tps evaluating for ii issues

[dave]

Hi Doc. First, you are correct, I mistakenly identified the Black/Yellow wire as Red/Yellow, sorry.

It appears that based on my voltage test results, my TPS is functioning normally – do you agree with this statement? I used the bike to run some errands the evening after I performed the TPS tests and it ran well - idling at 1,050 RPM at each stop. I rode about 12 miles, made three stops where I turned the engine off, and stopped about a dozen times at stoplights. Maybe disconnecting and reconnecting the TPS sensor improved a faulty connection? It’s too early to tell.

I went back and reread your posts; post #58 is describing a TPS resistance test. Is this test just confirming the voltage test results at the Black/Yellow wire? Connecting the VOM probes to the TPS while the TPS is installed on the bike will be very challenging. Can this resistance test be performed with the TPS connected to the wire harness?

The resistance tests you describe in post #59 sound pretty straight forward; I think the most difficult part will be removing the gas tank. I’ll try to perform the post #59 tests this weekend.
Thanks again for all your support, Doc, Max, and Popgun.
