[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1235517, member: 3828"] TPSes of almost all fuel injected bikes can fail, and when they do they usually have the same type of symptoms. THe sensors are not made by the parent company, so many of the companies use the same units on multiple models of bike. I had the symptoms on my '04 Suzuki Vstrom, and replacing the TPS fixed it. The FJRs were recalled was because the failure rate of the 04-05 bikes was inordinately higher than normal and someone lodged a complaint and got the attention of some regulatory agency. Apparently that didn't happen at Suzuki. The TPS'es are not all that expensive ([SIZE=12px]3P6-85885-00-00 ~ [/SIZE]$130) if you can install it (and adjust it properly) yourself. [/QUOTE]
