Well it was gonna happen sooner or later!

Dropped the bloody thing, and i'm fuming!

It was a bit jerky so i asked me dad to read the throttle position sensor thread and we did it this morning, i said we should have printed the instruction out and he said he knew what he was doing, had a feeling it was wrong!!

Well it must have been coz it was more jerky and i've dropped the bloody thing! Nearly lost my head to a car and had several cars drive round me!!!!!!!!

A nice bloke stopped and helped me pick it up!

Wanna sell the flippin thing now, I well and truely give up, I'm in agony and i know after putting the throttle sensor right, i ain't gonna wanna take it out again!

Welcome to the "real biker" club.

I felt exactly the same after dropping mine into the bush in my front garden. When I was pushing it!

Exactly WTF have/was done to make it jerky? Its a feckin twin, it will be jerky!

There is a rounded thing on the bars, which by the way, looks like you struggle to reach, that actually controls the jerkiness, its called a throttle.

Sorry to hear of your off though. Never nice.

get up, dust youself down and get back on-you need miles under your belt to get your confidence up mrs-your feeling a wee bit sorry for yourself-get back on and just ride the bloody thing

Ruth you trying to hard in the wrong way, now obviously I've no idea what you and your dad did to the tps, but given what you've previously posted, the most important thing you need is experiance.

I hope you haven't hurt yourself greatly a few bumps and bruises are a small price to pay if you learn from them, with experiance the roughest of engines can be made rideable with clutch control, had you had it, you would have test rode the bike and returned home to say " no that's worse" and carried on from there, however because you're still getting comfortable with the basics, it obviouslt had more effect.

Get you Dad to put the tps right, or at least back to what it was,then LEAVE IT ALONE, in fact don't change anything else on the bike and just get used to what it is and comfortable with controlling it, that's not going to happen if you keep changing stuff .

rest up and don't take the bike out again until you're in the right mood, then just ride it, get some miles in for a few weeks at least, bit harsh perhaps, but nothing you do now to the bike is going to make as much difference as road mileage.

Hopefully this is just a p1ssed off/ "it's just happened" reaction, and once you stop hurting you feel better about it.

Cheers Mark.

Ive had to ride a TLS that had a wiring loom problem which cut the engine out for fractions of a second making the bike jerk around and a couple of times wheelie when i realy did not want it to, but covering the clutch i was able to ride the bike.

Get it sorted and get him to ride it before you do. As rictus said, pickyrself up and try again, if everyone stopped riding after the first accident there would be hardly any bikes on the road.

As my instructor said when i learnt, if you dont accept the the possability of crashing once... leave now, it will happen and it will hurt, its a fact of biking.

I can guarantee in the first place that your bike was normal until you fecked about with it, honestly reading that thread on here, there was something in my mind that said that's causing the jerkiness. But the TPS mod AFAIAA actually just stops a minor hesitationbetween 1st and 2nd.

As said, get out learn to use the clutch, get some experience and it will become normal.

Excuse me if I was perceived as rude, I however couldn't give a toss, I have read some of yuour other threads and been amazed.

I have to agree on this one.
Stop p*ssing about with your bike and just get out and ride it.
If I sound harsh, sorry but it was bound to happen.
Everyone falls of at some point, not everyone moans and butchers a bike so much or messes about with things that they dont understand before they have even taken the thing on the road.

Get over it, It happens.

Sorry to hear of your spill, its all a learning curve Im afraid, get back on and give it another go, you,ll be fine.
