Title: Carb TPS Help
Post by: Dwarf84 on March 07, 2015, 07:01:32 PM
Hello Guys,

I'm new to this forum and I'm new to motorcycles.

It would be awesome if you could help to fix a stupid mistake.

I bought a 04 GS500F, the old owner did not ride it very often and it was sitting for most of the time. So I decided to do some work before the season starts.

Today I replaced the oil and the airfilter AND I pulled the carbs while taking everything apart I removed the TPS and now I have no clue how to adjust it. Could someone let me know what I need to do?

I'm really concerned that I F'ed up.

I think I need to sync my carbs as well since one of the valves makes a sound once it touches the case and the other side does not make a sound. I don't know how else to describe it.

Thank you

Sebastian
