I'd have no issue with a TL1000S, but I'm also a fat cunt well over 15 stone so would have no problem with the rear shock.

Bet he was a whippet and not a fat knacker.

Update on this. Extensive testing yesterday proved 160-170miles before reserve now, about what it should be. Much better than the 120-130miles I was lucky to get recently.Hooli wrote: ↑Sun Aug 02, 2020 10:10 pm As per the non-grumpy post in the grumpy thead I seem to have solved the thirsty problem with my 14, I did a guesswork adjustment of the secondary throttle sensor, it's only worked & the thing is as responsive as I'd forgot it should be and doing the right MPG again.
To expand on that, it's got a second set of throttle butterflies that are controlled by the ECU. They open gradually from idle to about 3.4-5k, they are to keep the gas flow speeds up in the intake so it's smoother at low revs. The ECU uses a stepper motor to adjust them & has a position sensor to know where they are. The sensor was set correctly but I knew when I'd first touched it years ago (to cure another fault with idle speeds) it was set to a higher resistance. So I 'turned it up' a bit, meaning the ECU thinks the secondaries are open slightly less than it did before. Now it's opening them a bit more & the bike is running a lot freer, I guess it was rich as they were choking it slightly.
I couldn't adjust it too much as it's the same sensor & stepper motor that does the fast idle when cold. Fully shut on the throttles & back a bit more pushes the fast idle cam. So if this sensor is too far out compared to where the throttle sensor is when the bike is cold it throws up another error code.
