It's a little tricky to do, of course, but I noticed that the bike wasn't running as smooth as before. I was on a two lane country road but I came onto a long straight stretch and pinned the throttle to the stop, then backed off down to around 55, then pinned it again, a total of 3 times, and the smoothness returned.
O.K., now that is just crazy talk
Now I don't know what to think or how to explain your results.I was pretty much convinced that the original procedure you described was showing positive results and that something of an electronic nature was taking place to improve throttle response.
Since your last post, however, I'm starting to wonder if what is happening is partly mechanical in nature. If you are not turning the bike on and off as in the original procedure, how is it learning or resetting the TPS while you are driving?
Now that I think about it, my previous bike (Vulcan 1700) was notorious for deposits forming around the butterfly valves and a periodic cleaning helped to smooth out throttle response. Could that be happening on the CB1100? Is exercising the throttle repeatedly while you are driving, having something of a mechanical effect to free things up?
