Does anyone know where the tps is on a 08 xb12r. I think i finally found the problem and i need to replace that. And if anyone had a part number for it that would be awesome as well. thanks

It is just those to bolts and unhooking of the wire right? it is easy?

 

[anrkizm95]

i think the shutting off is from the TPS. I am going to replace that and see what happens.

what is the Exact problem you are having? please describe it ALL in detail of everthing that has happen and all of you have done to it to fix it and what you was doing when the problem happened and all the mods you have on it !
maybe we could help. my bet is someone else may have had the same or simialar problem , thats why we are here to help. troubleshooting the problem first , dont just remove and replace and hope that might fix it, besides that can get expensive if thats not the problems and then try something else and thats not the problem either, and doing that over and over again..

dont guess , troubleshoot it .

from your video it is hard to tell if you are giving it gas or if it just idling (if its idling only the idle is bad and may need adjusted and tps reset aferwards.) have you put gas in it lately maybe bad gas ,have touched the air intake sensor or move it any ..... the list could go on and on but those just best guesses and I like most, dont like to guess. checkout some of the troubleshooting info and flowcahrts on the manuals above and get a copy for yours to kepp handy to help you too ...


does it do it all the time or just that night ??
have you removed the airbox and air filter to see if oil is on the AIT sensor or sucking in excess oil from the PCV valves or if you have a rat living in your airbox... need more info ...

I have looked at pretty much everything...to much to list. This is just to confirm my answer. just wanted to know if they look the same. And no i am not touching the throttle.....if i was you could tell. I just wanted to know where the sensor was and if the videos look the same to everyone. This has been an on going problem since i bought the bike. And i have been working hand and hand with xoptimized to get this fix..so trust me we have tried alot. Even the local motorcycle shops were stumped for 3 weeks.

It was the throttle position sensor....just finished fixing and testing it. thanks for the help anrkizm95
