Do you or your husband have a voltmeter to test the battery voltage?
Looks like a nice bike, I think you should go pick it up next week, ride it to my house and we can rip into it.Do you or your husband have a voltmeter to test the battery voltage?
I’m just curious how the battery is, easy to check@mistersouthpaw yes I do have a voltmeter...I'll add that to my list of things to check this weekend...we checked the connections and they were fine...
It was pretty clean in the before pic@Trials nice clean chain per your request...LOL
search all day and you wont find a broken part on that bike. (except the chain gaurd lol) I am almost certain now that it is the bikes fuel cut off feature at closed throttle combined with a lean fuel mixture from the factory causing the bike to stall. Install fuel controller, remove pair valve/air injection system/whatever yamaha calls the smog pump on this bike. Have the bike remapped on a dyno and your problem is gone. Also op needs ethanol free gas - no ehtanol esso gas fiddles. Raise the idle to high end of the spec ~1300Oxygen sensor!
... I'm trying to think of all the things that would cause it to just stall for no apparent reason while it is idling.
Oxygen sensor alters your motors fuel delivery on the fly and it has a fairly high component failure rate. Likely about a 40$ consumable part unless they get greedy at the dealer parts counter.
You won't get stranded, don't worry about that, Its a Yamaha CP2, rated the most reliable engine in the world...
Wow! That's a big, bold, broad statement.
Sez who?
The engine runs on 86 octane fuel and is easily capable of 58 MPG/4.9 Litres per 100 kilometres, just ask anyone on FZ07.org. Oil changes are spread out over 4000 miles and the Valves don't need to be checked until the 26,600 mile/42.808 Kilometer mark.
Reliability? We have over 9000 members on the FZ07.org forum and we have heard of ZERO engine failures. Zero. Zilch.
CP2. The wonderful engine that powers the Yamaha Ténéré 700-T7
Back in 2014, Yamaha launched the MT-07 in Europe, Australia and Canada. The bike was eventually released in the USA as the FZ-07 in June of the same year. I was so taken aback by this bike that I created fz07.org as the first forum for FZ-07 owners in May of 2014. As soon as the bike was announc...www.tenere700.net
Don't ask me, I'm not an owner ?Yes, very impressive, but somewhat subjective, isn't it? I'm not questioning or doubting the reliability or performance, rather the specific claim "rated the most reliable engine in the world".
Again, says who? A group of CP2 owners?
Wow! That's a big, bold, broad statement.
Sez who?
My qoute should have said Market, not world, and specific to Motorcycles if that makes a difference
