I cut out the green connector and solder the wires, then heat shrink....no problem....just don't mix them up...cut and make one connection at a time
All this talk about the TBW wires being too thin to solder is BS....they are just wires and nothing magical about them.

i do notice one thing is that it seams to be idleing high, around 1200 ish could this be from the TGS or due to the fact i put an AC on and big radius pipes on without a tune yet?
ive got a power vision ordered and will be in tomorrow i hope should this take care of the problem?

Interesting.. I thought the same about mine when I fired it up the first time.
I chalked it up to the new grips or something else, but I was happy that all my wiring worked.
I wouldnt be to concerned until you get your PV installed..
I have not had it running for any period of time yet to dive into it... please update us on what you find.
any error codes?

There is a procedure for reseting the TBW. I know it is to be followed when installing a new TBW, but maybe it is to be followed when re-installing the original too? Not sure the procedure. Think it's ignition on, kill switch on (presurize fuel injection), and off. Three times in a row. Think it resets throttle which likely could affect idle. Not sure it's what is going on but could be...

boss, i used +8 and the length fit perfect
dmize, ill get back about the idle after the PV is on
dew, thanks for the info i think ill search for that and how to clear the old codes from the tbw connector not being connected. im fairly confident once i get the tuner on it should take care of my idle it runs real rough bouncing constantly from about 1100-1300 ish and wont settle on an idle speed im thinking before i tore it apart it idled around 1000.
update, cleared codes and reset computer, idled at 1300 for about 30-45 sec then slowly dropped to 1000, still bounces constantly from 1000-1100 roughly and im sure that can be taken care of from loading the tune cant wait for it to come in!

so if that green connector wont make it thru the Yaffe MBB's......what will? is it just a connector for wires or is there something inside that connector that is vital to TBW? Curious to what my dealer will do when he installs my bars.
