Title: K-TRIC carb sensor
Post by: rob f on March 06, 2020, 08:42:14 AM
Anyone know anything about the K-tric throttle sensor on the vn 800 carbs. I read something about an adjustment that can be done to advance the timing?

don't do it. Finding fuel that won't ping is already a problem in some places.

I've not heard the term "K-TRIC" before - where does that come from and what does it mean?

I can tell you the resistance values, but I'm not sure that would help you.

TPS test and adjustment procedures are in Section 15 of the service manual.

found this:  Kawasaki Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC) throttle-position sensor
Just a fancy name for TPS i guess. Looks like it's used on  kawi sport bikes but i think a version of it is on the Drifter but not on the vn800 classics. Hence the vehicle specific carb only on the drifter. I do have a manual and should have checked it, but easier to ask here if anyone has played with this before.
Probably should leave well enough alone as Troll has warned.
