Default Re: TPS Adjustment Step-by-Step Pictorial Guide

This is probably a really dumb question and i probably should try it first before asking but...
My speado isn't functioning properly and giving me dodgy readouts as somewhere along the line its faulty.
Would this effect me doing this though or should it still function ok as i don't think the problem is in the clock?
Hope that makes sense

Should not make any difference. Most speedo problems on SV come from dodgy rotor.

My first post ever here, lets make it worth it hehe

TPS sensor adjustment on a SV650s 2007 (slightly different than the 2k3 in this tutorial):



If you move the sensor too much like 5mm, the engine will have trouble finding back its idle speed. Turn off the bike, restart and continue adjustment.

The bike runs so much better now!!! V-Twin FTW!

I did this yesterday to my naked K5 and it was alot easier than I thought it would be
The hardest part was finding a place that had the security torx bit! Halfords and B&Q near me didnt have them! Ended up going to a good old local department store which funnily enough had them in their tools section!

@ Charles P.

Other than the sensor being mounted the other way 'round, (which makes no practical difference, it still works identically), on the bikes I have worked on, (older, younger and similar in age to your own), this process is identical, no? If yours is not then perhaps you could explain what's different
I note you are in Canada, perhaps there is some difference twixt our and your market's bikes.

aahhh but mr squid both sensors look identical and there is only 1 bolt as opposed to the two shown in the original guide. which was much confusion when they changed them to the newer ones hence the need for the discussion about it earlier on in the thread (think its about the middle). its nice to see someone has taken time out to actually take a photo for future reference for the 'not so spanner minded' lot amongst us.

Bibio is right. I couldn't find the exact sensor in the original guide so after looking at the tread and finding nothing clear, I started the mod on the wrong sensor. I eventually figured it out after a few minutes of "hey it's not working, should turn it more". Took the picture to help future apprentice mechanics like me

There is only one screw indeed and as a French Canadian, I confirm it's French cheese

Talking Re: TPS Adjustment Step-by-Step Pictorial Guide

I know it's been a few months since anyone responded to this thread, but I just had an interesting experience with this mod. I own a 2007 SV650 like the one pictured a few posts above, with the single-screw-mounted TPS. Since I don't own a set of security torx bits yet, but I had some time on my hands, I decided to do a walk-through of the mod so I would feel more comfortable with it when I had the right tool for the job. I placed the wire into the diagnostic plug as demonstrated and began trying to find the fuel-dump point indicated by the dash moving upward. It did not happen at 1450 RPM, as was predicted. I eased the throttle on some more until I reached 3000 where the OP wagered it would happen, yet still the dash did not move. So, up I went, past 3500, past 4000... then bang!!!!!! The dash did not move upward until I reached 4500 RPM!!!! Until this time I had been experiencing the same hideous lack of fine throttle control since I bought the bike back in November. I loved the bike and wanted to keep it so I was lucky to stumble across this thread while searching for a clue. Ok here's the weird and interesting part. Since I did that yesterday and simply put the bike back together without actually having performed the adjustment, THE BIKE HAS BEEN PERFORMING BEAUTIFULLY!!! The jerky low-speed throttle response is gone! All I did was insert the jumper wire and rev the bike 'til the dash moved on the display and then put it back together. It is so awesome to finally be able to just ease onto the throttle when coming out of a corner and smoothly accelerate. I can ease on and off the throttle the way it was meant to be and not look like some novice on his first bike (cuz I'm not one). I was so tired of having to feather the clutch to compensate for this irritation. I can't explain why the problem resolved, I'm just thrilled that it did! Just thought I'd share. Ride On......
