Hey all!

I have not had any problems with my Buell until recently. I have a 2004 XB12R with Buell Factory Race Kit that when I start...sounds like it wants to choke off (yeah, I know it sounds dirty!) It has started to cut off recently and I need to restart it twice and give it a little juice, then it stays idling, but very erratically! Not sure what this is or where to start. Usually she is smooth as butter and the motor only has about 2.5K miles on a rebuild. Any suggestions? I know perhaps maybe the TPS needs to be reset and I have heard you can do it manually, but the results are not all that good. I think the previous owner was kind enough to give me an ECMspy cable, but I don't have the software. Is this better left to a shop for the time being? Oh, when warmed up, there does not seem to be an issue. Seems to only happen from a dead cold start. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
