erratic idle

and Owl, which of those will cause no codes to be thrown?

Barzeen - now you're trying to confuse me with someone who understands Tuneboy.

It's taken me 3 years just to learn how to load tunes

Since I leave all my mechanical thinking to the likes of warp9.9, I have to go with demonic possession.

Go straight to church and climb the steps on your knees while bemoaning your past sins against the motorcycle gods.

And stay away from the splitpea soup.

I tried placing my hand on the headlights and yelling " devil be gone!" ..... results inconclusive.....

That trick only works for the pure of faith, barzeen. Obvoiusly you also need to head straight to a house of worship to confess your sins. And if you choose self-flagellation, be sure to limit that option to your back or you'll have to confess to a whole other list of sins.

" forgive me father for I am sinning........ right....... now........"




so seriously, I agree that this sounds like a TPS issue, but before I go throwing money at it I figured I'd ask around since I would think that a faulty TPS would throw a code ???

Classic TPS symptoms..IMO. get em to change it & see what happens.

+1 My symptoms were almost identical; dealer replaced the TPS and all was good. There were no errors posted due to the TPS being defective. BTW, TPS was covered by Triumph even though the bike was well out of warranty - a trip to the dealer is probably in order.

Yeah TPS doesn't throw any error code, it often behaves like a dodgy solder joint, ok one day & all over the place the next.
Once the TPS is done, check that your start up idle is normal. Mine would fire up to 2.5k revs( way too high) before settling like 10-15 secs later & then do the same thing again if I shut off & restarted it.
The cure was to run the ISCV program ( Tuneboy not tuneedit) in sensors ( for which I thank Warp for the prompt )
Basically hit the button & follow the prompts on the screen. takes like 20 seconds to do.
