If you're gonna do a quick TPS check, a word of warning, if the needle goes to 10,000rpm do not switch off the key.
If this happens then start the engine first, then switch off.
Otherwise the needle just drops clockwise through gravity to the wrong side of the 0mph pin.
It's not a major, but it is fairing screen off and clocks apart to put it right again, so basically it's just unnecessary time consuming.
I had a TPS that was slowly breaking down recently and it causes the bike to feel a bit jittery and unsettled.
A used one will set you back around £40.
The TPS has to be positioned correctly before and after you do a carb balance by the way, so if the TPS is knackered then don't bother until it's been replaced.
