Kevin,
As my Daddy used to say, "If it ain't broke.......
Thanks for re-posting my earlier message.

Subject: Re: Too much Caffeine, no more surging
Jeff Bowman posted this a few days ago. I'm going to go through the
procedure tonight just to see where mine is set. Mine really has no surge
to speak of, but I want to see what it's set to.

The TPS needs to be adjusted at the TPS and not at the ECU.
Now, regarding the TPS. The manual indicates that the TPS resistance
should measure between .39k and .59K ohms when the throttle is closed. The
manual shows exactly which terminals to check the resistance across. To
access the TPS, remove the center glove box/compartment and the right side
cowling. The TPS is attached to the right side of the throttle body
assembly. Two 3mm allens hold it in place. Unplug the connector. (I
found
that moving the pressure sensor up and out of the way allows easier access
to get the multi-meter leads in place.) Check the resistance in the
throttle-closed position at the furthest right terminal (#4 position for
reference) and the #2 terminal. It should measure within the acceptable
range. Now, adjust the TPS until the resistance measures .39k ohms and
determine how it runs. If it runs poorly or makes the running condition
worst then adjust the TPS to the high end of the range. It may take a
couple of iteration to find the proper setting for your bike. I do not
believe that .59k ohms will be the proper setting for all GTSs but the
proper resistance should be somewhere within the range of adjustability.
I hope this helps.

Is it possible for someone on the list who has solved the surging problem
to
provide a description as to how to check and adjust the TPS. The last
procedure to lube the A arm bearings was extremely helpful. Thanks,
