Welcome from Florida ,Frank it would be easier for other members to giveyou assistance if you put your location and bike year and model under your avatar.

You can probably fix the problem your self with the help of folks on this forum

Ditto that and welcome to the site from New Jersey, Frank.

Welcome Frank.
What's the third problem?
Probably not to big of a deal. Was the price right?

Hello and welcome from the UK.. If you are good with spanners you will have no problems working on your rocket.

Frank, a big Aussie welcome, hope you get your Rocket on the road soon.

G'day and welcome.

Do not adjust maps until you know what you are working with. First, make sure that the Primary TPS is set correctly. This can be done with TuneECU. The original ones in the 2006 models wore out, but the ones you get now should be good. This is an easy check/adjustment and will probably fix the idle problems, assuming fuel etc is fresh. If it fixes the problem, but the problem then returns, then you will need to get a new TPS.
