Resistor mod

Blowndodge.......(or others feel free to join in)
I believe you can answer the question will the resistor mod help or cure an off idle "stumbling" issue?
If bike was carb, probably could adjust out, but being FI, don't have a clue except add fuel processor

Doesn't happen all the time, but enough that I want to do whatever to cure

Resistor mod

The resistor mod doesn't do much if anything about off idle stumbling. Adjusting the idle higher or as I did, because I didn't like a fast idling bike, adjust the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) to a slightly higher value. Mine stock was set 4.40 stock and I bumped it to 4.43 and it never stalls anymore.

BD, how does one go about adjusting the TPS? What is the procedure?
