Author Message   Ferrisanyoneseenferris Posted on Friday, December 07, 2012 - 09:11 am:        Hi, my 08 was never really running super smooth, but now its worse. Sitting at a stop sign, whatever, when I go to take off, its popping and I have to gas it again to get it up to where I can take off strong enough. Its always been a bad runner cold, so I accept that part, but its seeming worse even when its warmed up. Seem like a common problem to anyone, and is there a common solution to try first? Thanks in advance!   Etennuly Posted on Friday, December 07, 2012 - 10:33 am:        I would start out with new spark plugs.   Towpro Posted on Friday, December 07, 2012 - 10:54 am:        Have you tried the Throttle Position Reset as described in the owners manual?   Froggy Posted on Friday, December 07, 2012 - 11:31 am:        It may be an issue with your IAC not providing adequate airflow at low throttle conditions. If the valve is all gunked up it can cause your symptoms. I would remove it and clean it out.   Ferrisanyoneseenferris Posted on Friday, December 07, 2012 - 07:43 pm:        Thanks guys, I'll try these things out. I love the bike though, so whatever it needs, its gonna get taken care of.   Ratbuell Posted on Friday, December 07, 2012 - 09:15 pm:        TPS reset first. Free, no parts required...and I'll bet it fixes your issue.   Ferrisanyoneseenferris Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 05:21 am:        Anybody know who can do the TPS reset for me near Miami?   Bdub_uly Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 06:05 am:        You don't need the dealer to do a TPS reset on an '08. Key ON Killswitch ON Turn throttle from full ON to full OFF 3 times, holding 1 second at each position. (Don't force, use moderate pressure at stops) Key OFF Wait 10 seconds. DONE!   Ferrisanyoneseenferris Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 10:04 am:        Thanks, I didn't see that in the manual, will do it today!   Ratbuell Posted on Monday, December 10, 2012 - 11:07 pm:        I'd have to check my 1125 manual...but I want to say it's in the owners manual somewhere. Check the index.   Ferrisanyoneseenferris Posted on Thursday, December 13, 2012 - 11:09 am:        I tried it, better but not great. I think I need a new ECM tuned for a new exhaust, have to hit the wife up for more Buell money! She just sprung for the bike and then new tires and painting the wheels and sprockets. But... Christmas is coming!!!
