My '99 Vstar 1100 has started to run rough at lower RPMs. Sounds as though
it's dropping spark every once in a while. I replaced the plugs, but the
problem is still there. When I get up past 3,000 RPM, the problem seems to
go away. Has anyone had problems like this? Thanks.

a. Disconnect the throttle position sensor coupler.

b. Connect the pocket tester (W  1k) to the

throttle position sensor.

Tester positive lead  blue 1

Tester negative lead  black 2

c. Check the throttle position sensor resistance

"R1".

Out of specification  Replace the throttle

position sensor.

d. Connect the pocket tester (W  1k) to the

throttle position sensor.

Tester negative lead  black 2

e. While slowly opening the throttle, check that

the throttle position sensor resistance "R2" is

within the specified range.

Out of specification  Replace the throttle

position sensor.

Throttle position sensor

resistance "R2"

0.56 0.84 kW to 3.01

4.51 kW at 20C (68F)
