inside a £200 TPS
« on: 02 June 2015, 03:44:01 pm »
Hi

Replace the TPS on my 2000 Fazer today
Out of curiosity I dismantled the old one and found one of the tiny electrical contact brushes had broken off  :eek

How on earth do they warrant the price for what's basically a volume control

£200? :eek

FFS, it should be at least gold plated for that sort of money.

Hi

I used the one for a Suzuki 2005 SV650SU and paid £82.74 even that's a rip-off
I found the TPS manufactures site, for very similar looking TPS's > Minimum order 50 units 8 Dollars per unit     

Edit... I've just found a Yamaha TPS at around £170 from Fowlers
