Author Message   Mbarrad Posted on Saturday, October 15, 2011 - 01:19 pm:        I just installed my Erik Buell Racing ECM for my XB12S and am trying to do a TPS reset. Problem is the lowest my throttle will go is 8.2. Can't get it to zero no matter what I do. Have y'all seen this issue? Let me know what I can do. Thanks.   Mbarrad Posted on Saturday, October 15, 2011 - 04:13 pm:        Reset to ECM connections and it is fine.   Noone1569 Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 10:58 am:        What year XB? http://badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142838/636996.html?1309446753 (Message edited by noone1569 on October 17, 2011)   Mbarrad Posted on Monday, October 17, 2011 - 07:40 pm:        It is a 2004. The ECM is is for 04 - 07 models.   Noone1569 Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 11:01 am:        Yeah. I would not use ECMSpy with that ECM per the directions I received from Erik Buell Racing. I'm not the only one that trashed an ECM doing so. The firmware is different and ECMSpy changes certain variables within the Erik Buell Racing ECM that were not mean to be changed. I noticed the issue when trying to do a TPS reset and experienced problems.   Mbarrad Posted on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - 07:18 pm:        Well I did notice when the bike warms up, the idle will phase back and forth from 1100 rpm to 900rpm until the bike is warmed up. After that it will idle fine. I also noticed when letting go of the throttle from 4000 rpm (for example) it will take its sweet time going to idle. Maybe this is a side affect? Can this be adjusted with another type of software?   Andymnelson Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 08:53 am:        The last symptom you just described is exactly what our bike do with a slightly high idle. Here is what I would do, before going back to E.BR: Warm the bike up REAL good. Do a good TPS reset. Set idle to 950. This may solve it alltogether...   Noone1569 Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 11:40 am:        Mbarrad: That's almost exactly the symptoms I had when I corrupted my Erik Buell Racing ECM. E.BR told me the only way to properly adjust the TPS with their new ECMs is through the tool the dealer has =(   Mbarrad Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 08:07 pm:        Thanks Noone. Does every HD dealership have this tool? Did the HD tool TPS reset fix your problem?   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 08:32 pm:        I agree with Andy, your symptoms are the same of those when the TPS is not done correctly. Try it again after the bike is warmed up with the 950-1000 idle and it should be good as new.   Mbarrad Posted on Wednesday, October 19, 2011 - 09:28 pm:        I think the issue was due to the TPS reset being set when the motor was cold. I reset the TPS at 120 degrees celcius. I will let the bike cool down and see how the bike reacts to a cold start.   Mbarrad Posted on Friday, October 21, 2011 - 06:55 pm:        The warm TPS reset did it. Bike is running 100% better. Does not phase between RPMs and the throttle drops as it should. Thanks for all of your suggestions.   Pontlee77 Posted on Saturday, October 22, 2011 - 04:08 pm:        from my experience i zeroed the tps with the old ecm, put the ebr and reset it, as i think ebr ecm comes at zero, at lest it worked for me.
