The other day I pulled the plug on the TPS but due to rain was not able to test the results until today. I rode for about 100k up and over a pass (so different elevation and bike had to pull hard) and it was hot in the valley and cool at the summit. Pretty good test I'd say. And the Verdict? Pull the plug (disclaimer... I am not a mechanic).
Without TPS:
- the bike idled a little faster... no big deal, just adjust accordingly.
- performance was equal to before (or did it run even better...hmmm?).
- No decel pop-di-dee-pop-pop. At all! Gone. Denada. Finito!! I like that.
Thanks to all who turned me on to this simple modification.
