I've had no TPS problems with my bike since I got it 2.5 years ago, but had an issue last night.
Going to the gym from work, going down a dual carriageway, I was overtaking a car, and as I changed up a gear the bike made a bit of a clonk, as though the engine had stalled or the chain slipped a tooth. I carried on, and when I pulled up to the roundabout the bike died. I started it no problem and turned into the gym. At this point it felt awfully lumpy and a bit lacking in power, and when stopped I noticed it was idling around 700rpm.
I went into the diagnostic menu and checked the TPS, initially it reported 0, but then after turning the handle it went back to it's normal range of 16-101, and I've not seen it at less than 16 since, and it's been idling back around 1300 since.
Is my TPS on the way out, could it just be a momentary problem? The bike is a 2005 FZ6, I don't know if it had the recall done, but I have heard they can still fail after they've been replaced. The bike might have been a little cool as I'd only been riding for around 5 minutes. Weather conditions were clear but a little cold (~4C).
Not sure what else it could be. Only other electrical problems I've had have been the rear lights and indicators not working a couple of times when the bike gets very wet.
