It can't be that serious, right?

Hey Scot, I really don't know what became of Dave (Pianoman). Once he sold his bike to the dude in Iowa (or Nebraska), he kinda disappeared from site. I think I may have chatted with him a time or two on the fone after that, but then, "POOF".

What about Flip? I see he hasn't been on the site for quite a while. Is he still selling goods for bikes?

Far as I know Flip is still selling his goodies a few captains were getting a wee bit concerned for him as no one had heard from him in a while but people still order from him so must still be breathing.
I remember when Dave(pianoman) sold that beautiful bike then the guy stripped it that broke quite a few hearts back in the day.

OK, not having to deal with issues on the Rocket for quite some time, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the lingo of components. The TPS must also have another name. I'm looking at page 18.26 of the service manual and not finding any component referred to as that (TPS).

I see item 14 is called the Idle Speed Control Actuator & items 17 & 18 are Throttle Potentiometers, but I'm not seeing anything else that catches my eye as a Throttle Position Sensor (I guess that is what TPS means).

Input to educate this poor lad please. I miss my riding time.

OH, WAIT! Found the item mentioned on page 11.3 / 11.66.

Read on young man, read on.
