Have owned an '07 R1 for over a year, and suffered with constant stalling at low revs - as soon as throttle is closed it dies. If the engine doesn't die, it's really jerky. It's got to the point where I'm increasing the revs as I'm pulling the clutch in just to try and keep the engine going - not ideal for daily commuting, and frankly scary at junctions, roundabouts, etc where it would routinely die on me!
I spoke to dealers, garages etc and received conflicting advice, or in the case of Yamaha UK, complete denial of any issue at all.
Now for the good part.....
Bike and issue is completely sorted thanks to Ossian's posts, and his detailed PDF on how to adjust the throttle position sensors. Adjustment took me 30 mins to carry out (and I'm no mechanic!). Revs now idle at 1100-1200 rpm, it DOES NOT STALL AT ALL, and rides like a dream thru the lower rev range, picking up seamlessly from idle with no jerkiness.
It feels like having a new bike, and one that I feel so much safer commuting on.
Cheers Ossian for the guide - have attached to share the love!
