Raptor 700 TPS Throttle Position Sensor Test, Replace, Install and Calibrate

Raptor 700 TPS Throttle Position Sensor Test, Replace, Install and Calibrate. Will it run now? Is it finally fixed?

[@mrgrouchyguy]

Someone mentioned the tps to me before how they can cause some grief but had no idea how to diagnose it till i watched this video, nicely put together. Guy should have np figuring this out with vids like this thank gawd for y-tube sometimes.

[@trailblogger]

mrgrouchyguy appreciate the comment. The service manual also has some tests for verifying the resistance of the 3 tps pins but it was clear to me after the voltage test we had a problem

[@khonky]

My TPS was reading 76 and was having issues with it breaking up when I would hammer back on it after shifting. Your video was awesome for walking me though how to adjust and solve my issue.

[@trailblogger]

I'm glad it helped that's awesome!

[@junkyardhemi]

Glad you got it fixed. I’ll stick with my carbureted 2 strokes. Never have problems like that.

[@trailblogger]

true, love the old school bikes, less to go wrong. I actually just learned my YFZ450 actually has a TPS as well that controls the timing map.

[@junkyardhemi]

I'm an ASE master mechanic. Deal with this stuff on cars every day. I don't want my toys to have those kind of issues. Besides, I love the smell of a 2 stroke, and, that smell!!!!!!

[@MichaelSabo]

OMG did this video give me the itch to ride. Thank you for the tutorial on the TPS; I will be checking mine tonight, I bet we have the same issue.

[@trailblogger]

Could be, but I would start simple first. I would start with just a fresh spark plug and fresh fuel. Check the compression and spark ( make sure top end is not blown she has a steady blue spark ). Completely drain ALL the old rotten fuel outta that tank. Do you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key on? Should hear it run for about 15 seconds while it builds fuel pressure when you first turn the key on. Also the service manual has another test for checking the resistance on the TPS when it's off the quad. I would check that as well before you buy a new one.

Hey man my raptor had this problem but the problem was oil was covering the spark plug so i changed the oil and added a little less this time and it started to work as good as new.

[@alvaropacheco2963]

Thank you so much for this video and insight I really appreciate your work

[@MrBquarto]

Great video! I have a "Stock" 2007 raptor 700R SE that simply will not idle good. Refurbished the top end... New valves and springs (my intake valves were bent). Lapped the new valves... Set to .10mm intake and .18mm exhaust. Since then I have bought a bunch of new parts, fuel pump, injector, coil, oil, Chevron 91 octane without ethanol, coolant, fan, almost everything... but I Cannot get this baby to idle without popping, revving up and down and dying. I have a new throttle position sensor ordered from a yamaha parts shop for a crazy $301. It should arrive this week. I wondered if I set the TPS to .68 with engine running or not. This helped me because your quad was not running at the time of your test. Thank you! I'm going to remove mine now and do your screw driver turn test. I hope it is the TPS or I am totally baffled on what to do next other than take it to a yamaha repair shop.

[@trailblogger]

Get the service manual PDF, it has the proper procedure to calibrate yours.

Thank you. I have a hardcopy coming but meanwhile I downloaded the pdf version. This should really help me

[@Kaelan514]

Does the key have to be turned on when you test the TPS and turn it to check with the multimeter? My 06 won't idle and cuts out. So I'm gonna check the TPS, but unfortunately it doesn't have a battery.

[@tayallen7986]

I think this is my problems I was riding my raptor yesterday and it just shut off not locked up or anything valves set still just turns over does the same thing yours does

[@trailblogger]

try a fresh spark plug first and check for loose connections. see if it's getting spark. start simple.

[@tayallen7986]

TrailBlogger ive done it all fresh gas fresh spark plug check gas line ran through the harness spark plug is getting fire only I havent done is taken the head off to see if any valves are stuck

[@trailblogger]

compression test it, see if she is still building pressure

[@tayallen7986]

That seem to be the problem honestly but I dont have ome of those guages yet

I put off getting one forever now I use it all the time to rule out top end issues. that and a low pressure leak down tester gauges.

[@bansheefever750cc8]

It's Alive! T.P.S. sensor? I would've never Guessed it. This is what I enjoy about you tube, The wealth of information available that we can share. Great vid & info. My Dogs give the same look when I'm unpacking something, lol. I see those Bear claws on that 700 & like that look. I'm still on the fence on the Gbc xc master or the Bear claws or the new bear claw Evo that's suppose to be geared for sport riding & lighter rotating mass.

[@trailblogger]

WHAT WHAT WHAT? Bear Claw Evo you say? Hmmmm this I must go see

[@bansheefever750cc8]

TrailBlogger Ha,Ha! Dude, you really stand behind those Bad boy Bear claws. Yes I did a search on the Kenda Bear claws and I was just clicking random reviews of them and low & behold there was a review that showed the original Kenda bear claw, a new bear claw Evo that was Desighned for performance & lighter weight.it looks pretty Kool also. then they showed the Bear claw r series radial. I know you recommended them to me before for there awsome grip in all conditions. I was hesitant because they seemed more so geared for utility use & I wasn't sure how the handling would be along with or if they would allow me to slide the back end around turns without catching & flipping me over, lol. but they seem to be able to withstand the heavy abuse you put them through and you have nothing but positive things to say about them. Your enthusiasm about those Bear claw evos has got me really thinking now.. It would between those & the Gbc like the ones on your mean, green machine.

[@trailblogger]

you are right the 22" bear claws are more of a heavy tire that gives extreme traction but they can be clumsy cornering compared to a square nob like the GBC XC masters. I have always wanted to run a 20" bear claw but I did not think they offered that size in the past.

[@bansheefever750cc8]

TrailBlogger choices ,choices. That might be where the Bear claw Evo might come into play & split that difference. We need to find some real world reviews. Tires are a major expense for a family guy like me. So that's why I'm trying to get as much info on the topic. But there's not really much info out there on the new Evo yet. I've seen so many modded banshees get spanked by big bore utilities on short Dirt/mixed drag races because knobbies don't hook as well as a deep lug heavy carcass utility tire and they spin all the way down the track, by the time they hook, the race is over. I want that good hookup off the line but would like the ability to slide the back end around long sweepers at a good clip. The other prob with the traditional bear claws is rotating mass.

[@trailblogger]

agree the kendas are bulky. mega traction but at a cost. that's why I ended up putting the pair we had on the raptor 700. it has no problem turning all that mass with all that low end torque. they 450 had trouble turning them and I would NOT recommend them for a track bike where you actually want to break the tread free and blow up corners. it's more of a trail tire designed to climb just about anything you point it at, mud, rocks snow. the only thing I had which fit that ticket better was the ITP Spider Tracs which are not longer in production. I might have to try the bear claw evo out in a 20 if they make them.

[@drakerussell3908]

will this make it foul lug often bc sometimes i go to start mines in morning it crank u fine then shut off and i go back to crank it it backfire and just spend and when i put ne plug in cranks up

Hi I have a raptor 700 2006y...today I decided to clean the TPS sensor by wiping some residue off ...before taking it out I tested the voltage and it was around 0.67 and full throttle 4.12 When installing and setting ...the reading now shows 0.67 after adjusting it although the full throttle is now on 5.3 .....any ideas what changed or went wrong

[@trailblogger]

From what I learned when the TPS was going out in my Raptor (which has an '06 throttle body on it) The early TPS are prone to leaking and you may have water or condensation inside which could be causing it to go off even after perfectly adjusted. In my case I replaced the entire TPS. Good luck, I hope you get it figured out. Let me know if that helps.
