I have a 2004 Yamaha FZ6 with 15k miles on it. The engine dies when the RPMs get over ~5000.
Once the engine dies the start button will generally do nothing, not a single noise will come from the starter. I have to turn it off and on a few times with the key before it will start again.
I thought maybe it was the kickstand switch so I tried it in neutral and the exact same thing happened.
I let it sit for a day thinking it was a temp issue and that did not change it.
I checked the air filter and it's clean.
I guess the next step is to take it to a mechanic but figured I'd come here and see what ya'll thought.
My best uneducated guess is that it's electrical since the start button does nothing initially after it dies. On a lot of forums people seem to always suggest checking the spark plugs for pretty much any engine dying issue but if it was the spark plugs wouldn't pressing the start button after it dies still do something?
