My 2002 748R hase develped a problem ,it runs fine on idle for ages revs up fine when stationary when i get on it to ride it from about 3000rpm it runs like a sick pig, intermiant firing and just not right at all,but its ok on full throttle .i've changed the fuel filter but i've a feeling it could be the TPS, how can i check the TPS or does anyone else have any suggestions as to what it could be . Thanks.

You need to get it to someone with a computer to analyse it mate for TPS issues... either MotoRapido or Louigimoto are my recommendations and close enough.

If you can bimble to Oulton with me next weekend i'll arrange Louigi to have a peek (please Rich )

Thanks for that Weeksy, but I've just booked it in to MotoRapido next Saturday they're well busy but they're gonna squeeze it in so I'm gonna have to leave it there for a week or so.

Well...what was the problem...not the tps I guess ?

[wato39]

It was the pressure sensor , it is the black box that sits on the header tank . Just like to give the chaps at "Moto Rapido " a mention they are stacked out with work till the end of August but they still mamaged to sort it out for me in a week .
