  1. All,

    I was back home in DC this weekend, trying to help a friend with his 1997 TL-S 1000. The original motor was blown, and it was swapped out for that of a 2001 TL1000R. It was running just fine, however now it will NOT idle, and I also think that the TPS is off.

    Essentially, the engine will turn, and as long as you're on the gas it will stay alive. But go more than 5 sec. without throttle, and it will shut down.

    Regarding the TPS, it sometimes revs higher than it should based on the amount of throttle being applied.

    Plugs were changed, air filter cleaned, all sensors and hoses (that were noticed) were tightly connected.

    It has a PCIII, however it seemed to run better (less backfiring) with it disconnected... It still backfires some as well.

    Does anyone know of anything that we may have possibly overlooked to get this thing back on the road? Due to a host of other things, it's been out of commission for a little over a year now.

    Thanks

  2. BK missed the mark on this one by giving the sandwich an "unorderable" title. Imagine someone (esp. a grown man) going in and saying (to an acne-stricken 16 yr old boy): "Yeah, can I get your Super Seven Incher?... And lemme get that joint with extra mayonnaise."

  3. $1200 tires?

    I honestly think (regardless of brand or size) that whenever the stealership tells you that you need tires, they start @ $1100 and gradually work their way up. I was just quoted $1500 for tires. I ever-so politely told them to fcuk off. I assume that Zorro did the same.

  4. I don't buy that.. and I never ask a cop for any information regarding the law. Unfortunately' date=' they are typically less than informed about such things.[/quote']

    IP, this must be your creedo! I'm nearly 100% POSITIVE that somewhere in another thread, you posted this message almost VERBATIM.:D

  5. YAYYYY its ME FTMFW!!:trophy:What do I get???

    Isn't "y'all" really 2 words smooshed together, though?

    You win the opportunity to wash/polish MY bike!!! yay.

    And you are correct, "y'all" is 2 words smooshed together, as all contractions are. However when you decided to type "y'all" instead of you all... You forfeited the right to claim 2 words in the wordcount.:D
