Premium Member topher73 Posted July 20, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 20, 2015 Anyone experience a sudden UN-expected engine cut off while on the road at speed or slowing to a stop? On separate occasions I have clutched in at speed (50-65) trying to figure out what the whining noise was and experienced my engine shutting off. Yesterday, while riding with a group it happened when pulling up to a stop sign. Clutched in again downshifting from 3rd to 2nd with no issues. When the group rolled up to the Stop Sign I clutched in for 1st gear and the engine cut out. I never have a issue with restart but just find this odd and frustrating, temperature was in the 90's.

Premium Member johan Posted July 20, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 20, 2015 It happened to me, just as I was accelerating to overtake, frightening. The motorist must have thought I was crazy. I realised that it was caused by me not fully turning the key - I think my gate remote which used the hang from my key obstructed it, so that I did not turn it to fully click on. Under acceleration it either turned slightly, or because of poor contact could not cope with the demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to turn around to see if a Welsh hedge had jumped out in front of you and you reappeared in my rear view mirror This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

levsade Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I did , happened to me while trying to accelerate in 2nd gear. The bike was, very sudden, simply shut down, the whole system, no engine, no lights, no electricity nothing. I stopped turned ignition key and like nothing happened. It seems like a bug in Ignition switch , it does not properly locked, it is something dangerous and seems like recall needed. It is the first time it happened to me with European model MT09 Tracer with only 6000 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipperT Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It does sound as if maybe the key was not fully in the ON position. Another thing I would check is battery terminals. Make sure they are tight. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member topher73 Posted November 16, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sudden cut off / stall happened again yesterday. Same scenario, rolling to a stop IDLE, clutch in and the bike cut off. Wondering if I have an issue with throttle body sync. Has anyone had this service performed at the dealer?

Premium Member lhancock Posted December 15, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2015 http://fj-09.org/post/29797/thread Exact same problem. Coming down through the gears to a stop sign. I dont have any keychains so they aren't causing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
com3 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 my first thought is kick stand switch or battery terminals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 same here. It can't be the kick stand as it never happen on high gear even going over bumps. so I would let Yamaha come up with an answer. I put mine into the dealer with order of Yamaha headquarter to look into the problem. all rider with this issue, please call Yamaha at 800 962-7926 ASAP, they need to know it is not only me to understand there should be a recall on it. so far I am the only one who complain to them and it is not good.

mrlaho808 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I have experienced UN-expected engine cut off while on the road at speed or slowing to a stop many times. This problem is intermittent. It is especially troublesome when it happens while filtering through rush hour traffic. I have also experienced hard starting in warmer weather when ambient temperature is in the mid 80's and above. Hard starting in warmer weather happens like clock work. I found this forum while I was researching these problems with my FZ-09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlaho808 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Yes sir; I have experienced these problems as you described them recently. I ride an 2014 FZ-09. Same engine, and it seems, same problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member n2shotokai Posted June 3, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 3, 2016 Maybe this thread should be merged with the deceleration stall thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member rustyshackles Posted June 3, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted June 3, 2016 I had this stalling problem with my Street Triple R. The source was never definitively ID'd but the suspicion was throttle bodies. My engine would cut out usually when slowing to a stop with clutch engaged, and a couple of times on the freeway while slowing in traffic.

levsade Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 It seems like a real problem in the MT09, which we must follow to reach a recall. The only common thing I can think about on the 3 occasions it happened to, is very warm weather. It is not only engine shut down, but simply all the electrical system went down, exactly like switching off. I slide out of the road turn the Key to shut down, turn back and start like nothing happened, It is pretty scary when you in highway trying to pass cars in crowded road. Yamaha needs to find the reason before someone will find himself injured or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
