UPDATE: I think the new TPS has done the job :woot
After fitting it, i set it to 5k then twisted the throttle, and it went to 10k then back down to 5k on release, which i believe is the way things should happen.
With my old TPS yesterday when i twisted the throttle it went from 10k to 5k to 0..........not correct.
Also i could feel the difference straight away just riding out of my driveway, and after a short ride up the road the needle behaved and the bike generally felt much more at ease with itself.

NOTE: My TPS hadn't failed completely but was obviously on it's way out.
I think it's important for people to know it did affect the general riding of the bike, especially at lower speeds and revs.
I was getting a jittery/hesitation feeling, almost like i was riding with the brakes on, but at higher speeds it wasn't so noticeable.
Also for what it's worth my original TPS had 'A2' stamped on the back but the replacement one has 'A1' on the back, but it works okay.
