Man I am not having any luck at all on tuning. I had to rebuild the bike after wrecking in November, the motor was taken out but NOTHING on it was messed with. I got the bike back to 100%, got it running and took it up and down the street. It just ran terrible. When I got back it was running really rich, and I had error codes 13 and 15 for the o2 sensor and the air temp sensor. I thought after tearing it completely apart and putting the used ECM that I would just load the stock maps reset the TPS and AFV and it would just run. I must have done something wrong on the TPS or AFV. I was SO hoping to have it running well by this weekend. Do you have any advice? What would you do if starting from scratch?

I basically loaded the stock maps, adjusted the TPS to zero then went a half turn past and zeroed it in ECM SPY. Turned the adjustment until it was reading about 4.7 and it ran OK but still was rich. I thought I just needed to run it until it cleared out because it seemed gummed up. But it ran badly the entire time. Is it possible it was just too cold and never made it to 160C? I am also still unsure of the open loop vs. closed loop...

Any info you have would be great.... I am new to tuning so am I missing something??? Supposed to be 55 and sunny Saturday and I REALLY want to ride!

Did you double check the sensors were plugged in and their wires aren't damaged or pinched?

or, if the connectors are the same (I don't know)maybe you have them switched?

I think it is possible that the oxygen intake sensor might have been pinched. I have everything untied now and it looks good. I am going to try and disable the O2 sensor in ECMSPY and see if it helps. I only got the error when I was riding and it was running very rich for some reason.

Well alright! I got home last night put new NGK Platinum plugs in it and it fired right up and idles great. I guess the plugs were fouled from messing with it so much. Going to ride it later today and see how it does now!

Well after riding it to town it ran terrible again. I got the O2 sensor error again. I spent last night putting a new O2 sensor and plugs in it. Low and behold it ran pretty decent today. It did not run perfect but it ran ok. I think I can tune from here. So new plugs, O2 sensor, intake oxygen sensor, stock maps and TPS reset. Does anyone have a modified map for a 2005 with stock pipe and modified airbox by chance? Please PM if so!
