Broken Trottle Position Sensor (TPS)

[mindazzz]

Took my carbs apart yesterday, and, when removing the TPS, I must have broken it. The plastic thing that rotates depending on the throttle position is broken. What to do, what to do? Can I ride w/out it? Will it harm the fuel consumption/performance?

I never noticed a difference when I accidentally left the connector unplugged. Just noticed some weeks later that there is an extra wire hanging near the carbs. Both performance and fuel comsumption stayed pretty much the same. I'm sure if you really concentrated you'd notice a difference in performance. but I reckon a very small one.

Jup, the performance remained unchanged...

Does anyone knowwhat this sensor is supposed to do?

It's the most amazing thing!

Hey mindazz

What should I see in Lithuania as I go through to Estonia this summer on my @? Are there any good bike meetings in the last week of July or beginning of August?

Hey,
As for the meetings, there are a few:
July 28, Ukmerge (60km from Vilnius). Free Hawks MC bike meeting
August 4, Pakruojis, Wild Hawks MC bike meeting (this one is just amazing!)

As for the places to visit, there are tons of them. If you could just direct me to the regions you would like to visit, I will tell you the places

Thanks -you're quite right, I need to be more specific. Thanks for the bikefests!
