So I’ve moved on from the TPS to exup
Stripped it all down and cleaned/greased it.
Having put it all back together I started her up and could see that the valve moves about 45 degrees clockwise and stays there whatever the revs. When I switch the engine off it stays at the same position. Switching the ignition on will cause the valve to reset to the correct position over the hole.
I’m sure I’ve got the cables the same way round as before (black outer at the bottom - I might try to swap them over to check anyway) and the valve rotates fully without the cables attached.
Looking on YouTube it seems the valve is continually moving in line with engine revs.
One odd thing I noticed is that with the ignition on but the engine off, I can hear the servo motor under the tank crackling intermittently (hunting?). It’s a very quiet noise and to be truthful Ive heard it before and just put it down to it being held in the correct position. Obviously I cant hear it with the engine on and there is no smell of burning.
Just thought - Could I have messed up on the TPS setting and that’s causing the Exup to have a paddy?? :eek
Just thought I would say hi after buying another fzs1000. Bought my first one in 07 and didn’t keep it long, less than a year. I know I know a fool and his money!!
I joined the forum in 2013 whilst running a Fazer8. So have now reactivated my account and glad to see it’s still an active forum.
All the best, Mark.

Just giving the bike a good seeing to ready for when the sun comes out.
Decided to check the TPS for the first time (only had the bike for 10 years!) and following the advice elsewhere I got a steady 10k reading.
Initially I couldn’t get it to move to a steady 5k - was bouncing between 5k & 10k until I twiddled with the tickover adjuster. I read elsewhere this is normal.
The question I have is that during this the cooling fan came on!!
I hadn’t started the engine and it was bloody cold in the garage so I was a little surprised to say the least.
Is this normal when in TPS set up mode?
Also, how would you set it up? As I said I’ve got it so it just sticks at 5k, but I’ve read elsewhere it should bounce between 5k & 10k.
I'm sure it's probably been covered here already but I'm planning on fitting a couple of spotlights to compliment my current headlights (boxeye with twin modification).
What's the easiest way to wire these in.
I'm happy to have them permanently on with the headlights or should I use an independent switch for them?
went into Fowlers in Bristol today...biggest bike shop ive ever been in in my life! 1000 new bikes on three floors and another honda specific showroom next door. Fell in love with the lightest helmet I've ever tried (carbon fibre premier trophy nx vintage full face...stunning looking retro too)
Had a look at the cb1000r VNA has mentiond in another thread and as he says, photos don't do it justice...it is indeed absolutely stunning in the flesh. They've somehow built a bike with retro café culture cool thats also ultra modern looking and looks proper built. Think the black version edged it for me, but I could never own one, the missus used to moan about the FZ1 seat... :lol :lol :lol :lol
seriously pukka looking bike though (and I bloody hate the look of most new bikes). If honda are doing deals, thats gonna be a popular bike for 2019
