I had the same issue at around 50,000km after getting viciously stuck in mud and also I made the mistake of changing my oil using cheap oil in Bolivia with the mistaken idea that cheap new oil was better than expensive old oil. Once it got to the point you described it went downhill rapidly from...

My guess is that loading the engine by accelerating and decelerating makes it easier to release the carbon that is building up naturally. I haven't pulled my engine part but what I can see when I do valve adjustments looks pretty clean.

Running at a constant speed with cruise control or on North American highways is a cause. I've been told that regular use of Yamaha "ring free" helps. I have over 100,000 km with no issues but I don't do much highway riding. All secondary roads without constant speed.

Tenere shims are the same size as used on most 450 class motocross bikes and these bikes get lots of valve adjustments, so any shop that does much work on MX bikes will likely have a selection of the odd sizes available for sale or swap.

I unplugged the electrical connection to disconnect it from the bike. It was strange that there were no codes thrown before it was disconnected. The only code found was code 30. Something about the engine shutting off because the bike was on its side. Might have happened a couple of times during...

It turned out to be a faulty MAP sensor, or intake air pressure sensor. It didn't throw any codes. Turns out the easiest diagnosis is to just disconnect it. The bike ran perfectly with it disconnected except for a constant engine warning light. It took a month to get the part but everything is...

The first time I dropped my bike was getting on using the peg with the engine running. I use the clutch religiously now whenever I get on.

It's a Canadian bike out of warranty. I'm in buenos aires now so I'll try and find a friendly dealer.

All I could find dealt with stalling at lights, or long after it's been running. Once I get it started, it never gives me any problem.

For the last week and about 1500km almost every time I start my bike it runs for about 30 seconds and then stalls. The second time I start it , it stalls again. The third start works fine and then no more issues. The bike runs perfectly otherwise with no idle issues and never stalls until I need...
