I don't know what's happening but here's my report: I took off the TPS and put the LC cover on the carb, didn't unplug the wires, ran like it had Swine Flu - no power, no acceleration, just weak and sick. So as I was replacing the TPS I noticed that the mounting holes were actually SLOTS, so I twisted the plug as far counterclockwise as possible before tightening the screws and VOILA! - suddenly I had a tiger in my tank, better starting, much quicker throttle response, smoother idle and slow start rolling in 1st gear, and my pipes sound more like a real motorcycle! Acceleration and power appear to be increased also, so I think I'm going to stop fiddling for awhile at this point and enjoy the few riding days I have left before the dreaded "S" word sets in.
