Thank you guys for this thread. My bike has about 623 miles on it and I have began to have some of the same issues. Thought at first I might have bad gas. Anyway quick question. Does it matter in this procedure of turnig the bike on, I'm assuming turn the key to the on position, and having the red ignition/kill swith on right handle bar to what position. Does it matter in this procedure if it is in the ignition on or kill position. I know with it in the kill position no fuel will pump into the cylinders. Then of course, in the key on position cycle the throttle several times full on to full off to reset the tps. Does it matter which positon the igniton/kill switch is in. Thanks, CBenthuzed

You want everything energized just like you're going to start it, only you don't.

Depends on whether your transistors are the PNP or NPN type!

East to West is certainly OK, but when you turn around and head back East, everyone knows that now the positive terminal of you battery is on the wrong side of the bike.
