Throttle Sensor Position Checker TPS 57001-1003

[Citizen2015]

Hi all;

I have the same problem I hear other people have with the ZN1300...idle hard to set, bad gas mileage, etc. Seems one needs a Throttle Sensor Position Checker 57001-1003, and of course my local dealer doesn't have one, haven't seen anyone with one..

Does anyone have one of these? Do you know of anyone who does? Maybe a dealer willing to lend another dealer one, if not a home mechanic? Anyone with one to rent? Anyone who knows what is in it...looks like a simple wiper voltage reader with two LEDs, possible easy to duplicate.

I'm really tired of trying to set an idle and looking like a fool at stoplights. Any suggestions?

These bikes are great ....but getting old , tough to find dealers with the parts and service capabilities !
here is some stuff to read or call for more info.

Thanks for the links.

I may have found a TPS checker...at BikeBandit...they have it listed for $159US, which is about million dollars Canadian, but we'll see, they may come back and say they don't have it. Crossing my fingers.

In the meantime, I sprayed the hell out of the TPS with electrical contact spray, played with it a bit and set it slightly counterclockwise from original position...seems OK right now, we'll see!

Just checked...BikeBandit closed the order...not available. So much for that route. The checker has to be a simple potentiometer reader, except with dumb LEDs instead of a voltmeter reading. If only someone would know the expected voltage at 1000 rpm, it would be simple to measure and adjust.

Any old timer mechanics out there?

You can check it with a digital VOM .
here is a link to the service manual supplement for the 1300 Voyager
section 3 page 18

I think you're right...I have the manual and performed whatever tests I could before the bike was running, but there you are..expected readings. Thanks, I think you're onto something, MeAgain!
