Just replaced my battery...

[Finbarr]

After six years, my battery has finally given up the ghost. I've replaced it already, but a vague recollection from these fine pages reminds me there is a throttle position sensor reset of some description required - I've searched the site for the last hour, but can't find any posts related to this - can someone remind me of the procedure and if there is anything else that I need to do to 'reset' the bike after a total power failure?

Kind regards,
Finbarr.

switch bike on, do not start, rotate the throttle fully twice and then switch off.....IIRC

And check the throttle cables are seated properly too.

Suppose the first question is whats wrong with it? If it runs fine and works you don't need to reset anything.

I was doing some electrical work on the 1150 last week, took the battery out. Other than reseting the clock didn't have to do anything and it ran sweet when I took it for a ride.

You also have to pull fuse 3 again iirc.

Don't worry about anything - All this three twists is a load of old bollox usually posted by those with all their mechanical knowledge gained off the internet.

Your bike will do any resetting automatically within 5 minutes of riding.

the first 4 minutes are a bit tricky though

Blimey, there is less wrist turning and complications in the Masons !!

Fuse three...fuse five...brown this...red that...think I'll return to an airhead

Yebbut then you have to say prayers and sacrifice chickens etc if you want them to stop

Many thanks all - I'll just get on with riding the damn thing then!
