Hi guys, can you have a look at these 3 links and let me know if you think they've got TPS? Am I right in thinking any 1998 ZX6R model G or later has TPS? Also is this about the right sort of price to be paying at £60ish?

I paid £30 for my zx6r tps carbs and got trumpets and rubbers with them. £70 + postage is a total rip off!

Yup, got mine from Ebay. In fact I got 2 sets as they were so cheap. Have used one for spares when servicing the other. I also got the loom of the bike for 99p + postage so I had the correct plugs.

That was lucky, I'm not finding anything on fleabay for under £60 that isn't badly damaged. Been trying to work out alternative models that had tps and struggling a bit there. From what I've worked out a suzuki bandit would be ok as it's also a horizontal fit but the honda cbr isn't as it's more vertical, and the yamaha ones cost a small fortune

You just need to sit down with ebay and manually go through the listings each week. The ones I found were listed as carburetors, not carbs. So less people were bidding on them. I only ever got them from auctions, not Buy It Now. If you go through, you can get a complete engine for the same price as some people charge for a set of carbs!

ZX6R G1 complete engine

Just tried calling a few local bike breakers and lowest price I was quoted was £80 for the carbs and they then wanted another £20 for tps :O I'll just have to keep an eye out on ebay.. I'm guessing it's not possible or too expense to take a non-tps set of carbs and put a tps on it?

Your lambda is redundant if your not running fuel injection. So as your going onto carbs, you can fit a blank into the hole (normally M18 fine)
