Does anyone know a reliable and accurate method to tell what TP you are at?
I would like to adjust my map for cruising from 3.5-4.7K RPM, and only adjust in the TP range for cruising. That should be a fairly low TP graph.
Thanks.

You mean, ride at your rpm range, take a sharpie in left hand and now mark where the throttle is positioned?
You mean, mark the throttle throw in half, now mark half and half in half again until I have enough marks to number them and read watt number I am at WOT rpm?
You mean, move the TP on the bike to dial in more low end?
No, not gonna make too much headway if you mess with the TPS.
Yes, if you mean you found where in the software grid the throttle position is and now wet/dry that spray rpm range to my (+/-) lean cruise grid boxes?

Hub,
"You mean, ride at your rpm range, take a sharpie in left hand and now mark where the throttle is positioned?

Exactly! Great idea and simple. Then I can take that TP range for the 3.5 K - 4.7 K RPM range and input it into the map based upon the RPM and the now 'known' TP range, and lean out the A/F for cruise MPG, without effecting the other non-cruise cells.
Thank you. I will do it.
Gracias mai!

There is a way of measuring low throttle position using your PCIII, assuming you have one. E.g. If you are cruising (constant speed) at 3000rpm, hold the throttle still and pull in the clutch, the engine revs will climb a little (maybe 5000ish rpm). Note the rpm. When you get back home, lift the seat, warm the engine, leave it in neutral, increase the throttle until you achieve the rpm observed earlier and take TP reading from the PCIII.
This assume the PCII TPS is calibrated for your bike.
