tps evaluating for ii issues

[pdedse]

Put 191 miles on the CB today. We were totally prepared with my meter, the sewing needle stuck into the TPS connector, and the wife with her smart phone to record. About 50 miles of freeway, the rest on back/mountain/ desert roads. Stopped at least 20 times at lights. Turned the engine off and on 3 times. Temperature ranged from mid 60's to low 80's. Bike could not have performed better. Each time the idle was a perfect 1,050 RPM. I swear that when the low idle condition is NOT present the bike just runs better, and I say this because I can sense the bike responds quicker and better to throttle input when I am blipping the throttle on down shifts. I will continue to carry my meter with me whenever I ride, and I will repeat the TPS voltage test if/whenever the low idle condition returns.

Max, I have not used any cleaner to spray on my TPS contacts, yet. I deliberately have not done this because I do not want to introduce too many variables into the equation at one time. Thanks again, to all you great guys who are working to find a solution to this problem.

Awesome! But the one new variable you did introduce was that your wife was along.


What does it mean if the issue comes back now without your wife along for the ride?
