Throttle mapping changes how the twist feels; it does not repair a faulty signal. Check startup conditions and wiring first, then use the documented Kelly settings to understand dead zones and response.
Throttle Optimization and Fault Behavior
Default throttle uses limited range.
| Setting | Default | Optimized |
|---|---|---|
| TPS Dead Low | 20 | 5 |
| TPS Dead High | 80 | 95 |
TPS Dead Low and TPS Dead High define how much of the throttle signal is ignored at the beginning and end of the twist.
- Lowering
TPS Dead Lowmakes throttle engagement begin earlier. - Raising
TPS Dead Highallows more of the upper throttle range to be used. - Together, these settings increase usable throttle travel and reduce the compressed feel of the stock setup.
This changes throttle feel more than peak power.
On stock throttles, setting TPS Dead Low too low can make initial response too abrupt or inconsistent. If the bike feels overly sensitive right off idle, add some dead zone back.
TPS Forw MAP changes how response is distributed across the throttle sweep.
Typical behavior:
- Around
30gives a more logarithmic feel, with stronger response earlier in the twist. - Around
50feels more linear and predictable. - Around
70gives a more exponential feel, with softer early response and more output later in the twist.
This is mainly a ride-feel adjustment, not a fix for hardware problems.
Throttle Fault Logic
The controller expects a valid throttle range.
Fault conditions:
- throttle active at startup -> no output
- voltage outside expected range -> fault
- inconsistent signal -> intermittent cutoff
Symptoms:
- bike powers on but does not move
- throttle cuts in and out
- delayed throttle response
