Whoever did that must of known of that trick from back when we started adapting the S&S carbs. The resistors are suppose to fool the ecu into believing the tps was there. Here is a pic from way back when we did these. http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz294/usafretired1997/TPS.jpg   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/09/24 23:00 By USAFretired.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #423025 mbk (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 296 Re:If you were going back to stock carb system. . . 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Spydr wrote: This is one of the Universals that I mentioned; http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RA-066V This is the model I use.

Is the oval one the one shown in Curt's sig picture above? Do these open filters have any issues when riding in the rain? Riding in the rain is not a goal of mine, but black clouds do seem to follow me around alot.

They cut the cable between the connectors and the TPS to add the resistors. I did not take the time to read the color bands, did not figure anyone would be that helpful as to know what the resistors were suppose to be that were installed. If I were go back to stock, all I have to do is unplug the modification and plug in the new TPS.

Yes, the one in Curt's pic is the other one that I spoke of. I don't have any issue riding in the rain. And I've gotten caught in some pretty good rain in the last couple of weeks. K&N does make a 'Breathable' rain cover for them, I just haven't bought one yet. Keep asking those questions Mike, until you have a clear understanding. Not getting the problem fixed because you didn't understand the solution is more frustrating than the original problem. Been there, Done that! These folks will help you get it right.   Logged     Welcome to my NightMare   The administrator has disabled public write access. #423037 USAFretired (User) Moderator Posts: 1155 Re:If you were going back to stock carb system. . . 1 Year, 8 Months ago   I forgot about one bracket if you decide to go stock carb. The idle adjustment is mounted to a bracket that is right at the base of the pushrod tubes. If you decide to buy that carb, see if they will throw that in. If not, I might still have that bracket laying around here. All based on which route you decide to go. Was nice talking to you on the phone. Hope I helped some. Edit, the chock cable is also located on the left side under the chrome cover for the stock fuel pump. You can see that chrome cover in my sig pic.   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/09/25 00:24 By USAFretired.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #423059 texasscott1 (User) Two of a kind Platinum Boarder Posts: 2494 Re:If you were going back to stock carb system. . . 1 Year, 8 Months ago   When you get the TPS hooked back up you'll probably notice an increase in performance during part throttle and cruise. With the resistors there the computer hasn't allowed the extra timing it normally would with a functioning TPS.   Logged     My 99 Standard Test Mule Scott B.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #423084 takehikes (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2709 Re:If you were going back to stock carb system. . . 1 Year, 8 Months ago   "If I were going back to stock carb system. . .

I guess I will wait until it arrives and see what all is included then probably order a carb joint and what ever else is needed. Still not committed on the change yet, but covering bases. Looks like you guys are stuck with my stupid questions for a while. sorry, Mike   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #423524 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4847 Re:If you were going back to stock carb system. . . 1 Year, 8 Months ago   mbk wrote: Well guys, right or wrong, I picked up a used factory carb assembly, airbox, and cables tonight on ebite.

Here is a pic from way back when we did these. http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz294/usafretired1997/TPS.jpg It might stop the stock ecu from causing the blinks, but it also never allows the it to go into WOT timing curve, keeps it in CT curve regardless of throttle position. Without resistors, by default the ecu goes into wot curve, but you get the blinks. If you have the dyn3k, without resistors, it to by default goes into WOT curve, but no blinking of light. I don't know enough about timing curves, but both Yamaha and Dyna use by default WOT curve and not the CT curve, there must be a reason tho to use WOT?? This resistor set-up over rides the default mode and keep it in the CT curve.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
