Power Commander 3 throttle position help
Discussion
So just put the baffle in the Leo Vince can on my RR8 Fireblade, and uploaded a suitable map for the setup.
Whilst checking the map had correctly gone over to the PC3, I noticed that whilst idling (idle hunting a bit between 1190 to 1250rpm) the PC3 software on my laptop was saying the throttle position was at 38%. Obviously idling I wasn't touching the throttle!
So now I go into the software > power cammander tools > set throttle position. I set the closed throttle value for what is being shown as the current value with bike idling, and sure enough the software reads 0%. I enter the value at full throttle for the 100% box and click ok, but get a warning that the range is smaller than recommended..... Am I doing something wrong?
Bike doesn't seem to run much different to before I made the adjustments.

Hi Hooli, yes bike was thoroughly warmed up before throttle calibration.
Starting to think I may have a dodgey TPS or throttle bodies are out??
Basically, following the power commander instructions (as I understand it), it gives me a wide band between closed and open, but the screen is telling me the bike is at 38% throttle when idling (now it actually says 60%!).
If adjust the values manually to get the screen sayning 0% throttle at idle, the band from 0 to 100% looks really narrow and flags up a warning message. Not sure where to go from here? Maybe strip tank off and test voltages from TPS, if I can find some guide values that is..

I'm 99% sure this little sucker is the TPS sensor:
It's measuring a constant 4.95v at 0% throttle, bike running or just ignition on. Doesn't seem to change when throttle is opened.
Have I just answered my own question? Something else I've overlooked or cocked up? Bike doesn't seem to be running particularly rough...

How does the PC3 pickup/connect to the TPS to give the PC3 it's signal?? Put the +ve probe where that connection is made
It piggybacks (right term?) between the OEM male and female plugs.I.e. you unplug Honda plug and the PC3 has 2 OEM fitting plugs the join between the TPS and Honda loom.
Right, some results, although strange.
With ignition on, bike not running, TPS shows 2.9v and PC3 software says 100% throttle (voltage doesn't change when throttle moved)
Bike idling, voltage drops to 2.0v, PC3 software says 60% throttle
Hold throttle to show 3,500rpm on bikes rev counter and voltage now drops to 1.7v, PC3 software says 45% throttle
What do you think?
