I've been trying to find the correct plug under the seat for my '07 and can't find one with 6 holes having 2 empty. There's one with 4 holes with 2 wires leading to it, one black/white and the other solid orange. Is this the correct plug to get it in dealer mode? I can see my 2 TPS's and many thanks to whoever mentioned that the lower one is the correct one to adjust. But I can't do the adjustment because I can't turn my tach into the dealer mode. Any suggestions about how to find the correct wires to connect or about the plugs under the seat of the '07's?

I'm in the US and just joined this forum because the US SVforum has a link to the procedure and there's no info there about '07's except to say "they're different."

My email is jefftotman@aol.com

I'd really appreciate anyone who can get me pointed in the right direction as far as recognizing which wires to connect.

The 6 hole dealer mode plug on the K7 is a white plug with a black rubber cap. It is situated between the front seat and the pillion seat. If you get a torch and look down the pillion seat you should be able to see it. Jtsailjt, let me know if you still have problems locating it and I will put a pic up for you.

I found the *%$^& thing...finally! Mine is an '07 ABS bike and apparently that makes a difference too as far as the location of the plug. It's apparently the same little white 6 hole plug but it's on the right side of the bike at the junction of the front of the seat and the bottom/back of the fuel tank. It works the same and I just finished adjusting my TPS downward. It was originally set at about 2400 and I was able to lower it to about 1550 and it does seem to help a lot with the jerking at low RPM's. I appreciate the offer of the help/picture though, but apparently the ABS bikes are unique in this respect.

In case there are other ABS bike owners out there who want to do this adjustment but are tearing their hair out looking for that darn plug under the seat, the thread where I found the info was on SVRider.com in a thread entitled.......TPS mod on ABS model, different Dealer connector?!?

As it turns out, the connector is the same, just in a different location.

Hi guys. Decided to do this today so get in park bike, tank up, dealer mode, line moves at 3.5k rpm, engine off, loosen TPS bolts, start engine........ham fisted slip and engine dies, won't restart so put TPS back to my mark, and still no go. D'oh!

Increase idle speed a little and it starts but it's rough. Where should "the line" be with the ignition on, but engine off? So I try lowering the idle and putting the TPS back exactly where it was before and it won't start. My TPS was already quite a way round to the anti-clockwise extent of the adjustment if that's of any use.

'kin annoying. Anyone had this happen?

Update: Got it running smoothly again after much faffing. The line is moving at 3-4k rpm still though. Pffff it's too hot today. Time to go and lean over a probably a little too hot engine for 20 minutes yayyy.

Update 2: All is well with the world again. Tip - do not let it move more than an absolute fraction at a time, seriously, it's mega sensitive. In the end it's tightened back up and moving at 1800ish rpm. Made it hard for myself.

Just done mine today was an absolute doddle, my FI was coming on song at 4.5k rpm! moved my TPS about 2mm anti clockwise to get it down to 1.5k and then had to lower the idle a fraction and that was it sorted.

I cant believe the difference best thing i have to done to the bike in the 10month i've had her no more snatchy power mid corner its really confidence inspiring

many thanks for the step by step guide

Just a quick question, does anyone know if this is the same with the SV1000. I presume some of the components may be in different places but are the figures the same and would it be worth doing?

Just a quick note. Did the mod on mine tonight, worked like a charm, excellent guide!
Haven't tried it out yet other than to ride the bike down the drive so will try that tomorrow on the way to work and report back.

Thanks to Coombest for the well laid out, excellently illustrated and accurately described guide. Even a "not very mechanically minded" person like myself managed it without drama
