Do you owm a DVOM and are familiar with how to use it ? The tps is a simple potentiometer . 3 terminals . one is v ref , one is gnd and one is signal return . With the ignition OFF , probe two of the tps wires and check for resistance . If you get a reading , rotate the throttle from idle to full throttle . If there is no change , move one of the leads to the other terminal and repeat . There should be a change in resistance . This reading will be smooth with no glitches . If this checks out , the TPS is good . If you need to Google potentiometer for a good understanding I thought I posted this this morning but my router wasn't working correctly

Do you know how to test the TPS on / off the bike ?

Before you replace a component , TEST it .

It would not be the first regret I had to live with. Considering this means fighting a lot ton of Seattle traffic it's going to be a lot sitting on a freeway. I'm glad I did go to Raber's (vintage British parts place) when I got the Greenie because they also recently closed. Considering Dave won't be at MI I'm still questioning the value of stopping by. It'll be 8 hours of freeway riding (and traffic) or I could go ride somewhere fun. Doing the right thing is never the easy thing ! It never has been .

You can go and regret it or not go and regret it . You know what needs to be done

I hope it is a wrong choice of words

There are some valuable / important members on this site & you're one of them .

That is terrible news . I've bought from them and they are great people !

That looks like a steal !

As in " #^&%# @%)(b +:>,,

If this is accessable , check these connectors again in two weeks to sww if they are snug and look good .

I thought they had "white" lightnin' in Tenn ?

Is the LED or regular bulb in the charge light display?

What year is it & what all have you done to it ?

Fed , have you gotten anywhere on your problem ?

Did you reinstall the original bulb in the charge lamp socket ? If not , try this and see what happens .

My 2003ish V11 has 2 wires from the alt. to reg. One wire from the reg. to the charge lamp. One wire from the reg. to the F3 fuse & to the battery . One wire to the Rr. stop lamp switch . Check the quality of the wiring & connections .

Do you have a wiring diagram & can you read/understand it well ? Have you inspected the fuse & relay connectors for overheating ? I know I'm reaching on this one , do you own a I/R camera to check for hotspots or bad connections ? There are flowcharts to check the wiring or components before you go trying part$ . BTW , a 25a fuse isn't going to bring the world to an end . This wiring should have been assembled w/ circuit breakers & better relays and relays carrying the loads instead of switches . The bean counters ALWAYS win .

Eric Burdon described the guitar destruction at Monterey of Townsend and Hendrix ..... " one was a vioilent rape & the other was an erotic sacrifice " .

And I've been listening to "Live at Leeds" going back & forth to work this week . I remember Pete describing The Who in an interview as a group w/a lead singer , lead guitar , lead bass & a lead drummer !

I have an assortment of fasteners I bought from eBay a few years ago . I will look in the a.m. to see if I have it .

Is this a factory paint job ( WOW ) or aftermarket ?

S!!t . Harpers shows the part # .....

Can you post pics looking straight into the cups ? What condition is the cross ? The darker portion of the break is the first crack and the beginning of the failure .

Docc , if you were able to reach & maintain the torque value I would rule this out .
