Was having problems of surging under 3000 revs for the last few weeks, worse when cold and now getting worse when hot. It was a right pain riding in traffic. I eventually got around to do some checks on Saturday. I decided to check the TPS first as it is the easiest thing to check so lifted the tank, switched on the ignition, disconnected and reconnected the TPS to set it to test mode. The rev counter went into to a mind of its own, going from 0 to 1000 numerous times. That is certainly not right,
twisting the throttle slowed it down and it eventually settled on 0.
Loosen the screws, rotated the TPS and it would not settle at 5000, 0 and 10000 yes, but no way could I get it to settle at 5000.
Next half an hour looking for the spare, finally found it and replaced it.
Adjusted it to 10000 side of 5000 as a start point until I could take it for a run.
All back together and it started easier and sounded better, more revvy. Off for a a spin, what a difference all the 130 odd horses are back
Acceleration is back to wild and I have not fitted Ivans Kit yet, which is still in the box.
It was happening so gradually I had not really noticed the drop off in power.
Rode the long way to work this morning
What I had not expected was how much difference a properly working TPS would make.
A good wash and check the carb balance and reset the TPS on the cards for next Saturday and will be all ready for a blast Sunday
Roll on the weekend.
Oh FOC! it is only Monday
