I may have a problem with the ECM , not sure though. when i tried to start the bike, 1125R 2008, it would back fire, that happened a few times, when it finally started it would run rough and there was no throttle response, it would just idle but sounded rough. any ideas

Loose battery terminals.

Corrosion in the fuse/relay box.

Check all ground for tightness.

Are you killing engine with kill switch, then ignition switch? Leave kill switch in open position until ready to start engine again.

Soldered terminals coming loose off the back of the ignition switch? Something similar happened to me, though not exactly the same (idle only; no throttle response) and replacing the ignition switch cured it.
Good luck.

No. It does not lose data.

I don't have the manual in front of me, but I remember a section on cleaning the spark plugs..something like doing a tps 3x but only opening the throttle up once instead of 3 full turns..
Get your manual out or someone can step in and tell you the proper procedure.

If fouled plugs are suspected

Roll on and hold throttle wide open

Turn on ignition

Wait 3 seconds

Release throttle

Turn off ignition

Two-seasons, how does the kill switch position make a difference? No argument, just asking for info.

I'm not speaking for two-seasons.
On the 2008 models, the instrument cluster drains the battery, unless you turn the kill switch to off position or cluster has been changed out.
In the manual states a rough or poor running bike can be caused by nearly discharged battery.
Two seasons may be going somewhere else with his thoughts tho.
