I'm not 100% sure about hornets but even on my honda XR..you get a throttle position sensor. aka. TPS.

From what i understand, it's just to tell the ECU to control the spark timing/duration etc.

Nowadays quite a few bikes are having fuel injection... these don't have carbs but have a miniature version of a vehicle injection system.

This says its about a heater in the carb, which i dont believe!

I agree with Ripper here.

It's called as the throttle position sensor (TPS) used to monitor the butterfly spindle/throttle valve's position on your carb or throttle body (It's integrated with your engine control module) to response how much the air gets in, to keep the engine running in idle without getting stalled and helps in cold start
