[QUOTE="goose, post: 187868, member: 4258"] Hey folks, I got my 03 recalled for a TPS replacement the other day. It started playing up on the way back from the GeePee at Phillip Island, y'know, cutting out at anywhere on the rev range. Pretty interesting when cranked over on a mountain road! Anyway, got it replaced and the bike sounded different. The only thing I can compare it to was when I owned a warmed over car that used to tick over 'on-cam' as it were. It also seemed to run warmer than before. These problems I could live with but she has also started to do what i would call 'pre-firing' (not sure if there is a technical description), sounds like the donk is firing before the piston gets to the top of its stroke. And it surges worse than it did before, to the point that the girl wont ride with me. I've taken the beast back to the shop but the mechanics say its all OK. I dont believe them! Has anyone had this problem after getting the TPS replaced under factory recall? I want my girl back on the bike, my back is getting cold. [/QUOTE]
