Yes @gstallons , this is an old cat diagnostic lead not ideal but serviceable.
With the tps in my hand but connected the minimum reading is 204 mv .
With very slight pressure using a screwdriver in the slot it will get down to around 150 mv.
Hi , Thanks for all of the responses and information provided.
I’m using a modified caterpillar test lead (pictured )which is not ideal and may have contributed to my confusion.
After testing the old TPS using the info above it is definitely faulty and doesn’t have the range as described.
The new TPS has the full range to 5v but the lowest reading is around 200 mv whilst mounted. ( ie the slotted holes run out of adjustment. I can get 157 mv with very slight pressure once the screws are removed. ) I might try to elongate the screw holes slightly to achieve 157 mv.
I will have more time over the weekend to work on the bike
Thanks for your responses.
I had the idle screw backed out and the link arm disconnected. RH throttle completely closed , key on and engine kill switch on .
I am not getting anything above 2 to 4 mv .
This is a new tps which is getting the same readings as the original. 🤔
Appreciate any further thoughts.
Hello
Hoping to get some ideas / expert knowledge from the v11 brains trust.
MY 2000 RM started missing , running very roughly and blowing excessive black smoke ( both cylinders ) recently. I nursed it home and I’m trying to sort it out as the local shops aren’t very keen on working on an old guzzi.
After changing the plugs and fuel filter I tested the air temp and engine temp sensors which were fine. I decided I’d work my way through the “decent tune up” which is excellent by the way.
My problem is when setting the tps I am only getting between 2 and 4 mv at my multi meter. I have tried 2 decent multimeters with the same result.
Has anybody had this experience ?
I thought I would ask the question in case I am missing something simple.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Regards Tony
Thanks for that footloose , just the KTM and the v11 , the others were bikes that caught my eye around town.
A lot of serious knowledge in this group, I look forward to checking in from time to time !
Thanks for the heads up boys , however apparently I don't have the correct device so my partner has suggested this method.

Hi all, number 221 resides in Mildura Australia , recently purchased from Perth . I can't seem to attach a photo atm. It's saying my photo is too many MBs . Any advice would be appreciated.🙂
