I have a PC on my Harley. With a laptop hooked up I am able to start the bike and it displays the throttle position.

If I installed a PC on my '99 X1, would I be able to perform a TPS reset?

Thanks!

Cheaper to go ECMSpy. Software is free. All you need is the cable. Cost me AUS$55. TPS reset is easy with this stuff.

To answer your question No
the tps reset is a specific signal sent to the ECM from the external computer to set the 0 position of the throttle position sensor.

I second Full Autos suggestion, and I would not add a power commander. in that the ECM can be reprogrammed with ECM Spy

As already stated. No need for a Commander. Just the cable.

The Power Commander reference to TPS reset refers to resetting the TPS value in the power Commander, not in the ECM as is typically done in Buell World. It IS a TPS reset, just not the one you need.

These other chaps are correct.
