High idle after riding

Is the Primary TPS up front or back by the seat? Page 171 shows it in back by the seat.
Triumph Rocket III Service Manual (Page 171 of 425)

I ordered part number 2 from Bikebandit and it is the front sensor.


Who has changed this and which one is it? I'm thinking BikeBandit has it wrong but I needed to know before I call and complain.

I have a 2009 Rocket III


Yes #2 is the primary tps and it is the one in the rear

I'm not sure I understand because the BikeBandit link has #2 (The one I purchased and the one they call Primary) next to #3 the idle speed controller which on my bike is in front. So if I purchased the one in front, I got the wrong one. Correct? Please see attached links in previous post.
 
Guys I just had a look at the bike bandit link and in it is two TPS's the one which is labeled #4 goes at the rear (nearest the rider) of the number 3 Throttle body and is the one that causes most issues and is the one most of us have replaced once or twice I am on my Third one
The one that is labeled #2 is actually the TPS for the secondary Butterfly which most of have set at 100% open so really does nothing, it is mounted near the throttle linkages and just above the Stepper motor at the front of the number 1 throttle body
I hope this clears it up for you

Thank you. That's what I thought and the bike bandit labeling is incorrect. I'm waiting until Monday afternoon to call and point out the discrepancy and see what they will do for me. I should have done this before I placed the order I just thought their drawing and labeling was correct. They just need to switch 2 and 4. #4 is PRI and #2 is SEC.
Maybe I'll have the correct part by next weekend.
 
Yea, find out why they call the one up front in the picture the primary n the one at the rear they call secondary. It's that way on Hermy's site too :thumbsdown:

I have the new TPS installed and it makes a buzzing noise when I turn the bike on. I figured it would go away after I reset it using the APP and giving it the 12 minute tune. What did I do wrong?
 
hi Steve, I have the same issue with my 08 classic. it was down right dangerous!. I cleaned every linkage and every spring; I reset all my perimeters in my map but the problem persisted.
I then decided to remove my idler stepper motor as shown in Warp 9.9 photos. I took the rubber boot off and soaked the motor in WD 40. I then pushed the "arm" in and out about a 100 times (exaggerated); replaced the rubber boot and put it back on my bike. I then reset my map tune and gave her a 12min tune. hey presto, bob's your uncle, all fixed! that was a year ago and no more problems. I think it was just gummed up with dirt and needed lubrication.
maybe this will work for you. total cost was about 1hr of time.
cheers
Indeed, that is the way to fix the problem. Following my experience there is no need for a map tune reset etc. Just put intensive lubrication with WD 40 or similar below the rubber boot.

It's a pulsing buzz
Did you do the "Adjust ISCV" which is on the tests page this sync's the TPS and the stepper motor the. Uzi get you are hearing is possibly the Stepper motor trying to correct itself.
It is very important to run the "Adjust ISCV" function after changing a TPS OR EVEN ADJUSTING IT

I don't see this on the App. I did rest the TPS adaptation and now the sound is gone but my idle speed is at 3500 RPMs. Brought my laptop in and asked my IT team to review and get it talking to the cable again. It worked earlier this summer and I can still link to the bike through Bluetooth. Took the cable apart and checked all connections. The cable is good. It has to be between the software and the USB port. After I get this back I will look into the ISVC
