So I have had a few issues with throttle response and very poor running (coughing, stumbling, delayed acceleration) this summer and have reset the throttle position sensor a few times. Each time the reset has worked. This current time though, it does not seem to work at all. The bike continues to run really bad. I have not replaced the spark plugs yet and will do so but if I remember from past repairs, that never seems to do anything to help. Has anyone replaced the actual throttle position sensor with success to remedy the poor running condition? | ||

Over time the TPS develops wear in it. You can take it off, rotate it a bit clockwise (I believe it is) to preload it and then tighten the mounting screws back up. I'm pretty sure it's clockwise, it's been a year or two since I had to do mine. | ||

I might need to take her into a shop unfortunately. I changed the spark plugs and now I get the engine light on. When I read the trouble codes it indicated at first a rear oxygen sensor issue and then after that cleared a air temperature sensor issue. As usual I probably did something to break the poor Buell further when I was trying to change the plugs. | ||

Well, found out my trouble code. Forgot to plug in the air intake sensor on the air box. Still won't run, but at least I got that squared away. I think I am going to replace the TPS and see what that does. Might be time to fix her up and get rid of it. I am getting tired of electrical demons coming out every summer. |
