Nowww , is this Spacely Space Sprockets, Inc. or Cogswell's Cogs ?
-
Hmmm. I have read it to be "w/the throttle plate closed" .
More input please ?
-
You will be doing more than TPS adjustment. Throttle plate FULLY closed setting (on both assemblies , synchronizing these two throttle bodies then setting TPS to 157 mV at the throttle plates FULLY closed . After that is done , do not worry what happens w/the voltage. V at closed throttle and V at idle speed are not the same.

With the first bike there is no electronics , hydraulics , mechanical or pneumatics degrees or aircraft maintenance background necessary. Just live in The Truman Show for a while , then bust out !

For a first bike , get a Japanese bike . It is safe , no maintenance and no troubles . What you get is a "safe" bike. After you have it for a while then go to a more personal bike with character or a personality .

Pete , only you know what you need to do ! Don't think you are the only 67yr old on this site , you're not. I don't want to learn anymore but I can not stand "not knowing" and I know you and everyone else on this site feels the same. That is one of the traits of a MG owner.
As satchel Paige said " Don't look back , somethin' might be gainin' on you" and "Work like you don't need the money".

Of course it will.
We are at a possible crossroads of EVs & ICEs in the transportation industry. There can be natural gas , hydrogen power , etc. also. I don't want it to be mandated where you only get two choices or worse , one choice .
An EV would be cool to have but I don't think I would want one as a primary vehicle.

Back to the topic , cars, drivers were running over motorcyclists long before EVs and self driving novelties . The cell phone has done more harm than good on the road. Numb drivers don't help a thing .

IF I were going to use any system like this , it would be a secondary and not a primary device . I am old enough to understand , I am the responsible party , not a program or feature .

I heard that name a looong time ago !

NO ONE thinks of the fact : after the fuel filter . I was working on a Jeep Wagoneer , 360 V8 w/a factory Motorcraft 4BBL carb. It was constantly flooding from rust getting under the needle/seat. I replaced the fuel filter so often I could do it "goin' down the road". After about 3 mos. of this nonsense , I found the metal fuel line from the filter to carb was rusted inside causing ALL the trouble.
Some things are never forgotten !

I could NEVER figure out why one of my riding partners would ride next to the edge of the road and he could ride a 2x4 for 150 miles . I started following his habit to stay away from traffic . If I am in the left lane I don't want anyone on my righthand side. There have never been more factors to consider than there are now

Tesla (for everyone's understanding) should send an e-mail to every Tesla owner stating that "this is NOT a robotic self thinking vehicle and the driver is fully responsible at all times" and make sure it is acknowledged. One life is not worth the stupidity of others.

Here's a tip, anything made of rubber buy as spares when you can and treat them with preservative and a clip lock bag and store them away out of the light. Rubber parts are a PITA to replicate or find an alternative to. I have my stash.

I haven't heard that term in a LOOOONG time !

Loving the black & whites
That prison performance earlier was powerful
In the year 2525… are we there yet?
The video is from Metropolis . A very powerful movie itself. you need to watch. 1984 came by and was never addressed. IDK if 2525 is gonna be much different

Whew , I really don't know where this EV stuff is going ? And the idea you are going 100% EV ? I am not sure about this.
