hi guys well got my bike out that garage...... all they did was fit a new tps which wasn't broke in the first place and charged me £275 and left my bike in bits just to keep the cost down for me. so had it picked up and took it to some friendly people i know. they have found out that my compression is down in all cyl as they showed me while they did it. cyl 1 : 100psi cyl 2 : 120psi cyl 3 : 150psi cyl 4 : 100psi and they told me they will relap the vavle's for me for £80 and rebuild the bike all i have to get is head gasket and vavle stem seals and should be ready for monday so hopefully that would have cured my problem will let you know cheers stu

thanks guys going to the garage tomorrow so will give you the full run down on what they say bout my bike. cheers stu

right things are going bad to worse just had phone call off garage. now they sayin its the vavle stems themselfs as the compression is low said bout 110 i think ? and they need grindin and lappin back in. so doesn't look like i will see the road this year can anyone throw some light on this or just try and cheer me up.

hi guys well i've got a 99 r6 as my first bike !! but since i've had it i've been havin problems the bike has done 20 thousand on the clock and i have no service history with it. first of all when riding its ok but the problem i'm havin is when i pull up to juctions or ride at low revs it will cut out and sometimes as you pull away it will struggle really bad like its wants to cut out then come to life... quite scary sometimes. as for the good or bad deal took it to a local yamaha dealer they told me it was the throttle position sensor was faulty they have changed that... and the bike still has the problem so now they said its the vavle stems seals have worn and need doin so i don't burn them out. so just want to know are they takin me for a ride to get more money or could this be right. any help will be appricatied cheers stu
