The engine hesitation between 0-2000ish rpms, both on acceleration and off the throttle...is this a characteristic of the engine, or is it something am EBR ecm would correct? I've noticed the engine takes a few seconds after letting off the throttle to return to idle.

I know I read about this in a previous thread, but can't find it. Sorry for the repeat.

Generally if your idle "floats", it's a sign that its set too high. That, combined with a hesitation, would indicate (to me, anyway) that it's time to do a proper TPS reset along with an idle reset.

When I've done my hot engine TPS zeroing reset with ECMSpy on my 06' I've had to do it a couple of times while still hooked up to get the engine to even start up. It might be because the AFV gets out of wack when the reset is done. Maybe somebody with more knowledge about this could chime in here. Should the AFV value be set at some value at the time of the reset? I've never messed with it before but notice on ECMSpy it appears that the AFV can be inputted right under the reset button.

Just hit YES which will set it to 100%.

Steve,
What does 100% mean?

The AFV has nothing to do with the TPS. Performing a TPS reset does not change the AFV in any way.

The AFV is the global Adaptive Fuel Value, which enrichens or leans out the fuel mixture based on input mostly from the O2 sensor. 100% means that the fuel mixture is 100% of what the fuel maps are programmed too, 105% means that it is adding an extra 5% of fuel, 95% means it is removing 5%. If your bike is stock and functioning correctly, you typically will see the AFV at about 100, with it raising and lowering a bit to compensate for altitude and other conditions. When the bike is being driven in open loop mode (general cruising), it will adjust the AFV. Resetting it to 100% will do no harm, as the bike will just adjust itself back to wherever it wants as you ride.
