The 30 sec on and off is for NON-TBW TMaxs. Also the TBW bikes don't have a IAC. It isn't the TSSM. I can actually start the bike, it just dies immediately. last night I started it and grabbed the throttle and it actually kept the bike running if I let go it stalled. So I did some more research and found this:

I have the exact same issue as the individual in the second post. I guess I will just rev the engine and hope for the best. If it isn't an ecu error than I think the problem is that zippers doesn't have a base map for my setup and therefore the bike will not idle correctly, at least until it gets adjusted by the ECU correctly. I will attempt to ride it this weekend and post if anything comes out of it.

The TBW initialization is ign on, run sw on for 20-30 seconds, ign off, ign on, start run for 20 seconds switch off, restart and run to temp.... or close to that from memory... have you tried the TBW procedure?
