levsade Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 It is not a key problem I thought also at first, Yamaha even replace the switch kit, after 3 times the last with new switch and being 100% sure switch was fully on. There is a problem in Motorcycle, a lot of people experience that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumberobueno Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Guys, Is there a solution to this problem ? I was planning on buying a used FJ-09 but this is a big deterrent. I don't even want to think the engine shutting off during a turn ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlaho808 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 This intermittent/random engine shut off is still happening. Now, a ticking noise. Sounds like the automatic timing chain tensioner is going out. Oh joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumberobueno Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Thanks mrlaho ! I wanted this bike so bad but I guess it's not gonna happen. It would be good to know if Yamaha decides to fix the problem at some point. Ride safe all you out there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksta43 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I had it happen twice when the bike was new. Hasn't happened in the last two years. I probably just jinxed myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suitedsevens Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have never experienced this in 3500 miles on my 17. I also live in a pretty mild climate and seldom see temps over 85. Wonder if heat is the culprit as has been suggested? '17 electric white fj - oem heated grips - oem hard side bags - heated corbin saddle - mra touring screen - motodynamic tail light - baja designs led turn signals - yoshimura full exhaust/fender eliminator - k-tech razor r rear shock/front fork kit - evotech radiator guard - mt-09 adventure pegs - pazzo shorty levers - stainless bar end weights '19 Husky fe501 - cut off a few things and fixed the fueling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Henchman Posted June 16, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have never experienced this on my always garaged 2015 CA model with 12k+ miles riding in 40-95 degree weather (knocks on wood). One of my Buells had a similar issue only when idling at a stop (idle = angry paint shaker) - turned out to be a bad connection inside the ignition switch. Replaced the switch, never happened again.

duhs10 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I would suspect ignition switch or maybe side stand switch. I feel like Ive read where someone else had a similar issue and it turned out to be a faulty side stand swith. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

tktplz Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 We had a similar problem with the Yamaha VMax. Our difference was that it makes the bike die but you still have a headlight, dash lights, etc. On this, I'd go with the ignition switch but first I would make sure my main ground is good. OHM it out. That was also weak on the VMax and we had a cmember who made some and sold them. Anyway, I'd go the ground, ignition route. Ain't no fun when the rabbit gets the gun!

skipperT Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Ok. So what were the circumstances? -Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk9spit Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Bike started 1st touch of starter a couple of days ago. Today no start. I have charged battery, even jumped to van but no ignition. Not a heat situation but will be looking at injection system and side stand switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk9spit Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Did check of side stand and neutral switches....both operating correctly. I recall a thread that dealt with more checks but cannot find it. Anyone know how to locate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk9spit Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Problem solved??? Did another fuse check but found no burnouts. Was looking at other posts and someone mentioned that the ignition switch might be at fault and he had to hold some pressure on switch to start. Tried it and she started, and will start as usual at first hit of start button. So no idea if it was a fuse connection or the ignition switch having a bit of dirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
