Wanting to reset the idle screw and found some blue sealant on the screw hole. Looks like an allan. Has anyone tried to set the TPS on an 09?

The TPS is set using the throttle and the directions are in your service manual. : )

OK I have set it that way. I was told the idle needs to be zeroed out to be correct....?

After setting it, It idles OK but I have to give it some throttle to start it. Runs great.

I got an Idea! I can take off the cable came and manually roll.

The idle is computer controlled. Due to the unusual cold it takes a little more effort for the bike to start, switching to a lighter oil can help. I am running 10w-40 or something here in NY during the winter to help with the below freezing starts.

I did the reset back months ago. I have been just giving it a little throttle when starting. So the ECM knows where "0" is?? I can live with it the way it is I just wanted all the power I can get without major mods at this point.

Yep, it self adjusts too. In theory you shouldn't ever need the manual TPS reset.

Cool beans. I knew something was amiss. The 09 is cool in that area. So why did it change the way it starts? Hmm so what next. I'm going to button it back up and ride for a while before I change anything else. Might cut up the air air box while I at it. One other thing about the race ecm is you can remove the active exhaust servo and not set off an engine light. I guess I will have to build the gadget to fake the servo load.

Thank you Froggy !

You can just leave the servo connected to the ECM but not the exhaust, you won't get any errors that way. If you are doing something like an airbox delete, you can use a resistor to simulate the servo.

As for the starting, without seeing it or knowing more, I still point my finger to the cold. Large displacement + high compression + thick oil = bitch below 40°F : )

OK understood.

Resistor implement ease. Looks something like this?




Is there another way. Looks simple but you said resistor.

American Sport Bike sell somethings to trick the ECM, from my understanding it was just a resistor in a plug, but I have not seen it or read much about it, so I couldn't say what it really was or what it did.

Anyway, if Al sells it, you know it is good. : )

I am thinking I can make this simple circuit. Just allows ECM to see changes with voltage adjustments. Just mimics the servo signal.
