bought a used 09 zx6r with a minor fall on its left side (tank dented). bike starts up fine rides fine. in stop & go traffic the bike feels as though it's about to die. i try to keep the rev high and it dies. this only happens in 1st gear and during hot weathers. it was thought that the previous owner overfilled the oil and noticed what appeared to be an oil spill near the engine and lower left fairings. changed the oil & filled it to the correct level, went for a ride in 70 deg weather and heard the fan go on at about 216 deg then the bike dies, the red fi light blinks and i cant restart the bike until i stop, turn the key off and turn back on.
the dash does not throw a code and it seems to only happen in first gear and when it's hot outside. i've searched the kawi forums and have read similar stories but not on the 09's. it was said to be a bad ecu. my first thought would be the tip over sensor or kick stand sensor but it's only doing it in 1st gear in stop & go traffic. perhaps the idle needs to be bumped up a notch? anyone have similar problems?
