Default Tps problem I think

I just started my bike after installing heads cams and throttle body and new tmax

When I start the bike it fires up just fine but when I go to give it gas it dies every time. The guys at thunder max are thinking that I have a bad tps module

Has anyone else ever experienced this

Gone through 3 TPS sensors and never did that.
Have you tried disconecting the t-max? Gotta be something you over looked. Did it have an issue prior?

No prior issues but I did all this work at once. I haven't disconnected the tmax. On the tmax gauges screen it says raw fuel 1. They say it should be around 75 and jump to as much as 200

If your talking about the tbw setup every time I've had an issue it would idle but not rev up much above 1200 rpms plus or minus.

Maybe a bad intake leak. Fog around the intake with propane and see if it picks up rpm.
