sooting plug up

[antony]

my plug keeps sooting up as anyone expierienced this i think the bike is running very rich which then leads me to believe that it could be the throttle position sensor would i be right in thinking this as i do believe a bike shop has messed with this and cant find the problem

and how does the bike ride?

A little more detail on the bike in question could be handy. If it was only one plug (usually the front), and if you had a curvy 99-02 bike I'd suspect a sticking choke cable or plunger. If you have an 03+ bike, however, there's no manual choke so the diagnosis would be different.

Jambo.

Since you mention the TPS, I presume it's got evil EFI on it.

Reset the TPS. Why are you letting a bike shop mess around with it anyway? :-P

yeah its a 05 model someone came to me for advice after they sent it into the bike shop it looks like the bike shop twisted the tps towards the rear where the one on mine is just passed the center i know that not all would be the same but just thought that the bike shop pushed it too far back he says it is sooting up bothplugs
