Go cruise for 20 minutes between 3,000 and 3,600 rpms. This will allow the ECM to learn in the new mod, and compensate for any changes. You should be good to go after this. If not, TPS reset is never a bad thing. Ride it in first, the ECM will between those rpms.

No need to do a TPS reset for the crankcase breather re-route. You sure you got your engine temp sensor back correctly and plugged in the inner air box bottom? (Circled below to clarify)

the sensor will only clip in one way right i am pretty precise when it comes to taking it apart and putting it back together i did not do the 3000 rpms so do you guys suggest i put the breather re route back on and retry cuz its killing me her not running right i ride every day and do i ride at 3000 rpms for twenty mins straight down the highway until i hit the twenty min mark when ever you guys did the re route did your bike die on you or what cuz mine did a few times thanks bros good lookin out we will be talkin alot i be on it

After I did the breather re-route on my bike, only thing it did differently was all good things (it had a noticeable decrease in the amount of airbox hiccups/backfires).

If you're problems all started After the re-route, it seems like there would be something that was left undone. If nothing else, I'd at least take it apart and re-check everything.

(Only thing the re-route should effect is the air that the engine intakes no longer has the "recycled" crankcase gases in it.)

thats the IAT sensor, not the engine temp sensor.


you definitely DONT want the engine sensor there.

Edit: BTW GBalias, good to see you back on here.
