So I checked the TPS on my 2006 while I had the carbs out for mixture setting and shimming. The orig owner had taken the bike in for a warranty claim for high and hanging idle and they cranked the TPS to "fix" it. I found the TPS with a normal value at idle but with about 90% of that value at WOT across the appropriate pins. I reset it to 76% at WOT as suggested in the manual and the WIKI (damn those screws were TIGHT!
My actual numbers - 4.99 k ohms across the appropriate pins initial value, 4.4 k ohms across appropriate pins at WOT. Set WOT value to 3.79 k ohms and had to move the TPS quite a bit from where the dealer had it.
anyway, the bike runs much better now - don't know if it's from the carb work or the TPS adjustment. Anyone know how sensitive the bike is to TPS, and I'm surprised someone hasn't found a sweeter spot than factory for best running. Thanks.
