The gentleman who posted the thread about the TPS body wearing over time was dead on.
Shift the sucker to the right a little bit and it runs just like in days of old.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting that as I never would have guessed that in a million years.
Getting that bottom screw started takes a little patience and some deft work with a screwdriver, doesn't it?

The TPS rotation or whatever it's called helped my bike but ultimately, I had to replace my TPS. The rotation definitely helped the throttle response.

The bike ran perfectly all day today for the first time in maybe 15,000 miles.
No popping, no surging, no weird idle change, no hanging revs, just perfect.
A little blob of dielectric grease, move it until it puts some pressure on the metal tit and it's good to go.
Thanks again!

Anyone know if this tip applies to the 2008 and later TPS as well? I hope so as it would explain some idle issues.

I think I answered my own question after taking it off. The 2008 doesn't seem to have any adjustment for a "mechanical zero". I read 23 or 24 on ECM spy after rezeroing.
