  1. under $200 for both sensors ain't bad though!
  2. I think its the TPS but I'm not sure. Bike loses throttle control completely, drops to idle and I have to power cycle the whole thing to get control back. Happened 3 times a couple weeks ago. No bueno! Had a similar issue on my FZ6, but that was way back when and I'm not even sure that bike had an APS. Thanks for the link, i'll take a look. Also probably going to remove them both and clean the connections to see if that helps first. The old girl deserves some new parts but I'm not wanting to drop hundreds if I can avoid it.
  3. Hey y'all, been a while since I had to take the beast apart! I'm getting loss of throttle control while riding. Time for a new TPS I suspect. I've been searching but I am having trouble finding what I am sure is the right part. Lots of links for buying parts come up in the search. Many don't have images or associated bikes even. Google really is shite these days. Anyway, if you knw the part number for the TPS for a 2015 I would be most grateful. doc
  4. could also try a different sprocket ratio. Less off the line, more top end.
  5. In reading through your posts all I see is someone looking to argue and troll. Fairly sure we all get it. You buy something and then never change it. Glad everything you buy is perfect for you. I'm never satisfied with a bike when I buy it. I like good suspension and ergos that meet my riding style. Also luggage, crash bars, wind screens, ect. Also do the same to my trucks. Are they perfect? Hell no because I ride/drive them like I stole it. I suppose if your main concern is resale value you should put that bike in the garage and be sure to wax it every 3 months. By the time I'm done with it the farkles will be worth more than the bike.
  6. So, I started by looking at the Tenere 700 and couldn't help myself but look at the new Tracer. My FJ is just fine, so many aftermarket parts it's like a totally different bike. Well, sort of. I have a long standing hatred of the side panels and have long schemed to remove the hideous abominations against man. Was just to lazy to fab something up. Hey, at least I'm honest. But looking at those new side panels, not quite enough to get me to buy a new bike... but that swingarm might be! That was one of the many differences between the fj my fz6. If I could have a longer swingarm the fj would be perfect! Except for those damn plastic triangles. Anyone try this?
  7. Just picked up a set of the BattleAx A41 adv tires. With some cash credit I have it cost $250 shipped plus the $60 rebate it will be $190.
  8. well, me and some friends killed a bottle of scotch. That count?
  9. broken wire. I had attempted to reattach but it came loose. I can live with it
  10. again, thanks. I should be better at holding on to documentation....
  11. how do you test it? I know it turns on but will not lock the speed. Or... its trying to lock at "0" I think I read those pages last night. Nothing fits. Im really hoping its just a broken wire connection. The worst part is the 9k rpm cutoff. Hows a brother supposed to get the front wheel up like that?
  12. well, looks like no dice. I will ride it to work and see if it resets but I think Im going to be using GPS for speed on this trip... weird thing is now the TCS light is on but the ABS is not. I think I may have a break in the wires from installing the cruise control. Maybewhen I disassembled for the ignition switch replacement i broke a connection. Might try to redo that tonight. Anyone have the wiring instructions for the cruise we got through Cruisin?
  13. i did the work, no parts are missing or bent. The old part is already off. Im assuming the front still works or how would the bike know it was moving? Im hoping they call soon so I can go pick up the part!
  14. bloody brilliant. No Change when I spin the wheel. The error has not returned yet but the bike hasnt left the garage. Will install new one tomorrow
