It will not idle with new tire!!!

Question to OP when did you last change your fuel filter in side the tank My bike started acting up couple of weeks ago and I checked everything electrical twice as I could have sworn it was an electrical problem,..... to cut a long story short The Triumph fuel filter is meant to be changed every 20,000km mine had done 40,000km it had allowed a very fine silt like dust to get thru and line all the fuel lines and fuel rail with this crap it then had partially blocked the injectors resulting in a stumbling idle and running rough if you crack the throttle quickly but ran fine if you took it easy, just a thought if it does not turn out to be a TPS issue, Also My 08 STD has a black inners TPS, I was under the impression it was only the earlier ones, I now have a blue one sitting on the shelf just in case it goes bad :roll:
 
Oh and big thanks to Ruzzle :RockOn: who steered me towards a local Auto Repair shop that had a Ultrasonic Injector Cleaning and Testing machine when I was about to order new injectors :roll:
 
Fixed my ride!!! I would like to thank everyone for their help on this tire problem. ( I guess it could have been) I unplugged the primary TPS and applied dielectric grease sparingly to the three terminals, plugged the TPS back into the harness and reassembled the bike. It started and fast idled for a few seconds then idled about 850rpm. What the hay!!!! I let it complete the 12 minute tune then shut down. There is nothing like a good supper while your bike cools! I then went for a test run......shazammmmm! She runs like new! As grandpa would say: " Study your lesson boy! ". A TPS has to get the signal to the computer or it does no good! Thanks again for all the help. I will return the favor one day.
