this seems to be a road but not track problem. do you ride with a mobile phone in your pocket. I've heard of people having trouble (not r6) with petrol stations in europe cause they have phone jammers.

All i have to say is dont let it get out of hand like the 99-02 tranny prob that yamaha wont admit to. Find the source of that prob as fast as possible and annoy the hell outta yamaha about it.

Would this be related to the fly-by-wire throttle system, i've heard of some wires rubbing against the subframe and wearing out causing this?

I just don't get it, my bike doesn't have 1 damn problem everyone is talking aobut, never shuts off while riding, doesn't ever start slow, 2 lowsides and no dented fire tank.

You don't get it that every bike that rolls off the line isn't perfect? That defects do occur?

Do ya get it?

Yea, i am pretty sure i get it, but seems like everyone is having a starting problem, but me and my buddy, both fire right up.

Just odd is all....

The longest mine ever takes is 1 full second to start. and that's rare on my bike, but now i'm sure my bike will take 5s to start and will shut off while going to work tonight

I think you guys are just touching the kill switch when you ride, thinking its the super power boost button that our bikes came with.
