Max is favoring the TPS as being the cause of many of the issues.
We are continuing to research a replacement source.
In the meantime, how many CB1100 riders, who have experienced idle instability, have the following conditions:
1. Bike is parked outdoors, uncovered?
2. Bike is ridden in rain, especially heavy rain?
3. Bike is hosed off, occasionally/frequently?
If yes, to any of the above, has the TPS been unplugged (easy thumb release) and contacts checked for corrosion?
Note: Female/outer connector is facing up, which would likely funnel moisture, even though there may be an o-ring (oval) for the male/inner connector to press against.
For me:
1. Bike is parked outdoors, uncovered? Always garaged at night, on a two week trip, parked outside.
2. Bike is ridden in rain, especially heavy rain? Never heavy rain; light rain a few times
3. Bike is hosed off, occasionally/frequently? Have only washed the bike 2x; minimal water used.
In general, bike doesn't get washed much; I didn't see any sign of corrosion at the TPS connector.
