TPS Adjustment Step-by-Step Pictorial Guide

Dead battery, thank god. Leaving until the weekend now.

After charging the battery it started fine. Drove a few miles and the bike has died. Could I have done damage as all I did originally was to note the settings when doing this the other night. Awaiting recovery.

Ha ha just put the radio on my phone , the song playing What have I done to deserve it.

Ok recovery guy said battery is not receiving a charge. Can only think I have cocked it up, say the wires did short, or I put in wrong holes, What would have I done? Please help.

blown a fuse? left a wire disconnected? Loose battery connection?

Thanks for reply but. No fuse good, no wire left out as none disconnected. Battery tight. All I did was put wire/tool in and checked readings. Now will not charge????

First of all thank you for this tutorial.

Secondly i have come here to share my super duper "home made" tool for those cheese bolts.

I had bought those security torx for my car a couple of years ago and if you can find something similar it makes this process rather easy.

Look at the pictures and you will understand that you use the "L" shape "thing" as a leaver to rotate the torx making things a lot easier since you dont have a lot of room to work. I hope this helps someone in the future.

Question:
Should I RE-do the adjustment after changing spark-plugs? Bike has almost 20k miles and I figured ill do the spark plugs as I'm not sure the previous owner did.

The adjustment won't be affected by a change of plugs. Doesn't do any harm to check of course.

Hey guys, new to my 650 and thought I'd try to smooth it out a little, got the security bolts off the TPS without cheesing them too badly - but when it came to adjusting it, the dash display shows "_c00" at idle and any attempt to bring it up to reading "-c00" causes the bike to cut out and refuse to start again. As suggested in some of the guides I tried increasing the idle speed a little and going from there but in order to stop the bike cutting out instantly the idle has to sit between 1500-1700 which is obviously not ideal.

I managed to restore the setting it was at before and it's running as it was before I touched it but can anyone shed some light
