Dude; I am glad I stumbled onto this video. I just bought a CRF300L and put about 70 miles on it on two rides. The dealer charged for set up and really only put about .5 of a gallon of gas in it and I guess mounted the mirrors?, basically that was it. My tires were at 32psi, my throttle was way too slack, and twitchy, I could turn the throttle 1/4 turn before the throttle plate moved. So I was planning on adjusting it but knew nothing about the reset for the TPS. Thanks for posting this.
@phantomshtter I just bought a 13K km 300L with an horrible twitchy throttle. I'm a proud member of the Internet Idiots crowd. I went all in with a full exhaust and Stage 1 550 ECU. Parts haven't arrived yet. Then I read yesterday about the 2 steps procedure (cable/TPS reset) you explain here so well. OMG cable was wayyyyyyyyyy too slack... I hope there are other advantages with the bling bling I just bought cause that was it with this FREE FIX. Thanks man!!!
Same on my side - after 3TKM no jerky throttle anymore - runs very smooth even on low speed - and torque is somehow better than many friends experience with their new CRFs...
Well made video and a lot of awsome knowledge delivered like a garage wrench-turner would: straight to the point no bullshit. Thanks, got yourself a subscribe 👍
What about a throttle tamer? I adjusted the slack in the cable, which was the biggest improvement. I did the 87 stock improved tune at about 1k miles. I did throttle reset, and I have 2500 miles on this bike, but I feel like it’s still a little jerky than it should be. I’ve gotten use to it, and I would never sell it, but if there is any way to make it better, I’ll definitely do it. I haven’t found anyone who can speak on the G2 throttle tamer yet...
@@airadaimagery692 I really don't believe a throttle tamer will address the issue. For me it is more of an "on-off" light switch kinda feel at the throttle engagement point, like it's a programming or mapping issue. It seems the worst around the 4k and lower rpm range. When rpms are dropping from deceleration and then your held throttle position meets back up with the falling revs, theres the "bump". It seems to me that you cannot roll back onto the throttle smoothly, almost no matter how much you finesse it. I think it's a poor EFI system or something in the fuel mapping or fuel delivery. Like theres not enough input points in the bottom end mapping? Throttle Tamers are for the snappy performance 450s and such that are chomping to get off the line. This isn't really even 300cc and by no means ever requiring that kinda delicate wielding of the throttle. I notice the on-off twitchy symptom even when I am holding the throttle perfectly stationary and steady at cruising speeds on the road. Any downhill grade especially or any small rolling hills kinda road. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it's a symptom of letting the goddamn EPA have their way with how these modern bikes consume and expel. 550 claims that they negate the "off throttle fuel cut" that is built in on these but idk, my bike still feels like when you drop the throttle that it completely stops drinking. I don't know that I'll ever buy any EFI bikes after this experience honestly and what the epa is doin to new bikes. They're coming with substantially less rideability, reliability and are requiring more and more modifications to even run properly. I come from 100% carbed bikes previously and I instantly and sorely missed the butter smooth fuel delivery of that world. This jumpy, twitching, stuttering business all the time is frankly abysmal if you're a perceptive person whos in any kind of tune with their machine. I've heard from owners that say they don't have any kind of twitchy symptoms, but I know damn well there's oodles of oblivious people out there stumbling through existence, they have no perception and don't really pick up on anything remotely subtle. At the end of the day there's also the factor that it is a chain driven platform, there is always a slight bit of a "bump" when the countershaft sprocket engages the chain, but that's not our issue here. I was actually told a couple weeks ago by a guy that once he dropped the factory exhaust for a free-flowing aftermarket one, the symptom finally disappeared. He had done all the other stuff and I think a tamer too. I have a Moto X v.1 here now ready to swap on when it gets cold.

"Consumer drones" 😄 Well said.

The problem is euro 5 throttle maping, not cable.
Thanks for the video worked just as you said 100% better thank you.

getting shit from a dealership is the most drone thing possible
