tps evaluating for ii issues

[dave]

It’s back, and with a vengeance. Rode the bike in town yesterday evening about 10 miles total, running an errand and going to dinner, and it ran perfectly. Rode it tonight on my normal 60 mile round trip to visit my mother-in-law and it ran perfectly all the way there, and 29 out of 30 miles on the way home. Trip is about 26 miles of freeway each way, which are a constant 70 mph on the way home. When I pulled off the freeway and stopped at the first light the idle dropped to 700 RPM, but quickly worked its way back up to 1,050 RPM by itself. This repeated at the next two stop lights, and when I reached my driveway, 1 mile away. Instead of pulling in I rode around the neighborhood, and at the second stop the engine stalled. I restarted it, and it stalled again. I restarted it again and it stalled a third time. The only way it would stay running this time is if I held the throttle slightly open. Normally, when this condition occurs, it drops to 700 RPM, and then slowly works its way back up to 1,050 RPM; it doesn’t usually stall. I rode home, about ¼ mile away, and when I reached my driveway it did the 700 RPM to 1.050 RPM routine. I turned the bike off and put it in the garage. I am going to unplug the TPS connection tomorrow and spray it with cleaner again, and work the connection off and on to try and clean any potential corrosion.
