If the dealer installed your racekit, they should have taken care of the tps reset.

If you installed it yourself, you need to go to a dealer and have it reset.

It calibrates your throttle valve position so the ECU knows what fully closed is. Its position is used to calculate fuel injection values and if the valve in the closed position is not registered by the ecu as such, your bike will run crappy.

Exupmonkey,

No, you do not need to have the tps reset.

A tps reset would be nessecary in case you switch ecm's or throttle body/valve, or the tps got somehow out of whack (backfires or wear).

JohnK3, thanks for the offer of the ECM, I posted an ad in the classifieds looking for one a week or so ago and got no response, so yeh, I am interested. I have emailed you.

Cheers.
