My X1 is starting to surge a bit at low rpms+low throttle settings. This is the type of thing that a TPS resetting would clear up. I would have to reset the tps settings if I replaced the TPS. You folks think I should buy a new TPS and then have it reset, or do you think I should keep the 64000 mile one? P.S. If they cost $900 I will be keeping my old one!! | ||

I would say that the TPS can and will wear out eventually just like any other electro-mechanical device. I'd look for one off a totalled bike. As long as its in good shape with no indication of wear it should be ok. I would also say you can check the resistance on them as well. | ||

They're just potentiometers, right? | ||

its 150 bucks for an updated throttle body and TPS get one | ||

Why would I want to replace the whole throttle body? | ||

OG throttle bodies snapped throttle shafts (say THAT 5 times fast!) now and again -- not alla time, but not uncommon either | ||

It fixed itself when I got gas! I got a bad tank I guess. Just for the record, I got gas in Dudley MA, by Nichols. | ||

Nate: the tps IS a pot and is available as a "part" i want to remember its less than 100$ (40-50$) when did you last replace the inlet seals? yeah bad gas will make em run like shiznitz | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
It would seem as though the seal would go fist I guess. Since I work in an instrumentation lab and tweak potentiometers all day, I went there first. All I could think of was every tiny movement in the throttle... well you know. I'll try the WD40 on the intake trick sometime. | ||

Nate, if i can find that throttle body, i will send it to you, and you can see why you should get a new one... Chase |
