There's probably been a number of posts regarding TPS but a search in the Fuel Forum didn't return any results so I’m posting a request for information on the TPS for a 41 FCR on my 05 550.
I found that one of the three wires to the TPS broke in two. I removed the TPS to replace it and found out it was $150.00. After this bit of info I went to the tool cabinet and retrieved the soldering iron for a less expensive fix.
Two questions come up.
1. What purpose does the TPS serve? I rode my bike without it and couldn't feel any adversarial traits in power. Keep in mind that I have never ridden this bike with the TPS operating so I don't have a baseline to compare to.
2. If there is a purpose and the TPS is needed how is it adjusted once installed on the carb?
Thanks for the help!
