Author Message   Howieshotrods Posted on Monday, June 13, 2005 - 03:57 pm:        I've been having idling issues since I put the race kit in my xb12s, sometimes at start up it will idle real low (about 600) and be real erratic. Then when it gets warmed up it will run good but the idle will hang up at about 2k for a few seconds before coming back down. After I've ridden it for awhile and stop for 10-15 minutes it starts all over even when it is hot. I was down at the dealer the other day and was talking with my salesman. He said, per Buell, that the bike needs to run through a cycle in the computer...basically you need to run the bike for 5-10 minutes or you will foul out your plugs and it won't run right until you replace them. Now I understand the bike runs rich at start up until it gets warmed up, but once it gets warmed up it should not run rich at start up, at least as far as I am concerned. To me, it seems like a temp sensor of one kind or another is not working properly. Any thoughts, any help, this is starting to annoy me, they told me to bring it in and they would put one of their lot guys on it to ride it for a long test ride to see if they can figure it out, but would really like some ideas before I let them do it.   Cyko_bob Posted on Monday, June 13, 2005 - 04:13 pm:        Howie: Sounds like the TPS needs to be reset; the dealer can do that or you can buy a program to do it if you are compute literate. DAVES has the program...   Yeags30 Posted on Monday, June 13, 2005 - 06:01 pm:        tps reset, change the plugs to the good ones and give her hell on a openroad...some nice high rpms seems to clean out the gunk   Izzinya Posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 - 12:23 am:        tps zero and air fuel value reset it is the answer to most runnabuility issues ive seen that and fouled plugs other than that i havnt seen much with the xb's Izzinya   Raymondt Posted on Wednesday, June 15, 2005 - 12:34 am:        I had the identical issue with my XB12S with the factory race kit when it was new. I rode it like this until the first service. The TPS reset, a change to the SYN3 and a idle adjustment and now it runs and idles perfect. I think the guys are right! Don't let them ride your bike. Have them do the procedure and then ride it yourself
