    2016 SX TPS Reset and frequent high idle

    Howdy!
    I know it seems like I only stop by when I need something. I've been having a blast on my EBR 1190SX, I took it to Southern Missouri a few weekends ago, I'll be taking on a short camping trip in western Kansas later this week, and I've been riding the ever loving **** out of it around town, blasting through valley and over hill, taking her low and fast in any corner I can find. Basically I'm making a ton of memories on this bike, the more I ride it, the more I want to ride it.

    I'm having an issue with the TPS... It seems I'm having to reset it once a day here lately. I know when it's off because the idlle surges to 3000 and stays there. I check the TPS and it's sitting at 4 or 5% I let the bike warm up, then shut it off, do the TPS reset, check the TPS value in the Diagnostic screen, make sure it's at 2% and then fire it up and all seems well, until the next morning, when I have to do it again. Is my TPS going south? Does anyone have ideas as to what would cause this behavior?

    Also... My EBR seems to really hate humidity, it seems way less smooth on 70%+ humidity days, or in rain. Anyone else experience this?

    Sorry for stupid question. I know how to do the TPS on my xb bikes, but how do we do it to the EBR?

    1. Key On Engine Off Kill Switch On
    2. Hold the throttle wide open with a gentle amount of force for 1 second.
    3. Hold the throttle closed with a gentle amount of force for 1 second.
    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 two more times for a total of three times.
    5. Turn the key off, wait two seconds, and turn it back on.

    I'd look into the IAC. I can't imagine why the ECM is changing that correction value.

    Are you sure it's not your throttle cable binding? Left turn to lock will tighten the cable, make sure your adjustment isn't too tight.

    It's not the cable binding, I have decent play in the throttle, not too much, I like it a little tight. I checked the IAC "steps" and it settled down to 40 steps on a hot start. the throttle sits at 3% when running and 2% when off. I didn't notice that difference at first.
    I did get an error code last night, the O2 Heater code. after some searching here, it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal. Also I got an exclamation point instead of a check engine light and a message that said something about the battery where I'd normally see my fuel mileage. I then checked the battery voltage with the bike running, it was at 15 VDC seems that would be half a volt high in my experience with my other bikes. Maybe the reg-rec is taking a dump? Maybe 15 VDC is normal?
    She rides good all seems well. I cleared the codes and I'll just wait for more data.

    Oh.. yeah the new motor has about 5000 miles on it so far. :)

    I found, by accident, that a prolonged key-on situation with the bike not running will make the O2 heater code come on. Was your key on for an extended period of time when the code appeared?

    15 volts is good. Your EBR has a Shorai Lithium-Ion battery that needs a higher charge voltage and a higher resting voltage to stay healthy.
