I WAS IN MOTION ON MY 2005 YAMAHA YZF-R6 AND HEARD RATTLING SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS LOOSE. WHEN I REMOVED THE FRONT SPROCKET COVER THE NUT WAS BARELY HOLDING ON TO THE THREADS.

WHILE RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE (2005 YAMAHA R6) THE IDLE WOULD OFTEN GO SO LOW AND STALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIME ON LOCAL STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAYS. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL TRAFFIC JAMS AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENTS. I HAVE READ ALOT OF ONLINE BLOGS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE WERE ALSO HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SOME SAY IT IS A FAULTY TPS. *TR
