Throttle Position Sensor TPS Part Number

Just seeing this , thanks for posting such a thorough illustration. Even though the problem is tentatively solved. It looks as this sub harness can be readily accessed and cleaned as a preventative measure.
That's great
True Dat.
My tp code returned after 175 miles or so. So I reread this whole thread and did the following.
1. Found the mid (sub) harness connector. Thank you! Cleaned and lubed it with dielectric. Did Not reattach to frame clip, instead strapped it to main harness thereby avoiding constant vibration from the frame.
2. Tie strapped the tp connector to the tp even though it snapped into position well enough.
Hopefully like you I'll be able to report back after a while that the trouble is gone. So far so good. (40 miles)
Just read up and figured I'd try to keep information fresh, I had bought one of the car tps for a honda accord until I saw the change in directions from this forum. Canceled the order and kept looking, found one under a different part number
16402-RAA-A01 JT6H 16402-RAC-A01 JT6HB Remanufactured Throttle Position Sensor TPS
Looked on amazon and that seemed to be the right dimensions and size, hoping for the best, if not the OEM part is like 126 on partzilla , this one was 12
Should be here in like three days so no long-term shipping
First, thank you everyone for this wealth of info!
I'm a new owner of this NT700V and its a great bike, but I get a MIL 8 flash at different temps and hours of riding. Shall I just replace the TPS with a new one?
After reviewing as many threads as possible... I'm confused on proper replacement part and supplier.

NO! Go to the very start of the Ignition chapter in the NT700 service manual and read the bullet points Honda put in there. This one being the most crucial: A faulty ignition system is often related to poor connections. Check those connections before proceeding
Honda's PGM-Fi is very robust. I have more miles than most across numerous fuel injected Honda's many of which most riders would consider high to extremely high mileage. Most have been years older than the NT. I have NEVER had to replace a throttle position sensor on any of them. Any hiccup a bike has ever had has been due to a poor electrical connection.
As for the 8 flash MIL and the TPS, see my very first post here (#131).

Hi Clement, I have had MIL 8 issues for over 2 years. My story is well documented in this thread. I replaced the TPS sensor, the MAP sensor, the battery, and the voltage regulator, and even tried different gas because others have had success with one or more of those attempts in the past. I do...

My post here has images detailing the connector positions to clean. (#140)

That Mid Connecter was the likely cause of my MAP Sensor Code 1 intermittent failure years ago... I suspect. I don't think it was fully clicked together. IIRC none of the troubleshooting procedures ever check the connector for sensor failures... just checks the sensor or the ECM and overlooks the Mid Connector. The TPS, MAP, CMP and Fuel Injectors go thru that connector.
I have a spare throttle body with a TPS from a ex-member that had it left over from selling his NT. It was replace because it was giving him intermittent Code 8 TPS failure. Being interrmitent, it's pretty hard to prove it's bad... it reads the same as my original throttle body's TPS. I been handing on to it in case I ever get the dreaded code 8's.

All connectors are blanket called out before you get to any procedure. I keep coming back to the bullet points at the beginning of the Ignition chapter but people have a tendency to gloss right over "A faulty ignition system is often related to poor connections. Check those connections before proceeding" and go right to playing with parts. When I have any electrical sensor type issues my first step is to go straight for the wiring schematic, identify wire colors and connectors.
Too be clear for anyone reading "mid-connector" = 'throttle body subharness connector". It's the connection that joins the throttle body wiring harness with the bike's main harness.
I don't have the NT anymore, but something I remember seeing when I took that connector apart but don't think I ever mentioned was the connector pins. I seem to recall seeing copperish colored pins on one connector while the mating connector used silver colored pins. I wonder if we're looking at a dissimilar metals situation and a bit of Galvanic corrosion.

I wouldn't waste any thought or time on that. It's incredibly unlikely your TPS is bad. My NT was under 10K on the odometer when I bought it and the 8 mil flash started within the first two weeks of ownership. After pulling apart and cleaning associated connectors I put another 45,000 miles on it with the 8 mil flash never happening again.
