Default No throttle!!!!

So i'm getting reading to head south tomorrow for our vacation on the bikes. Getting everything ready. Washed my 2012 Limited and now it wont run. Like i have done a thousand times before but now its a mess. I finally get it started but i have no throttle. Any ideas?????? Pulled the plugs and they look good.

Question Tbw?

What have you done, besides washing, to you motorcycle lately?
New bars, grips, anything near or to do with the wiring for the TBW?
(TBW = Throttle By Wire)

Nothing but washing it. Rode it today about 250 miles. Cooled. Washed it. cleaned the air filter and changed all the fluids. Now it wont start. Like something is wet.

Disconnect the harness from the left side of the throttle body. Clean the pins in the plug with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol. Apply dielectric grease to pins and squish some in the pin holes on other connector and reconnect. Hope this helps.

^^^Also, unplug the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) plug from behind your A/C and do the same "clean & grease" process...^^^

You got water somewhere it shouldn't be...

We just went through this with a buddys bike. The no.33 pin of the ecm had some corrosion. Scraped it a bit with a knife, greased er up and away he went.

Yep. Buddy of mine has problems with his ECM connectors but his wont crank at all when it does it.

Throttle Position Sensor is what I was trying to say too. Just wouldn't come to me.
