Get a bike with a tps cover. Never had a prob without one but bung one on.

Pete · Devon's Best

I have done 45,000 miles on my bike without any TPS problems, and yes it does have a cover on it.

Ricky · Sportsman

What bike do you ride Pete?

Pete · Devon's Best

The TPS is on a CB400SFVR, ridden in all weathers and never missed a beat, but I ride a CRM250 off tarmac.

I am taking DRZ over to DM's next week to help mark out as he has to give up his garage in the next week or so

I know on the 2011> Ktm they had a few probs until they put a cover on it. But the cover costs 3.34£ for jd so don't think it will be a prob. Fi is the way forward. So smooth

I should of specified trail/motorcross bikes are what im on about.

I herd that as well Ricky. Does a little cover really stop the problem?
I've seen the posts from ktm saying how to try an seal them an doing a few other things to keep them running.
So ktm know they have a problem, seems a bit amature to not seal the things themselves (they are meant for mud and wet conditions)

But if that really does sort it I wouldn't have a problem buying one

for a 4t id never go back to a carb. dont worry about tps. i know of a 2012 250 xcf up for grabs soon. best lane and enduro bike out there bar none

Nige · Expert

Why are people going on about carb TPS's that funtion is nothing like an injection TPS?

Gasgas23 · Clubman B

Your not selling it because of the tps issues are you Ricky? :P

I'm on my second Husaberg FE390, 97 hours, not had any TPS probems at all. But did have some recent problems of cough stalling, cutting out etc, turned out to be a dirty injector, had that out and cleaned, replaced all the fuel filters plus installed an additional filter that KTM now supply as an update and she runs like new now.
