tail section rebuild, side ground points , clean threads and flats, we see much problems due to bad grounds..
tail section rebuild, and left side ground points
X1 troubles, stutttters low throttle input , intake seals are good... tps sensor ? logging the voltage signal gives a little rimpels. but as the voltage input is also not very stable , little to tell from this..
X1 troubles ,ok lets try a tps sensor , not to much work , remove the intake / airfilter
X1 troubles ,breather bolts off
X1 troubles ,support bracket off, and unscrewing the sensor bolts
X1 troubles , a little wiggleing you need to leave the rear screw in , and take it out with the sensor
X1 troubles ,steady hand and put the new tps sensor on, and tighten the screws ( check the throttle when you have put the sensor on, so you know the notch is in the correct position )
X1 troubles ,line out the support bracket , and some plummers loctite on the breather bolts to stop theme sweating
X1 troubles , bal end allen keys come in very handy
X1 troubles , checking re setting the tps
X1 troubles , for good measures checking the grounds, as they can come undone test ride, frown-emoticon did not changed allot... mnnn needs more investigation
