TPS Adjustment Step-by-Step Pictorial Guide - Page 17 - SV650.org

26-05-10, 01:08 PM

Hello everyone. I did this to my 2005 pointy today and it feels like a new bike. I was just wondering if anyone who did this adjustment a while ago has re-checked after a couple of thousand miles to see if it needs doing again?
Also when i tightened the bolt up i managed to strip the head, has anyone managed to confirm what size and thread the bolts are?

Many Thanks

I checked it on mine when I got the bike as I could hardly ride the thing slowly.
Made a massive difference

Probably the best 10 minute mod you can do to your bike (cheesbolts permitting)

Just did this on my K9 650SF... All I can say is that it worked amazing. My TPS seemed to be off more than most as it wouldn't raise the bar until about 4,000. Loosened the screw and tapped it about 1 degree counter clockwise and that put it right at 1400 on the money. I tapped it another half degree counter clockwise to avoid it moving too far when i re-tightened the screw. After all was said and done, the TPS now raises the bar right around 1450 which is great. The results were noticed immediately. Before, the bike was hell to ride in slow traffic in first. I had to use a fist full of clutch just to keep it going. After the mod, traffic is crazy easy. Thanks for posting!

I put mine a bit lower than 1450rpm. So it basically changes as soon as I touch the throttle.

This video by Suzuki confirms that this is a necessary adjustment and not a "mod". It also confirms that the 1400 rpm figure is correct and explains in slightly more detail were the line should be in relation to idle and then throttle i:e centre and top.
It's on a TL1000 but virtually identical to the guide originally posted here.
