Another question....I went to the automotive store in town and specifically told him I was needing to clean a TPS for a motorcycle....I had picked up a can of electric cleaner and he told me that it would harm the sensor and to use something else.....he hands me Throttle Body and Air Intake Cleaner.....Would like some input before I possibly go cost myself a new TPS!!!!
The main point (or at least what i found) is throttle body cleaner isn't plastic safe and since the TPS is only a couple of contacts housed in plastic...bad idea. It'd probably won't be good for the seal either if you got a little on that.
Ill just take it back.....i didnt see any contact cleaner though.....and I live in a small town.....oh well...did you just pick it up at a NAPA or Autozone?
Actually i'm going to pick some up today and i'm hope Schucks (aka O'Reilly) has it. Says they do. I can't find anything on AutoZone so you may want to try Napa, they might have it. I know our small town Napa store has just about everything and if they don't they can by the next day. Hope that helps!
thx for this information. After cleaning the TPS I have still a little idle variation. The worst problem was the variation in idle and the motor goes off time to time while riding. Yesterday after a run from 300 km everything looks still fine. Coils already replaced but this was no solution. Hopely this was the cause of the problem. In diagnostic mode the TPS sensor looks good and the value was 15-16 Now I have regulate this sensor to 17 as begin value. Is this a better situation? Wait and see! Is the mixture ot not so poor? The only thing what is not standard is the Exhaust,That's a Boss.
