tps to non tps

[Gpz1100_Convert]

Mate has a teapot. Has 1998 teapot loom and bike but carbs from a 1995 teapot 600 with no tps fittings. Now he wants to know if the carbs will be fine with tps loom setup.

Does the tps connector need to have a link wire installed or will it just run fine. I did think fine seeing as mine is done this way but I am less sure seeing as I haven't got a manual for one?

I wouldn't be that confident. I don't know exactly what it does on teapot or bandit but once I measured how it affects on ignition timing on SV650. It added quite much advance at low throttle openings, over 10 degrees at some rpms if I recall correctly. Of course it's yet another question what happens if you leave it unplugged. It may read one or another end (throttle open or closed), it may drift randomly between those or it may even go to some fail safe mode. However, I wouldn't like to risk. 45 deg. advance instead of 35 at full throttle can cause some real trouble.

The safe option would be faking full throttle situation. Either leave the tps connected and glue it to full throttle position. Or add a jumper wire between the signal wire and 5V wire.

I had 40mm carbs on my bandit for 5 yesra, no tps on them, didnt fo fek all.

Yes, very much possible it will never cause any trouble. But if the ignition box at some point starts thinking that it has the TPS in closed throttle position it can cause serious damage. That can happen for example if there is water and dirt in the unplugged connector. So personally I wouldn't like to take a risk.
