So my '06 R6 has been sitting a week, go out to start it and it wont fire without giving it gas, and it won't idle until I've held the throttle and kept the RPM's up for awhile. If I let off the throttle too early it just dies. If I hold it there awhile, maybe until it warms up, it idles and rides fine until I kill it, then the problem persists. I show 12 volts at the battery and 14 when its running, is this a sign of a bad battery? Or is this fuel/throttle related?

bad gas, maybe some crud in the injectors...
run a fresh tank of gas through it with a bit of seafoam and then see where youre at -

A bit of seafoam with the gas? I've used that stuff to clean vaccum systems on cars, same stuff right?Originally posted by dsrtuckteezy View Post
It's just odd that it won't idle at first, then it seems to clear up. No dying on me while riding, just on initial startup.Comment

the bottle will look like thisOriginally posted by Dave View Post
It will tell you how much it takes to treat the amount of gas you have in the tank or just drain the tank and put fresh gas in it but it sounds like some trash either in the line, filter, or injectorsComment

Drain gas, fill with fresh 93. Please skip the seafoam.Comment

I would use seafoam for other stuff, but not fuel.
if you just must use something, try fuel injector cleaner.....duh rightComment

Possible TPS issue?Comment

This bike is notorious for this problem. Mine does the exact same damn thing and after hours on forums I can't pinpoint what is exactly wrong. If it's under warranty that may be your best bet. If you do find out what it is please post up. I ran sea foam and it does not help. Changed plugs etc etc.Comment

The only other culprit I can think of would be the TPS sensor.Originally posted by ARIX View PostComment
