So i got my bike out today (first time since late October) and i noticed some popping on deceleration, and some hiccups when i pulled the clutch while approaching a couple stop signs. I ride a 9r and i have a Race ECM and a D&D exhaust. I think i need a TPS reset but i did not have these issues last year. Could it be something else? |

I had the same issue on my first outing this year. After running around town a bit and a stop for lunch, the problem seemed to go away. I just guessed it was funky gas from sitting all winter? |

The air has changed, and the bike needs a little time to adjust the AFV. Plus, there may be, as mentioned, some skunky fuel. I'd say ride it for a couple of days, and see how it does. |

also check your battery voltage and connections |

I had it hooked up on a 12v trickle charger all winter, so i'm pretty sure the voltage should be good. I ran most of the old gas out and used Stabil in October and filled up fresh today with 92 octane. Hopefully after i burn out the rest of the tank it will improve. |

Make sure to ride steady in the AFV reset range - I want to say 3000-3500rpm for what, five or ten minutes if possible? That lets the ECM "re-learn" for the new weather, etc. Don't quote me on the rpms or the time, though..I ride tubers with choke knobs ;) |

Anyone in MN that has experience doing a TPS reset with a XB9r and would like to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. |

thanks ironhead, i'll throw out some PM's and see what happens. Otherwise i think i'm just going to take it to St.Paul Harley/Buell. I need to get my fork oil changed anyway. thanks again for the tip. |
