throttle body cap and temp switch

[taffyflytyer]

first can anyone suggest where i get one othe the caps thats on the right hand throttle body that protects the end of the spindle and will a faulty temp switch add to poor idle /running .ive been out on very hot conditions given it a good bit of stick stuck in traffic and it does not go above the 5 bar mark ? is this normal

I've seen mine go up to 7 bars when caught in London traffic in summer. Sounded really rough. If yours doesn't sound like it's got a bag of bolts in the crankcase, don't fret.

I now use 10/50 oil, cured that. So would 20/50.

Never had mine above 5 bars. Even then, it rattled like a dalek having a wank in a dustbin.

i use 20/50 oil its not rattly its quite but its hunting as if on a cycle my theory is that the engine temp switch is not working right and sending wrong info to the bike and its running it lean and the revs drop then it injects more fuel to keep it running .anybody got and experience with engine temp switch failure

TPS set to 0.361 will cure most of the hunting problem
