Hi folks - R1200GSA 2012 Hexhead Air Cooled - fitted new Hella TPS and followed the recalibration routine recommended on here (battery disconnect, reconnect, ignition, 3 x twists etc...) and it isn't recalibrating TPS. Revs to holy heaven so having to switch off immediately. What am I missing (other than a few cells) ? Thanks in advance.
 
From memory and I'm open to correction you need a GS911 to recalibrate the TPS
 
Dont think i bothered to do mine when i changed it -

According to the repair CD, its self learning - nothing to do

Not trying to teach you to suck eggs

Disconnect the power plug, Undo the two allen / torx screws and pull the TPS unit off

Align the flat on the TPS unit with the flat on the throttle spindle and slide the tps toward the throttle body until it stops

(You did make sure the o ring was in the tps unit) ;) turn the tps until the holes align , refits the screws (nipped up) they're on steel bushes, so you cant overtighten

reconnect the power plug

Start engine

Thats all there is to it

Have you tried refitting the original to see what that does ? (you may be he only person i know who may have a DOA unit off the shelf)
 
there is no TPS calibration - earlier models had something not these ones

check you haven't done something silly with the cables on the quadrants - or other cable routing silliness

I reckon it's the wrong TPS. I had the same thing with a new TPS part that I thought was compatible but it wasn't. Bike just revved and had to switch off immediately.

I hope you didn't source it on my recommendation for a cheap part, I seem to remember I may have posted something on TPS:oops:

Thanks dub 24. I think you're probably right as, after failing with the throttle calibration method, I refitted the old TPS and its now revving normally again ie original calibration unchanged.

Hi Santa-2512. Yes, followed that procedure exactly. Original unit refitted works fine, new unit revs to hell and has to be switched off. New unit is a genuine Hella SS10562-12B1 which on research seemed to be the right one.
 
Its a hella part i thought , at least thats what ive fitted before ,
the one in my hand is dg it looks like, if you put the part number in to google there are loads of Compatible makes, i believe iys the same part fitted to some of the 3 series cars as well

As stated there is no TPS calibration on these bikes it is just an install job.
The potentiometer is 4.3K ohm check with a multimeter.
With a GS911 it will read 0% throttle closed and 100.01% fully open.
That fully open figure sounds strange but all the ones I have tested have come up as this.
