Author Message   Augustus74 Posted on Saturday, May 16, 2009 - 09:38 pm:        Anyone wanna help me out with a tps reset in the NY/NJ area?   Kazz1949 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 12:14 am:        Set the run switch to on; turn the ignition switch/key to on. Then rotate throttle full open, hold for a second, then back to full closed, hold for a second, repeat two more times, turn ignition switch/key to off position, then back to on, done. Bike runs perfectly. WAY to go Buell!   Augustus74 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 01:09 am:        Really??? Are the steps any different if you put in the race computer(whole kit)?   Kazz1949 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 01:42 am:        I don't know.   Andymnelson Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 04:01 am:        The above has nothing to do with resetting the TPS on your bike. You need ECMSpy or similar. Race kit has nothing to do with it. Someone who knows what they are doing hook a brotha up! (I'd help, but it's a looong ride!)   Hammer71 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 07:54 am:        Says youre in New City. Could meet up at Bear Mtn car show on wednesday and take care of it for ya.   Kazz1949 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 10:59 am:        He inquired about a tps reset. Page 4-8 of the service manual states how to zero (reset) tps. Bob   Augustus74 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 11:31 am:        Thanks Hammer! I'll try to get the kit installed before then. I'm gonna pm you my email. Nice profile pic!!!   Andymnelson Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 03:05 pm:        Yup, and if you get a service manual for his bike and not yours...it will show a completely different procedure!   Damnut Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 04:28 pm:        I would consider putting in the exhaust and air filter in then riding down to Bear Mt. While up there put in the ECM and reset the TPS. If you put in your Race ECM then ride it, it may run like ass until you reset the TPS. The front fairing comes off the XBR pretty easily.   Augustus74 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 08:26 pm:        Yeah, Damnut, I wasn't sure how it would run or how far I could ride it without the reset. The computer is under the front fairing???   Damnut Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 10:46 pm:        yea right above the headlights. You only have to unbolt a couple of things, your mirrors, blinkers and the 2 bottom bolts of your windscreen. I think that is all to remove the front fairing.   Augustus74 Posted on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 10:54 pm:        Ok, Hammer offered to help but I don't want to get too involved as we would be out on the road doing this. I also don't want to impose too much, I just asked for a tps reset not a teardown!   Damnut Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 09:34 am:        I'm sure Hammer will have no problems helping you. He's a cool guy, gave me head once. Ask him he'll tell you all about it.   Andymnelson Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 10:32 am:        lol   Augustus74 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 11:52 am:        Will do Damnut. Is the process Kazz listed different cause he has an '08?   Andymnelson Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 12:10 pm:        Yes. If you do a little digging, or look at the ECMSpy tuning guide, you will find the process for our bikes. Very different from the '08s.   Hammer71 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 04:33 pm:        LOL Saintly helped me give you head. Quick tear down at Bear Mtn not an issue. Exhaust and filter should take less than an hour so you should be ready for wednesday.   Damnut Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:17 pm:        You know if the roles were reversed that I woulda gave you two head as well. And watch who you call a Red Sox fan, I pity the fool who call me dat.   Mikexlr650 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:19 pm:        it was a "group thing". if i remember correctly saintly was very quick with his "head".   Kazz1949 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:36 pm:        Sorry, just trying to help,not mess anyone up. Bob   Froggy Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:40 pm:        I just watched in amazement on how fast they yanked that bike apart, you would think there was a chopshop or something going on at night. Also, I can do the TPS reset for you if needed, I just am busy with work and riding for the near future.   Augustus74 Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 11:00 pm:        Pipe is on - ooooooo what a difference! Can't wait for the computer!   Andymnelson Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 - 11:46 pm:        No prob, Bob. You guys with your fancy-schmancy new engines get the easy way out. We need computers and cables and software to do our TPS resets.   Pkforbes87 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 06:06 am:        during the Buell day at Cycle Connection in Joplin, MO the XT I was demoing fouled a plug bad enough that it would only run on one cylinder. One of the techs came out and showed me a procedure built into the ECM that will fire the plugs without injecting fuel or turning the engine over. After a few seconds of firing them the extra fuel made a pop out of the airbox and she started right up. It was something like turn key on, hold WOT, then flip ignition on. I'm sure the manual lists the exact procedure, and pretty sure it only works on 08+ bikes.   Augustus74 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 09:50 pm:        Thanks again Hammer! Bike runs great, its gonna be a good weekend!!!
