I must be the only person that didn't notice any massive difference even though I brought it down from nearly 4k revs.

Just did this to mine. Such a huge difference. This seems to have stopped the bike stalling when shifting from 6th to first gear. So much smoother at low rpm

Thanks for the guide !

Gotta confess I neglected to perform that particular test

Biggest thing I noticed was when gearing down there is less chance of someone running into the back of me as the engine braking isn't so severe.

Adjusted mine today, have a question:

What does the line at the bottom position mean? In the DIY the line starts in the middle, mine started at the bottom.

No amount of adjusting the TPS and/or idle would allow the bike to idle properly at 1300 with the line in the middle. I could get it to idle at 1300 yet it'd sound like a cylinder was misfiring.

I gave up and focused on getting a good idle, then the best I could do was the bar to jump to the middle at 2k and top at 4K.

Also while moving the TPS sometimes the RPMs would suddenly just shoot up to 6K and stay there. I'd have to kill the ignition to stop it. I'm only moving the TPS a fraction of a millimeter, not sure where I am going wrong.

Mine is a 2006 California model if that makes a difference...

change the plugs. sounds like the bike is cutting in and out on a cylinder. the line staying a the bottom is an indication that your only firing on one cylinder.

suddenly shooting up to 6k would to me say a loose connecting in the ignition system like a loose plug cap or a plug that is breaking down or a coil is on its way out.

Hello,
Does anyone know why i cant see the images?? Says update account to enable 3rd party hosting?

Photobucket stopped people sharing pics to 3rd party sites without a premium membership.

The decision has broken ebay, amazon and many other sites.

The pictures disappeared quite a while ago. Just follow the written instructions and you'll be fine. Google SV650 tps - in images there are a couple of pics of what are looking for if you don't know what it looks like.

Just be aware that depending on what year your bike is (post 2007?) you may only have a single screw securing the sensor. And if you have a later model you can ignore the references to the idle adjustment.
