Default Trottle Position Sensor Help!!

Long story short...just changed my bars, engine light comes on after 20 minutes. I've done lots of reading and its probably the TPS. My question is....will it be safe to ride in Sturgis? I leave in 2 days and don't want to get stuck. The engine light comes on but, it has not gone into limp mode. Anybody ridden with this problem? Just need to make it through Sturgis. Thanks Guys and Gals!!!!

2135 is a TPS correlation error, probably related to the replacement of your bars and the dreaded "green plug".

1511 throttle actuator control power management failure of throttle control actuator and is normally related to a bad connection on the plug behind your A/C, that you can disconnect, clean and reconnect.

When I changed my bars I did get error codes, went into limp mode and lost throttle control. I would not want to go on a long ride with that hanging over my head.
