TPS on on 08 automatically adjusts on it's own is simple to perform. What weird things is your bike doing?

IF you do a manual TPS reset, make sure it's at operating temp.
The TPS is a potentiometer and will change the value with temperature just a bit.

That having been said, if you're experiencing idling issues, remember that the idle on these bikes is controlled by a bypass valve off to the side of the real throttle body.
It has been known to get sticky or fail in rare cases.

Yama,

I've done it cold and hot with no trouble either way, but Nate make's sense, so warm would seem to be a good target to aim for.

Xbeau,

Your post was misleading, so I reworded to clarify the issue. Thanks for chiming in. If you really thought that the TPS was self-adjusting, then that was actually mistaken.

I've always thought the TPS on 08+ bikes did self adjusted. I thought the manual reset was simply for abnormal situations.

I was having problems with my 08 and after monkeying around with TPS reset and a few other things, cleaned the battery connections, and grounds under the seat, installing star washers on everything.....

It is like a new bike now. Easy Things First!
