    TPS RESET SCREW WILL NOT TURN

    Don't even bother with using your fingers....you have to use an allen wrench to get it to turn if it's tight.

    Will the top clamp work with the Bolt bottom clamp? I thought the offsets were different? Do you have the bolts for the bar clamp?

    Painted...sort of

    If you remember, I picked this bike up with the camo paint. There was lots of clear coat and it is far from a professional job, but I do like the colors! Edited for Pic placement

    Anyone want to swap tails?

    Cool. I have the frame and swinger drying right now. I want to get the bike finished this week. I am riding dunes tomorrow and hoping to finish the plastic on Wednesday. Taking the front end apart far enough to paint properly will be a pain...Perhaps Thursday morning?

    Anyone want to swap tails?

    That is why I am thinking a semi-gloss rather than straight flat black, although flat black makes me smile!

    Anyone want to swap tails?

    Where do I get my paint done? Too funny. It is going to get done in my garage! Right now, I am trying to decide on all flat black, or black for the frame and tan for the plastic. I have a lot going on in the next several months. After I get things a bit more settled, I can strip it down...

    Anyone want to swap tails?

    The paint is a matter of taste....and it is not my cup of tea. I am going to start sanding and painting on Tuesday. I am still getting the hang of the street bike riding, but if you promise not to leave me in the dust, I am up for a spirited ride! HWY 126 from V-Town to Florence is a nice...

    Anyone want to swap tails?

    Hi, I just picked up my 05 Firebolt...I wanted a Lightning, but the price was pretty good on this 'Bolt. I am in Eugene OR and would be interested in swapping tail sections with a Lightning, we can do the swap in my garage...My tail will need some paint...Take a look.

    Build your own firebolt color scheme

    I am thinking about tan bodywork, black frame with gold wheels....

    Always wanted one.....Now I have one!

    I am going to try painting in myself. I was thinking black for the frame and tan for the plastics, kind of a semi gloss or satin finish. I am testing a metalic blue on the chin fairing, it's a nice color, but I am not sure if it fits the bikes image, too friendly if that makes sense.

    Help...TPS reset gone horribly wrong!

    Thanks to you to for the assist with the exhaust control Steven! I am a pretty good tuner with most things and a very good mechanic, this is just a new FI and is different from the other systems I have used. I just started my trouble shooting and gave it some thought. I am glad it was simple!

    Help...TPS reset gone horribly wrong!

    Fixed. Has to be a common rookie mistake. I did another TPS reset and figured that I was not fully closing the throttle body, only backing it off to zero. I backed off the idle adjustment quite far, really unscrewed it until I could feel the throttle "stick" closed. Then hit reset, then...

    Help...TPS reset gone horribly wrong!

    OK...I am pretty sure it is not my map, I have it saved and backed up and it looks similar to the one on the tuning guide. I don't know about the EEPROM, I don't know if it is correct or not...there are a lot of zeros in one spot. When I exit from ecmspy after TPS reset, it prompts me with...

    Help...TPS reset gone horribly wrong!

    You know Dave, anything is possible. I read through the tuning guide before I did anything, and then hooked up to the bike to see if I had all the drivers installed correctly before I did anything else. I did not back up my EEPROM as I was only trying to turn off my exhaust controller. I...

    Help...TPS reset gone horribly wrong!

    I did not do anything at first but try to turn off the active exhaust. I had to fetch the map to do that, I did not do anything to the EPROM, but it asked me if I wanted to burn EEPROM changes when I exited the last time and I clicked no...I did not think I needed to back up anything because I...

    Help...TPS reset gone horribly wrong!

    Hi. I feel like such a NOOB! I downloaded ecmspy and got a cable, drivers installed everything working like I think it should. Tried to turn off the active exhaust and could not get it to take. Finally figured it out, now bike runs aweful off idle.. bakfires, won't idle properly, surges. I...

    How do I turn off active exhaust with ECMSpy?

    I have my 05 firebolt all hooked up and talking to the laptop....I can run diagnostics, but I cannot check the boxes that turn on or off the active muffler control. Laptop will pull and clear the code, but I cant get the screen to accept the check. What am I doing wrong here? Am I supposed...

    Always wanted one.....Now I have one!

    I will take some pics tonight. Really, most people tell me the paint is not that bad, but I am in the Army and the last thing I want is more camo! I like the basic black which would go well with my gold wheels, but I think I might try blue. Anyone have good luck with good rattle can on the...

    Always wanted one.....Now I have one!

    I have always thought the Buell's were very cool bikes, but I could never justify purchasing one...I have always been a big dirt rider and did not want to spend money on a street bike at the expense of my dirt hobby. Well, I came across a 2005 XB12R with 2600 miles on it for 4500. Too good to...
