    The TuneECU software saw the 20050 tune just fine, but would not have changed any of the characteristics of the modified tune right (TOR's, K&N under tank, CAT bypass, etc)?

    Hey HansO, I finally got around to messing with the TuneECU software and after a second attempt, must have gotten everything to communicate with each other again. The engine revs up a bit at start-up and settles back to idle as it always has done.

    ohm range of the Primary & Secondary TPS?

    Correction! In my long post dated Friday at 5:16, toward the end of the first paragraph I made a statement that they (the pri & sec TPS) were on the same shaft. TURBO200R4 commented that the primary was on the bottom shaft and the secondary was on the upper shaft. After reading this, and...

    ohm range of the Primary & Secondary TPS?

    I did a quick look at Baxter's site but found it to be "unfriendly". I could not find where I could order parts. Will look again and if successful, just may get the old gal back on the road sooner. Had my last bike for 35 years (1978 XS1100 Yamaha), which is still out on the road going...

    ohm range of the Primary & Secondary TPS?

    I used that same setting for both tps's. The primary (at the rear of the engine) stayed on the ohm scale throughout the entire sweep, increasing and decreasing accordingly (using a flat head screwdriver to rotated the pot), the secondary dropped off after 19.xx as stated in the previous post...

    ohm range of the Primary & Secondary TPS?

    OK, ran an ohm check but didn't write down the numbers, just checked to see if there was a constant increase in the sweep from min to max. the tps at the "rear" of the engine passed, the tps at the "front" dropped off about half way through the sweep. Checked it several times and I recall the...

    ohm range of the Primary & Secondary TPS?

    Can anyone provide me with the "ohm" sweep range of the TPS, both Pri & Sec? I'm about ready to dig into the electrical system and check them both but need to know the numbers I'll be expecting to see to assure they are good.

    Does anyone have an "actual" Rocket III service manual?

    I have an '05 Rocket and the service manual I have is in PDF format. I'm getting ready to see if my low idle issue is with the TPS or not. Viewing through the "Fuel System / Engine Management" section (section 11), I'm finding that page 11.129 is not in my PDF file. Page 11.130 appears twice...

    It can't be that serious, right?

    OK, not having to deal with issues on the Rocket for quite some time, I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the lingo of components. The TPS must also have another name. I'm looking at page 18.26 of the service manual and not finding any component referred to as that (TPS). I see item 14 is...

    It can't be that serious, right?

    Hey Scot, I really don't know what became of Dave (Pianoman). Once he sold his bike to the dude in Iowa (or Nebraska), he kinda disappeared from site. I think I may have chatted with him a time or two on the fone after that, but then, "POOF". What about Flip? I see he hasn't been on the site...

    It can't be that serious, right?

    Hey Scot! Yes, it's me! Still scooting around on the original Rocket. Just over 30K miles now. I'm not into long distance rides much these days. Although I would like to "chase those leaders" down the road in Tennessee again, with you right there along with us. That was the most...

    It can't be that serious, right?

    Thanks Guys. I have the TuneBoy software but haven't had to hook the laptop up to the Rocket for years. She has been wonderful to me. Would surprise me that the tune is the issue, but who knows! I'll be struggling to get back on track just to get the bike & laptop to chat together. Starting...
