California 1400 hanging throttle

I did several of the ( earlier ) suggestions that were posted here to no avail. In the meantime I bought Todds fueling upgrade kit that comes with a reflash tool to which I was able to reset the Throttle positioning sensor ( TPS) and that was the end of it.
Thanks for this feedback. I haven't really found any specicifc answers to this issue as it doesn't seem common. I will pass this on to the MG Mechanic and ask he looks into reflashing. Thanks again.

Russ, have you had a word with Mario at Thunderbikes in Perth, he is one of the best Guzzi guru's in Oz, he may be able to throw some light on it.
 
Thanks John, Yeah, I speak with Mario off and on and called him about the hanging throttle issue. He recommended that I reset the ECU and potentially have the TPS reviewed. I have it booked in for next week in the hope some technical magic may correct the issue. I am located in Cairns and there really isn't a qualified provider that I can have a map installed, and it is beyond my skill set. I will speak with the mechanic next week and ask if he can look at loading any maps in future. I also have a V85 that I would like to modify, but am not keen unless someone assesses its performance after any changes- Maybe another call to Mario may point me in the right direction.
 

 

Stuff Todd is selling has worked absolutely perfect in my bikes!

Thanks for this, I am hoping I should have a fix next week, but may need to take it further if I have no luck- Sounds like Todd's solution improves the bike performance as well. I have heard nothing but positive commentary on his work.
