tps evaluating for ii issues

[max]

That is why i asked Dave to unplug it and ride for an extended period at least 5 times, starting with post 1 of this thread, after 4 weeks i am still waiting for that moment.

Max. I have ridden my bike twice with the TPS unplugged, and reported it on this forum both times. The first time around my neighborhood, the second time while in a college parking lot. Granted, I did not cover a lot of miles, but the bike is unsafe to ride on the street with the TPS unplugged due to the fact the engine starts cutting out at 2,800 RPM, and completely shuts down at 3,000 RPM. I really appreciate your help, and I will take the bike over to the college tomorrow and ride it around with the TPS unplugged. How many miles would be an acceptable test? Also, exactly what am I looking for? I reported that the idle speed with the TPS unplugged was approximately 800 RPM. Both of the rides I did with the TPS unplugged were performed when the bike was experiencing the low RPM condition. If my bike is running normally (1,050 RPM idle), and I unplug the TPS and ride it will this generate the results we're looking for? Please advise. Thanks again for your support Max.
1 if your bike runs better after the tps is disconnected that would be an indication the tps is bad.

My bike did NOT run better after unplugging the TPS.

It appears ok to drive this way but just to be on the safe side i would not recommend long periods unplugged riding.

If you are not recommending long periods of unplugged riding, then what are we talking about here, a few miles?

Please advise.

Thank you.

---------------Yes, that is exactly the best time to test, if the tps is unplugged and the idle rpm does--- not change ---that is the outcome we are looking for.

---------------------Yup, agreed, but was the idle steady?

-----------------------Would say a day long is not bad but a week is not advisable, if you can ride for longer than is usually necessary to get idle issues that would be nice.


having trouble finding the right format for answering in the right way so put some lines in front of the answer instead, still learning here.
