Unfortunately, the TPS sensor, on almost all the bikes doesn't come as a separate part, it does comes integrated with the throttle body assembly. In case of failure of any of these sensors, it would warrant a complete part replacement. What I would suggest you do is hunt for a used throttle body from a scrapyard nearby if luck favors you, you can get it for a fraction of the cost, but again, a lot depends on whats and ifs. Secondly, you shouldn't have fiddled with the torx screws of the sensor body. Fiddling with those screws won't mean a thing. All you would perhaps do is loosen and tighten the sensor body, and perhaps that's why the folks at the RE showroom have mentioned, the probe position has changed, bad luck perhaps.

Perhaps you can try your luck by cleaning the throttle position sensor, and see if it helps solve the issue. A faulty 02 sensor too would result in the same problems you've faced, stuttering, inconsistent idling, hesitant throttle response and stalls. Do get your 02 sensor checked, strongly recommend this.

Good luck.

Hi, I am posting after a long time. I had trouble logging into xbhp some time ago. But I needed a help now. So just trying my luck here!

Simply put, my Himalayan tps sensor failed!

Bike has done 25k kms. It got serviced at the RE svc for only the first two free services. After that I have been taking care of it. And it was running fine without any issues or failure of parts all these days.

But recently for the last 1000kms, it had rough idling. And suddenly one day, it struggled on the road with abnormal throttling. At home, i checked the tps sensor voltage and it gave me erratic readings. No matter how I adjusted the torx screw, the readings were not stable and heavily fluctuated and the bike failed to start at one point. When I disconnected the tps sensor, it started again with erratic idling and I took the bike to RE SVC.

They said they checked everything and diagnosed it and the error in ecu points only to the throttle body. Also confirmed it was the faulty tps. Since the tps sensor doesn't come as a standalone part, the whole throttle body needs to be changed and it costs around 11000 rupees.

And since I haven't serviced the bike at RE SVC for the last 20k kms, I couldn't claim a warranty. They also pointed out to me that the tps probe position was changed when I gave the bike to them. So it's very difficult to claim a warranty. I haven't even adjusted the tps sensor in 25k kms of the bike except this time. And it's very disappointing for me to not able to claim a warranty!

The manager at SVC said he ordered the throttle body and we are waiting for the part to arrive for the past one week. He said he will check if he can do anything within his capacity. The bike is still in SVC for the last 10 days.

Any advice from the forum members would be much appreciated! 🙏🏽 Thanks!

Well.This! Exactly as it is in this picture

Bhaaji looks like its Hasta la vista for your bike ?

Also Safeena has had a d-cat .Post the d-cat the exhaust pipe is not heating much and the exhaust note has slightly more authority

My Safeena closing on to the 21000km mark in 27 months of ownership-all systems reporting to work.

With 20000kms complete,the front fork oil -455ml per tube- was changed - front brake pads replaced- frame head T-stem opened and drilled from both sides and fitted with grease nipples to facilitate lubing of the T -stem lower bearing.

the ASC guys damaged my oil radiator too with improper washing with the pressure washer- got on their back and had it replaced .

Hey guys, my bike is 10200 kms in, Feb 2021 bought. Wanted to share a rather shocking fact here, or so i felt. So on the most recent trip over the plains, where I remember a total of 594 kms, the bike only drank a total of 13.94 litres of petrol. That meant a fuel economy of 42.5 with speeds of 60-70 km/hr mostly. Minimal luggage, but I with m weigh 90 kg excluding riding gears. Does it sound like I'm insulting your intelligence here or have others too achieved this good fuel economy?
Please don't say the Himalayan isn't meant to be ridden so slow and such... anyway even after riding 130 kms on reserve, I managed to fill only 11.30 litres of fuel. Do you really think the fuel tank holds 15 litres of fuel? I doubt it. Hope I'm wrong though..

Hello Everyone.

After going through this thread and lots of reading and videos, I got my Himalayan this June.

It has been great so far.

There was a long planned trip we did in September. So, before that I tried to do as much break-in as possible. I did the first service at 400kms. I did about 800kms on the odo before the trip. I did these 800kms following the instruction manual and other advice on break-in. Even during the first 200kms of the trip, I did not exceed 60kmph.

After the odo crossed 1000kms, I went upto 80kmph for short stretches and went back to varied throttle between 50-70kmph and breaks in between. On this day, after the ride, I noticed some oil leak on the right hand side of the engine from a small rubber with the letter 'R' near the oil filler cap. For the rest of the trip, due to seeing this leak and bad roads, I never really crossed 80kmph, except for some small stretches.

Now, the odo reading is 2000+kms. The bike is all cleaned up post the trip and there was no oil leak during normal city riding. Yesterday, I rode about 4-5kms at 80kmph and returned home to find some oil leaking again from that rubber.

I am not able to figure out if this an oil leak or some kind of safety value pushing some excess oil during high pressure. I am not really able to find information on this rubber with the letter R. There must be a purpose for this.

Would appreciate someone educating me on this.

Hi guys, I was considering the crash guards from auto engina, it seems better then the other 3rd party ones. It has sliders, but I don't think the sliders will come in contact with the ground when the bike falls though. Maybe I'm wrong, could someone check it out and let me know?
