I just bough a 2008 Fz6 and only done a few hundred miles on it, it has about 4500 now.
I was on the highway, and after riding for 10 minutes at about 70mph, I had to slow down for a traffic jam. The engine was kind of hot, and I was doing 20-30 mph. Suddenly the gauge display started flashing ON and OFF, the rpms went up and down (it hit the redline a couple of times), and the clutch was engaging and disengaging. I looked at the engine light and that was flashing too. I pulled over and let it cool down for a few minutes, and then continued riding it home, without any problems.
What could be the problem? Is it because the engine was hot? My feeling is that the engine is always a bit too hot, even if I don't rev it that much. Is that normal for this bike?
