Winder TPS(Throttle Position Sensor): Please chime in everyone
After watching Cannondale's video I was curious(bored)so I decided to check out all the functions on our stock factory WINDER Gauge. I was abit taken back to find that my TPS(Throttle Position Sensor) would only max out at 79.6 degrees when I held my throttle lever WOT as shown in video below...ty4stroke.com
Have you verified your throttle bodies are opening all the way? I doubt your tps is off. Look at the linkage on your throttle bodies where cable connects and hold your throttle lever wide open. Now verify the linkage is open as far as it will go by pushing on it to see if it will open anymore. You may not be opening all the way creating your slightly low degree reading on dashThanks
it looks like it's off 10 degrees
Thanks, I've got a fall plan nowHave you verified your throttle bodies are opening all the way? I doubt your tps is off.

Yes I am aware the diagnostics TPS is degrees but the Gap data is percent...both were a little low.The gauge shows degrees that it is open.
It is not a percentage value like what the tune shows.
Did you check throttle freeplay?
Ok cool. I didn't realize this was a follow up post.
Now after taking time to look thru the it I get it.
I like to have all I can get too so my tunes can perform as designed.

From new my SW TPS has showed a relatively low number for full throttle degrees on the Diagnostic display as well as only indicating at full throttle 96-97 % on the Gap flasher live data and data logging.
I have attempted to adjust the TPS but it never eliminated the issue.
I recently replaced the TPS with a new one and the TPS now shows normal values. I don't think the sleds performance was affected in a negative way as it always ran very well with no codes...the values were only an annoyance to me.

I set the tps using the gap flasher data...I just kept tweaking it until it touched the 100% readout.Bob i need to replace my throttle position sensor.
Did you use an ohn meter to set base value or just go by readings?
