SETTING TPS -Anybody have any straight and simple guidelines on how to do this yourself. Without having to go to dealer and get everything torn apart.
Need procedure and help on how to set TPS on 09 Dragon rmk

SETTING THE T.P.S.
T.P.S. CHECKING & RE-SETTING PROCEDURE
1) Purchase the $ 50.00 T.P.S. Tool available from your POLARIS Dealer PART # 2201519-A or build a tester for $10.00 with parts from Radio Shack, look @ the "INCREASING YOUR IQ" thread @ the top of the IQ forum, all the info is there. Then go to the 900 Section, there's a neat video that walks you through the process. Thanks to mountainhorse and the full monte for providing that info.
2) In addition to the T.P.S. Tester, (which utilizes a simple 9-volt battery & 5-volt regulator) you'll need a HIGH QUALITY DIGITAL voltmeter. Check and double check to make sure you have 5.000 volts BEFORE you start the process! Swap out batteries if need be.
3) When setting the T.P.S. on C.F.I.'s, the throttle valves MUST BE FULLY CLOSED, (as in backing off the idle speed screw) then set it @ .70 volts +/-.01 volts for the 600/700/800
4) After that, turn the idle speed screw until the voltmeter reads .94 - .95 volts +/- .01 but this varies with model.
5) Using an analog style volt meter, gradually open and close the throttle and watch the voltmeter move gradually, erratic readings indicate a faulty T.P.S.
Hope this helps

I bought the ecu power up cable from SLP part #20-212 for $25. This works great if you dont mind doing it on the sled. I just flip my t-bodies up on the head and back probe the tps at the connector. The power up cable is also nice if you replace your fuel filter you can hook it up to pressurize the fuel system.
I'm all about doing your own work, but my dealer charges less than 1 hour of labor time to put a machine on the computer and do the full engine check, including all sensors, set the TPS and idle. For the once in a while I need to have it done on a sled, that is a much better option.

GET 'ER DONE !
As long as the dealer is actually re-setting the T.P.S. that's fine.
Simply hooking the sled up to the digital wrench (as some dealers do) doesn't get the job done correctly.

TPS BASELINE RE--SETTING PROCEDURE
The TPS comes set from the factory and should not need any adjustments. If replacing a TPS or resetting the TPS, Polaris has
developed a TPS test kit for aid in setting the Throttle Position Sensor to specification.
1. Assemble your TPS sensor tool (PN 2201519) as per the instructions that came with the tool.
2. Make sure your 9 volt battery is in good condition by inserting the black voltmeter probe from your Fluketmeter in the black
terminal and the red probe into the pink terminal. Voltage should read 4.99 to 5.01 volts. If not, try a new 9 volt battery.
3. Insert the red voltmeter lead into the terminal above the pink wire, and the black meter lead to the terminal above the black
wire. Slowly open throttle and check for smooth voltage change.
NOTE: The Fluke meter will change scales and show O.L. momentarily when throttle is opening.
4. Remove the throttle cable in order to take the slack out of the cable.
5. Back off the idle lock nut counterclockwise and then back out the idle adjuster (A) counterclockwise until the screw tip (B)
separates from the adjusted lever tab.
6. Turn the synchronization screw (C) counterclockwise until the synchronization lever is touching the synchronization screw
hole (D) tab.
7. Remove the connector from the TPS on the throttle body and install TPS sensor tool on to the TPS.
8. Place a shop towel under the throttle body incase you loose grip on the spring or thread a small wire around it if it should fall.
9. Remove the synchronization lever tab spring (E) and gently open and then close the throttle plateswith the throttle, allowing
the plate to close gently. Note the voltage at this point.
10. Insert the synchronization lever tab spring and screw.
11. Turn the synchronization screw clockwise until the volt meter reads the voltage level that you noted in step #8.
12. Loosen screws on the TPS sensor (F).
13. Adjust the TPS sensor until the voltage on the volt meter reads .705 -- .715 volts.
14. Tighten the TPS retaining screws, making sure that the voltage continues to read .705 -- .715 volts.
15. Turn the idle set screw clockwise until the voltage reads .930 volts.
16. Voltage at the yellow terminal should be .920 -- .940 volts at idle. Once the TPS voltage is verified and set, remove the sensor
tool and re--install the TPS harness

Ok
First you need to loosen or unhook the throttle cable off the throttle bodies.
then you need to back off the idle set bolt and nut so there is no pressure on it.
then hook your tps tool back up and check it you should be some where between the .70 and .715 that is the tps baseline. very IMPORTANT.
if that is out of adjustment the you need to loosen the tps and adjust it to the
.70 .715 when there tighten the tps down.
then start to tightn the idle bolt down till it reads the .920 to .940. then your there you done.
tighten the throttle cable back up and good to go.
