TPS fault code (3000) on the Rev counter. Please help me fix it.

Hey darrsi,


Thanks for the reply, your answer is really helpful. I am a fairly experienced rider but I am new to the fzs 600. I brought this motorcycle a couple of months ago. When I brought it the odo was showing 60000km something and now I am at 65500km.


I do am having problems below 3000rpm, the engine stutters a lot and I have to use a lot of clutch, its really hard to drive it in traffic. I actually asked about that in another post here, where someone suggested balancing the carbs. I took it to a mechanic for the same and he said everything was ok with bike  :rolleyes . So I was thinking may be that's how this bike is setup from the factory.


The engine stutter in low revs was there since I brought the bike, but tps fault code has only started showing up recently, like around 100-200km before. So can these both be related or the stutter could be due to carbs out of balance issue?

The TPS has to be functioning properly before even thinking about doing a carb balance, along with having a clean air filter.
They have a habit of breaking down rather than just working then stopping completely, so it can take a while sometimes before you even sense that there is a problem as it creeps up on you.
By the sounds of it though there's a chance it's never been quite right since you've had the bike and everything you're describing points at that now being properly faulty.
You will probably find that if you decide to replace it, which I would, then it will suddenly feel like you're riding a different bike than what you've got used to.

My faulty ones never got as far as displaying the 3000rpm fault code when still plugged in, from memory one just made the needle bounce all over the place and I think the other one just wouldn't budge from 10,000rpm when I tried adjusting it. Both of those were bought used, so didn't last long either, so it only made sense to then buy new, which I should've done to start with in hindsight, but at the time I wasn't as familiar with the signs as I am now.

If you buy one then a carb balance certainly wouldn't hurt at all either to really smooth things out, but as I mentioned before make sure you have a clean or new air filter for best results before doing it.
