so my trusty 03 xb9 now is having trouble idling warm.
runs good otherwise that i can tell. tried tps reset to no help.
when its warm it slows down to the point of dying at idle.

mods-
breather reroute, air box delete.
hawk pipe
06 1200 throttle body
race tune

it was running great any now this... lol
any ideas guys?
no codes or check engine light when it dies
thanks

I don't want to insult your intelligence, but did you set the idle with the bike fully warmed up (>160 degrees Celsius in ECMSPY)? If you set it while the bike is still warming up and the ECM is still in cold enrichment, it will give you this exact symptom once it warms up.

It's a simple mistake I've seen plenty of times.

Um I'm not sure I'll check tomorrow. Thanks for the reply. So being at say 7% may not be a bad thing ? It runs good, just bad hot idle.
