Touchy throttle

[TURBLUE]

Just curious if this is a thing on a viper or something is up. When it’s idling and you touch the throttle with any quickness it dies. If you roll into it slow it totally fine. I haven’t rode the sled yet besides down the back alley.
TPS in the diagnostic mode reads as it should. It’s a 2014 xtx

I don’t remember the sidewinder doing this.

thanks

Is your idle set to spec?

I checked the throttle cable free play. It wasn’t tight enough to reset the tors switch. Seem good now. Thanks. Man I searched last night but couldn’t find anything...of course now I see info on this issue of free play.

Was it totally warmed up? Fresh gas?

 

[TURBLUE]

Totally warmed up yes. Fresh gas no. Siphoned the tank but haven’t topped it up. Adjusting the throttle cable definitely made a difference, but will see when I get out.

If that is your red MTX in the pic, looks like it has been boosted. If so, that might be a contributor.
Stale gas ignites slower, therefore it responds slower. Might try fresh oxygenated gas before doing anything else.

Yeah it’s a 190 MCX.... Stock compression. Will do.
