Hello everyone,
I'm having a few problems that I've spent the past week trying to sort out. My bike is the fazer 600 year 2000
It started when my rev counter started playing up, got home red the handbook and finally found out that it was actually giving me the 3.000k TPS fault code. As the bike is still running fine, no starting problems or running problems I took the route of unplugging the TPS, gave it a clean, checked the wires then plugged it back in.
Started it up. Let it idle for a while and no more 3k fault code, took it for a spin and 20 miles later noticed my rev counter bouncing around again, pulled over and again 3k fault came up.
Took it home, unplugged it again resetted the bike using the throttle method and plugged the TPS back, once again no more fault code, then as a test to see if it is faulty I unplugged it and then started the bike, sure enough it came up with the 3k warning again.
I've raped google so much my brain now hurts so I'm turning to you guys in the hope you can just answer me a few questions I have.
1, is there any more ways I can test the TPS to make sure it's 100% faulty other then just unplugging it to see if the code comes up?
2, If it is faulty do I actually need it? I've heard of people just putting in a blanking plug.
Finally 3, yamaha want £190 for a new unit, ( they can whistle ) I've red on google that a TPS off a bandit 1200 or a ZX6R would fit the fazer, as long as it has A2 stamped on it, does this mean any TPS with A2 on would fit? I'm finding it really hard to find a second hand one from a fazer 600.
Sorry this post is so long but I'm at my wits end now and the bouncing off the rev counter is an annoying reminder that I have a fault.
Thanks in advance everyone.
