Crash- I would have instantly recommended a TPS reset if the OP's bike was DDFI-2 XB, but was reluctant to mention it due to it being an 1125 since I don't have any personal experience with the 1125...
I'm not dissing the Power Commander. Never used it. But I can't recall ever reading or hearing a positive account from anyone who has used a PC setup, nor have I seen any dyno charts showing...
Sounds like you've already identified a wiring issue. Following that same method, you can try to isolate the problem by determining which part of the wiring harness causes the symptoms and then use...
James or Cometic intake seals FTW. You can find them online from lots of vendors.
@ desotonorsocal:
1. Is your battery verified as good? Take your battery to an auto parts store and have it bench tested under load. If it's bad, proceed in replacing the battery while also...
For the hanging idle - Got ECMSYP or Tunerpro and a cable? If so, try doing a TPS reset following the procedure in my recent post responses. If not, just try lowering your idle slightly after it's...
Evade - As mentioned in my post, when backing out the idle and snapping the throttle you're not trying to reach a degree reading of '0' (zero) and need to completely ignore the actual numeric value...
This online ergonomics simulator may be useful: http://cycle-ergo.com/
When backing out the idle screw, I monitor the TPS Degrees value since it's directly related to the TPS reset procedure. The value will decrease as the throttle plate closes (indicating the opening...
If you want to go the molded earplugs route, try Radians DIY earplug putty and roll your own with your choice of earplugs. It's cheap and effective. Lots of tutorials in the interwebs.
For folks wanting to datalog and tune, I recommend grabbing an old Dell Mini 9 or Vostro A90 notebook off ebay. Look for one with SSD storage. They're cheap (you can usually find them for $100 or...

I don't speak German, but I think Ich meant to post this in a "What the F**k?"...
Not to diminish the awesomeness of the Marines, but none of the 3 Americans who are credited with the takedown of the gunman were Marines. Spencer Stone is an Air Force Airman, Alek Skarlatos is an...
Holy crap. I put that "paint inspiration" online ages ago. I'm surprised it's still up.
Radar detectors on bikes are a mixed bag. They can be useful in cities with smaller police department funding that prevents them from using laser speed speed detection. In contrast to radar, which...
No real need to. No harm either if it just makes you feel better. If it was zero'd correctly when the last reset was done, a new cable won't change the calibration.
No problem. Hope it's helpful to someone. A proper TPS reset is absolutely essential to a proper running bike. If your TPS calibration is off, even by a small amount, it can really make your bike run...
To add to Lunatic's post- Folks need to quit obsessing on reaching actual numeric "zero" when backing out the idle adjustment. Depending on how far off the TPS calibration is, it might not actually...
No, I haven't done any other mods involving the flash to pass switch, although I have considered doing something for opening/closing the garage door from my bike. I don't like the idea of using the...
Been rocking the DDM 35W/6000K kit on both hi/low for over 8 years now without issue. I do recommend a HID delay kit like the wolstentech TDR (Wolstentech HID TDR Time Delay) to reduce the strain on...
@Chickn- No problem, man. Doing a TPS reset doesn't hurt anything, especially if you're troubleshooting and want to simply eliminate the TPS calibration as a contributing factor. But it's not...
Chikn - Not doubting your expertise at all, but what does throttle position sensor have to do with air or exhaust mods? It's just a sensor that's connected to the intake butterfly that converts a...
Also, just so you know... Most folks rock the Hawk and similar exhausts for the sound, not for increased performance. I'm not saying the Hawk doesn't enhance performance (I don't own one), but most...
Try the following:
- Load up a bone-stock EEPROM load for your model/year.
- Perform TPS reset. Search the board for my posts or the factory manual regarding the proper procedure. Don't stop at...
