That should reset your original throttle position.

The throttle by wire will remember throttle position each time the bike is shut down

That said, some are having problems rolling the throttle a bit when using the kill switch

This can cause this type of problem

There is just a bit of roll on with this set up compared to cable type throttles

The little extra roll on can = higher RPM when starting This does work, I tried it on mine when I first got it;)[/B]

I don't know about that... The M8 Is supposed to idle when Cold 1000 to 1100 hundred RPM's plus and then when it warms up...It settles down to the annoying 850/900 lope...After about a mile of riding...:Shrug:

What the above info is for if your idle is lets say high @2000, then use the method

It can and does happen withTBW

My 15 Freewheeler did the same thing twice

Your M8 only idles cold @1000 to 1100? When you cold start it?
