Yeah, I have a tach and I have raised my idle to 1600 rpm (!) and the symptoms still persist.
I just got back from an experiment though. I disconnected my throttle position sensor and went for a ride. Throttle response wasn't as smooth as before but guess what... the bike didn't die. I rode around - stop and go - for almost an hour and it did not die once.
As I understand it, the TPS controls ignition timing - something about resistance. How does it work? Would a faulty TPS be able to explain my symptoms? I have my doubts because when I got home, before turning the bike off I started fiddling with the sensor, turning it and stuff, and it made my idle jump around a bit but didn't kill the bike.
I also read in another post that one of the wires connected to the bottom of the carbs is related to the TPS somehow - can someone verify or explain this?
