I just bought a used 1999 KX250 and noticed today that the TPS connector going from the carb is disconnected. Does anyone know if it will cause problems riding with the TPS disconnected?
I had one of the wires break at the connector, and the bike developed a bog under moderate-hard acceleration. I'd say it's similar to the bog 4-strokes are famous for. It certainly wasn't unrideable, but came up now and then. As far as it damaging the bike, I don't know, but would doubt it.
