Can some one give me sequence for throttle to reset idle control.
Just so everyone knows .
I am a naturally aspirated guy.
First experience with all this electronic gear.
My Honda starts everyday runs forever.
Its frustrating to have go through this.
But I really like the bike its fun to ride after riding the 700 pound sport tourer.

There is no reset procedure. Every time you turn the key off it resets itself (you should be able to hear it moving).
This engine has an idle air control valve to maintain idle when the throttle bodies are closed. It is attached to the bottom of the airbox with a plastic plunger that goes up into the box. It is controlled by the computer utilizing feedback from vacuum hoses, air temp and probably several other sensors.
Removing the air box is very easy and logical if you just do it. It takes 5 min, I just did it yesterday.

- Remove center and top side fairings
- remove battery
- disconnect sensor plugs and hoses (air temp on top, secondary air system valve on rt side)
- remove the big relay that's attached to the left side of battery compartment- leave the wires attached, just separate the rubber mounts and leave it dangling
- remove air filter
- remove 4 bolts holding down the airbox (2 up top, one on each side)
- Pull upward to separate box from throttle bodies
- twist box to get to bottom and remove plug to idle control valve, hose to secondary air system (between box and valve cover), and the 3 vacuum hoses from the idle control valve splitter.
Got all plastic off.weather not good. Air box tomorrow.There is no reset procedure. Every time you turn the key off it resets itself (you should be able to hear it moving).

I thought there was a throttle reset after battery removal.
Thanks for response.
Have Mokkybear instructions as well
Check the breather pipes (two narrow gauge rubber pipes connected to the bottom of the airbox) aren't kinked and don't kink when the airbox is placed back in position. One of mine had been replaced by a previous owner by a length of petrol pipe, rather than the shaped OE part, and it "folded" when the airbox was pushed back down, stopping airflow and causing the bike to stall when it was cold
Pretty sure this is what you're looking for:Got all plastic off.weather not good. Air box tomorrow.

1. Turn key to "ON" position (but don't start engine).
2. Fully open throttle and hold for 5 secs.
3. Fully release throttle and hold for 5 secs.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 four times (total of 5 sequences).
5. Turn key to "OFF" position.
Sent bike to Max BMW.
Turns out they diagnosed fuel pressure sensor.
700 $ later.

I am tired of throwing money at it .
