A few days ago I was riding the 1125R. I was on the throttle fairly hard but nowhere near red line in third gear. When I let off the throttle I noticed that the check engine light was on. I shut the engine down and coasted for about 5 seconds. I restarted the engine and the light stayed off and hasnt come back on again. I checked the trouble code when I got home and it read ACT INT SYS ERR. It didnt give me a trouble code number. It read P----. I did de-noid the throttle body when bike was new and have the proper Buell resistor in place. The way I read it in the shop manual there are 3 things that would throw that code, 2 having something to do with the throttle solenoid and the other being the TPS. If memory serves me correctly the throttle solenoid was designed to work in third gear. I have 4000 miles on the bike and this is the first time the engine light has come on. Is it normal to not give a code number when the engine light comes on? I have a trip planned in a couple weeks and I would like to have this issue cleared up. Is the an easy way to check the TPS? I have a volt meter but it doesnt appear that its accessible to check without taking the throttle body off the engine. Any help would be appreciated.

IIRC, you can access the TPS 0-100 % by going into the diagnostics on the display.

Kill switch off, roll throttle up and should not have any hesitation anywhere in the 0-100 range.
