TPS Reset for a 2012 696+

Good morning,

I hope everyone is keeping well in these odd times.

I dare say we are all doing the same thing at the moment and getting our bikes out to run for 15 mins every now and again to keep them ticking over and doing all those jobs we’ve been putting off.

Now my 696 has has a bit of a problem since I bought it last year. When giving her some revs (more when in N) she sounds quite ropey....a bit ‘spluttery’ and sometimes even dies after a handful. I don’t really notice it much when out riding unless I’m downshifting and blip the throttle (I know I don’t need to). It feels to me like a fuelling issue and possibly an issue with the TPS? I wonder whether the previous owner had termis on her and took them off to sell and maybe put the old ECU back in?

The bikes only done 5300 miles and is a 2012.

Any advice would be greatly received.

Thanks in advance,

Yan

I might be wrong but I thought the ECU in those bikes (696/796/1100) will TPS reset itself if left a certain amount of time. So many bars on temp gauge without moving the throttle?

I'm sure if you search the forum there will be some info.

Great advice thank you. I must admit that I’m pretty bad at searching the forum as I completely missed that thread. I’ll give it a go today but the 200-300 miles will have to wait

Might also be worth scrolling through the screens whilst it's running to see what the volts are. From memory it should be around 14 but you should really look this up for an accurate figure. The reason I mention it is that my 696 had a rough running problem that turned out to be the regulator rectifier.

Thanks for this. The volts seem to be fine. The idle reset seems to have done something. Just a shame I can’t get out riding and let the ECU optimise itself.

Everyone else seems to be ignoring the 'lockdown rules' the last few days but if I did then I would get a £60 fine, I'm sure.
