TPS adjustment
It does work better to at least lift the tank up high enough to move to the left. It took me a good hour for my adjustment. My problem was in loosening up the screws as the location was hard to get to.

TPS adjustment
TPS adjustment update.....or should I say "lack of adjustment."
vulcanE (Cliff) and I attempted to adjust the TPS Sat night. Worked for over an hour just trying to get to the inter screw with no luck. Could not get a good, solid hold on it. So many have done this, there has to be a way. To those of you that have done this mod, what's the secret?

I taped the torx bit into a 1/4 " socket and another in a 1/4 " box wrench to get mine loose. Then sooner or later you'll find a way. I know it took a few different trys and I don't remember which way finally done the trick.

I used a tiny micro ratchet wrench that slipped over the end of the #20 torx security bit and it worked. It wasn't fun. I'd think a flex wrench with the torx tip might work better but I don't have one!! that inside bit is a biotch....

I used a long torx bit and a box end wrench trick...but, was still a biotch...big hands/little space.

TPS adjustment
see, i didn't want to mess with hte factory settings, so i tried everything possible to get rid of the dammn pinging, i finally decided to try an aftermarket fuel module, i ordered a cobra FI2000R and it took me less then an hour to instal, the sweetest thing, i startde with the default settings, after a couple of test runs, my bike runs fantastic, like a new bike, it sure makes a BIG difference in smoothness, no pinging while riding in 101 degrees, the nice thing is that, if you sell the bike, you just unplug the cobra (if you wanna keep it) and the factory settings are intact. it really works great. BTW my bike is a 2003 nomad

Don't loosen it too much, keeping it snug.. You only have to turn it .001" to make a huge difference.

I used a swivel socket to get the right angle. Mine was off some from what is listed in the manual. Also did the FI2000 unit. Did not like it as it richened my fuel too much and gas mileage sucked.
