You guys werent kidding about how much the TPS reset can do for you. I have a whole new bike now. WOW. Thanks to the folks at Glendale HD who took me as a walk-in on a Saturday when they were giving test rides and Erik Buell was on deck. The place was packed. They didnt charge me an arm or leg either. I had it up in the twisties yesterday and I love this bike. I can tell I am gonna like this list as much as I liked sportster.org when I owned my sporty. Now I'll get to that rocker box leak. | ||

I noticed on your profile you are running a WileyCo exhaust. FYI they have a lifetime gauranty. If you still have the old style and it breaks, let them know and it can be replaced for the price of shipping. Here is a link to pics of the new system. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show.cgi?tpc=4062&post=445593#POST 445593 | ||

I have the old style and I have started noticing a rattle from it. I am going to check out getting the new style or repacking it. Thanks for the heads up. | ||

I just sent an email to customer support in Italy. They took great care of me. | ||

TPS reset should be done at every 5000 mile interval, so you can keep the warm and tingly feeling going on and on! | ||

What do they charge for a TPS reset? Wondering if thats whats wrong with my bike. Very sluggish till about 5000 rpm. Then it moves. Thanks JayB | ||

For those of you that know, is it (in fact) beneficial to reset the TPS as part of regular maintenance even if the machine runs good?? | ||
| Josh_ |
no. Last TPS I did they didn't bother to charge (Cohzair up near Decatur, Il). Nice guys. | ||

A TPS reset may run anywhere between 1/2 to 1 hour's labor, including the test ride. Rock, it is something that is recommended by the motor company as part of the scheduled maintenance. Even if the bike is running well, the sensor needs calibration from time to time. Just the nature of DDFI/AlphaN fuel injection. Let's put it this way, if you do the TPS reset at the recommended interval, it eliminates one cause for any possible running problems you might encounter. | ||

They charged me $35. I would willingly pay it again for the amount of difference it made. | ||

Jayb, tps reset is only for the XB's, the fuel injected ones. If that nice looking S1 in your profile is the one you are having the issue with, that is not your problem. Looks like a lot of work has been done to that bike, somebody might have slapped a set of very hot cams in there so the thing has zero power down low, then a monster hit up top. To get the really big peak HP numbers, that would be a normal trade off. I don't know what else was done to the engine, but another set of cams would not be that hard to install, nor terribly expensive. That would let you trade some top end for midrange power. A different exhaust can tune for different power bands as well. | ||

Chris, thanx for insight regarding the TPS reset at scheduled intervals--I didn't know! | ||

Reepicheep, No, I am not talking about my S1. I just bought a 02 X1 to go along with my S1. The X1 runs like pooh compared to my S1. Thanks for the help guys, It sounds cheep enough to see if it will fix my problems. Later Jay |
