well i just got my clubman bars in and said to myself, might as well do the open airbox mod too.....so i started searching here about the topic and theres ONE thing that im still confused about:

do you have to reset the TPS or not?
ive read that you do, and ive also read that itll learn on its own?

any help would be appreciated
(btw its on an 06 xbsx w/ d&d exhaust and a kn filter already in)

I believe that you will have to reset your TPS. With those mods you're going to need a race ecm or ecmspy, or she'll be way lean.

I have similar mods (specifics in my profile). The race ECM and a TPS reset would be good ideas.

You will only need to reset your TPS if you get a new ECM. What you may have to reset with that mod is your AFV.

You can reset your AFV and TPS values in ECMspy. The AFV will adjust itself anyway while you are riding but if it is out of wack the bike will run horrible.

I did my airbox mod(1" hole saw x 7)two years ago on my '06 Uly. I did not have to do a TPS reset and I have the stock ECM, air filter, and exhaust. It runs great.

IMHO the AFV will relearn to this mod if it is the only mod that happens. If you go to the K&N filter and or ECM and or exhaust it will need help.

AFV = Adaptive Fuel Value. Your ECM is constantly updating this value based on throttle position, engine cylinder head temp, load, and ambient air temp, especially depending on the RPM range that you are in at the time.
