.

Hi Folks, I weigh in at 220 without gear. 2015 FJ 09. I bought the bike used from a super persnickity guy who I'm gusses tweaked ( not changed ) the stock suspension setting. I have 44 MM of sag in the front by using the zip lock technique. Any easy tips on measuring the rear sag? It's set on #6 of the 7 adjustments. Thanks, LB

Doh! I just changed the oil last night. I suppose I could catch it and pour it back in.

THe seller did a pretty good job of setting the bike up it has: Madstag Screen / Brackets New Clutch Cable It's been flashed by some outfit in Wash State FJR Saddlebags with a professional Paint Match ( with luggage inserts ) Braided Steel brake lines all around Electronic Cruise ( works Great! ) Front fender color match painted an extended OEM Tail Box Bracket / Rack. I really miss a tail box for the misc stuff ( water, gloves, wallet, etc., etc ) I'm trying to decide between a oem box or just getting a little soft bag for the tail and getting use to the side bags. They work fine but need the key and are a little less convenient than having it on the tail. I changed the oil last night and have an appointment for new shoes next week. I'm thinking about a new saddle. I'm only good for about 45 minutes on the stock seat before it starts to come to my attention.
