The ones i had broke down gradually rather than just stopped working.
The bike just doesn't feel right, and can give off a mild jerky feeling especially at lower revs.
If you give the throttle a bit of welly you won't notice it so much, but in traffic it's very noticeable.
Having a clean air filter, a carb balance and a TPS in good nick in the correct position can improve the general running of the bike massively.
If you ever do feel that you have a dodgy TPS just buy a brand new one, don't bother with a used one, 'cos it'll likely be a minimum 13 years old and about to fail anyway.
Not experienced anything like that which is nice.
Probably only done 70mile on the bike but at low RPM the bike is smooth, in 6th gear at 2.5.3k rpm i was doing around 25/30mph and the throttle response was brisk considering how low in the RPM i was.
I will post up shortly results of the carb tune and a before and after video!
But like i have already mentioned, i am very impressed already with the response of the throttle considering the cracked carb inlets (although obviously not completely spilt)

They can't be cracked all the way through otherwise it would be running like a tractor. Maybe worth filling the cracks with some silicone for now.
Dunno what you've got now, but a K&N air filter makes the throttle even more responsive.

Nope, i agree. Can't be cracked other wise revs would be 'fluffy' and idle all over the place.
For now, i will probably go down the route of just covering them, i've got soem petrol / heat resistance silicone at home too!
Me neither, not a clue on what it has. I looked at prices for a K&N and tbh, it didn't justify the extra £30 odd so will probably replace for standard
This bike is a replacement for my ZX6R G1, so it's got nothing on acceleration or top end!
