    Quick question. Can you do a TPS reset on an 09? I think I read somewhere that on 09 the bike adusts automatically? I was't sure if that was correct.

    Can you do a TPS reset on an 09?
    '08+ TPS Reset Procedure:

    - Turn on the key.

    - Set the kill switch to the run position.

    - Don’t start the engine. Rotate the throttle from fully closed (gently forced closed) to fully open (gently held open), and then back again to closed (gently forced closed).

    - Repeat 3 times. Hold each position (fully open, fully closed) for 1 full second.

    - Turn the key off and on.

    new to forum and motorcycling in general ... am i resetting the tps on a new 09 firebolt if after having winterized it (battery tender, etc.), it's turning over but not starting? brand new bike, weather's turning, and the dealership is an hour away ... the service mgr said he'd email me something about me 'resetting the spark plugs' before they handled it, which I don't care to interpret at this point in time ... thx for the great insights on this forum

    Not sure what he means but you shouldn't need to do a TPS reset just because it's been winterized. Probably need new plugs. NGK Iridium (Pt# DCPR9EIX) are awesome plugs. Here's a good procedure to change them out: Spark Plug Change

    Edit: I'm assuming the Engine is cranking, just not starting the bike.

    Does it matter if the engine is hot or cold when you reset?? Maybe a stupid question, but i remember reading somewhere that you should recheck the throttle-values when the engine is warmed up. True or..??

    Whatever the motor, it's always a good rule of thumb to get motor to operating temps. and then do your checks/adjustments so you have a solid baseline. If you check/adjust when cold, measurements and levels are dependant on outside ambient temp which varies.
