Warning! Stop the engine when refueling or servicing the fuel system. Do not smoke or allow open flame or sparks near gasoline. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
See Figure 4-20 or Figure 4-21. The TPS is located on the side of the induction module. The TPS monitors the physical position of the throttle shaft. See the electrical diagnostic manual.

4. Remove two screws (5). Detach TPS (3) from induction module (1).
Installation: XL models
FASTENER | TORQUE VALUE | |
TPS screw: XL Models | 35 in·lbs | 4.0 Nm |
Notes:
- Throttle must be closed to install the TPS.
- See Figure 4-22. Note orientation of TPS (3) relative to induction module (1) body. The connector socket is at approximately the 7 o'clock position, facing toward intake manifold (2).
1. See Figure 4-23. Fit pocket (3) of TPS (2) over throttle shaft (4). Orient TPS correctly and line up mounting holes in sensor with holes in body of induction module (1).

2. Make sure TPS body is flush against mounting boss on induction module body. Install two screws (5) to fasten sensor to induction module. Tighten screws to 35 in·lbs (4.0 Nm).
3. Open and close throttle plates and check for proper operation. Be sure mechanism operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
4. Connect TPS harness socket connector [88B] to sensor pin connector [88A].
5. Install air cleaner assembly. See 4.3 AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY.
6. Install main fuse.
7. Close left side cover.
8. Start motorcycle. Check throttle operation and idle speed.
9. Check for leaks at the quick connect fitting and at the induction module.
Removal: XR1200X
Warning! To prevent spray of fuel, purge system of high-pressure fuel before supply line is disconnected. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
Warning! Gasoline can drain from quick-connect fitting when removing fuel line. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately and dispose of rags in a suitable manner.
1. Purge the fuel supply hose of high pressure gasoline. Disconnect fuel supply hose from fuel pump module. See 4.5 FUEL TANK: XR 1200X.
Warning! To prevent accidental vehicle start-up, which could cause death or serious injury, remove main fuse before proceeding.
2. Remove main fuse.
3. Remove fuel tank and air box. See 4.5 FUEL TANK: XR 1200X and 4.3 AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY, XR 1200X.
4. See Figure 4-24. Remove induction module from vehicle. See 4.9 INDUCTION MODULE: XR 1200X.

5. Remove two screws (4) and detach TPS (2) from induction module (1).
Installation: XR 1200X
FASTENER | TORQUE VALUE | |
TPS screw: XR 1200X | 29 in·lbs | 3.3 Nm |
Notes:
- Throttle must be closed for installation of throttle position sensor.
- See Figure 4-24. Note installed orientation of TPS (2) relative to induction module (1) body. The connector socket is at approximately the 5:00 o'clock position.
1. See Figure 4-25. Place sensor over throttle shaft with the connector housing (1) facing toward the mounting flange (2).

2. Rotate the TPS counterclockwise into position as shown in Figure 4-24.
3. Make sure TPS body is flush against mounting boss on induction module body. Install two screws (4). Tighten to 29 in·lbs (3.3 Nm).
4. Open and close throttle plate. Be sure mechanism operates smoothly without binding or sticking.
5. Install induction module. See 4.9 INDUCTION MODULE: XR 1200X.
6. Install air box assembly and fuel tank. See 4.3 AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY, XR 1200X and 4.5 FUEL TANK: XR 1200X.
Warning! To prevent spray of fuel, be sure quick-connect fittings are properly mated. Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive, which could result in death or serious injury.
7. Connect fuel hose to fuel pump module. Fill fuel tank and carefully check for leaks around fuel hose fitting. See 4.5 FUEL TANK: XR 1200X.
8. Install main fuse.
9. Turn ignition switch on. Check for leaks at the quick connect fitting and at the induction module.
10. Start motorcycle. Check throttle operation and idle speed.
