Here is another HOW-TO post from the zx14ninja.com forum. It was made by Raptor14 on 7/22/2007.
For those of you installing Power Commanders, don't neglect to calibrate the Throttle Position Setting using the Power Commander software. I know a few guys who did not do this. In addition, I recently rechecked mine and found that it was not set correctly. Not sure if I screwed up the first time, played with a map and forgot to calibrate it myself, or if something changed. After calibration my decel pop was significantly reduced and in some cases didn't occur at all. Further the part power throttle response seemed to be slightly better. For those who don't know how to do this, you need to plug the PC into a laptop. You can only set the TPS when it is on the bike. Here's my procedure:
1. Plug the PC into the laptop. Install the 9V battery to power up the PC.
2. Start the bike and let it warm up and reach its normal idle. If you try to calibrate the TPS on a cold engine you will get an incorrect calibration. At this point the PC will run without the 9V battery but leave it there. It will be necessary later.
3. Open the Power Commander software. If the current map is not downloaded and displayed automatically select GET MAP.
4. With the map displayed select POWER COMMANDER TOOLS > SET THROTTLE POSITION.
4. With the bike running and the engine at idle push the "<" button to set the 0% throttle to the value read from the bikes electonic signal.
5. The following 3 second rule may or may not be applicable anymore but I still use it. You can do as you wish. Perform the following actions, in order, in a 3 second period: (1) turn the engine off using the kill switch, not the key, (2) with the engine NOT running fully open the throttle, and (3) hit the ">" button in the Dynojet software display to set the 100% throttle position to the value read from the bikes electronic signal. To insure that the Power Commander is working you have to have installed the 9V battery.
6. Start the engine and verify that the TPS readout in the DJ software is 0% at idle and that the rpm display is matching that of your tach. Turn the engine off and open the throttle fully. Verify that the TPS readout is now 100%. Close the throttle halfway and verify that the TPS readout is 50%. You are now good to go.
Note that the fuel map is a function of rpm and throttle position. If you have not calibrated the throttle position you may not be running the fuel adjustments as intended by the map.
