TPS Adjustment

[old son]

I have changed my clocks to the electronic set up provided by Danny a couple of years ago.

I have tried to message him but his inbox is full so I doubt he is still on the forum.

I would like to check my TPS but realise I don't have the rev counter and probably cant use the electronic one. Does anybody know if the electronic unit would work and if, as I suspect, it won't, how else can I check without refitting my old clocks.

Thanks

Since you've junked the OEM gauge cluster, only way forward is a multi-meter.
Try this way, it works for just about all TPS setups.
Ignitor will revert to a full throttle ignition timing if TPS is not set correctly, or it's unplugged, it'll still run regardless but not at optimum.
Access TPS loom plug, back probe with pins, connect a multi-meter set to DC volts, you'll not blow anything, switch connections around till you see DCV showing on meter, warm bike up till you've a steady idle, adjust idle to 1100-1200rpm, loosen TPS screws & rotate till you see a 0.5v reference @ idle, nip up 1 screw & blip throttle a few times to confirm voltage drops back to 0.5v @ idle, nip up 2nd screw, check for any change in voltage.?

@Gaz66 Thank you for providing the above instructions. I haven't actually junked the cluster, they are in my spares pile somewhere. As a last resort I could hunt through and fit them but the job would take hours. Your method seems just as accurate but will take a lot less time.

We are due for thunderstorms this weekend but as soon as its dry I'll do what you say above and report back, just in case somebody else has the same issue.

Have you tried it, since the TPS is attached to the ignitor and it is the the ignitor that sends the signal to the tach0 then it probably would work on the new instruments if the Tacho works
