hi and welcome!

what is your idle rpm? is it at factory recommended specifics? 1250-1400 rpm? when does it stall? by itself,,or when you try to take off or while clutching in when you are on the go?

when I try to take off and slowy down

Try to release the clutch super super slow giving it no gas. It should start rolling on be on your way. If you do this enough, you can find the friction point and start giving it some gas. When you find that "sweet spot" You will be good to go.

I got the sweet spot . About the TPS will that be the cause.

does the clutch eventually adjust or give in to one's own style of using it??

yoooo guys, sometimes mine does the same thing like ill be stoping and sudently it goes off like the rpms are really low like it needs some gas, but i restart the bike and it goes to normal. it happends every ones a blue moon!!

I have friends driving the fz and it happen to them too. The fz just stop and you have to sart the thing again . The dealership told me everything is fine but why I don't get it and it's getting worst . Please any sugestions cause I really like the fz.

You might have to adjust your idling speed. Crank it up a little so the RPMs never go too low and stall the bike. There is a screw on the left side of the bike that you can get to with a screwdriver. I can't remember exactly where it is, I'm sure someone will chime in.

If your bike is older than 2005 TPS should not be a problem. adjust your idle speed once the engine is warm. It worked for me.

I think you may have meant NEWER than 2005 (could just be region differences). The TPS recall was for 2004 and some 2005. If you have 2004 or 2005, you should call the Dealership and ask if the M2006-016R Technical Bulletin has been performed on your bike. You will need the VIN number.

+1 what year is the bike? Miles? Modifications? what does it idle at? any smoke or smells? how does it feel when it stalls? a jerk forward or a slow die out?

also, The chain loosening itself could be very serious, have you resolved that? if it comes off while riding and binds up in the front sprocket it could cause a lot of serious issues.

How long ago did you buy the bike? if it was from a dealer they should cover it for at least 30 days, even on a used bike or at least 1 year on a new bike.

How many miles have you put on the bike since you got it? You chain is more than likely too loose or the axle is not setting straight in the swingarm....

Sounds like many of you have the starting signs on the TPS failure. Check the technical forum for a sticky thread at the top that talks about it. If your dealer gives you problems please feel free to PM me and I will see about getting you a TPS. However I stress that if you change this part by yourself, you need to have some sort of mechanical knowledge.

The fz is new I have it since may and only 650mle on it . It jerk a lot and the chain the dealer don't know what the cause they keeped the fz for 1 week .

Sorry Mate that is what I meant exactly, If your bike is newer than 2005.
