tps evaluating for ii issues

[SportsterDoc]

Thank you Max and Sportsterdoc. My bike has never exhibited an error code, except when I unplug the EOT sensor. I checked yesterday, and I am able to unplug the connection to the TPS. I think I'll buy some contact cleaner and spray it on the connection and see if that does anything. Some members have had their idle problem corrected under warranty when the entire fuel injection was replaced; I wonder if Honda chose this repair because the TPS was faulty, and on the CB1100 the TPS is not available separately? Thank both you guys so much for all the effort you're putting into this!

That and a clean old toothbrush...but, more importantly, insure that all the connector contacts are fully seated into the connector insulator...not "floating" in the cavities.

Push each wire into the connector, to be sure that the contact retainig tab is seated.

This may have been the cause of more than one issue for members with idle issues

I think that Sportersdoc and Max put more effort in solving this problem than Honda USA does !

Thanks for the thought, but popgun has also been involved.

As for Honda or dealerships, an intermittent issue is a challenge to a mechanic living off flat rates.

What we (Max, popgun & I) have been working on should provide more method and less guessing...and hopefully reasons for each step.

Based upon Sportster experience (not that my Moto Guzzi did not vibrate just as much), poor/loose connections are the cause of many, MANY, M A N Y issues.

The CB1100 is very smooth, but a single improperly seated contact can cause alot of mischief.

Try as I may, I do not seem to be able to convince anyone to check for vacuum leaks or snug the intake clamps...but I will keep preaching! These may not be a single issue, but would still insure that they are secure.
