Alright, well I got home today and everything worked well without issues. I am starting to think that the problem with the gauges is a time/voltage reset issue. I have not messed with anything and now they are working fine without change if I start playing with connections. I bolted the exhaust on a while ago with RTV so I will see if she starts tomorrow after I get off work.
 
Again, I haven't touched it since Sunday, when I gave up for the day. My cousin called and asked if I wanted to head up to the tail of the dragon next month, so I went out to play with it. I turned it on, and the gauges cycled fine every time I turned the bike off and back on. I have gone out a few times, and the startup seems to be the same every time. I will be prepping the bike so I can ride this weekend or next week, assuming all stays the same. Hopefully, the answer was as dumb as that. But now I will deal with the leaking oil filter and put it all the way back together to see if the new engine will actually run and drive. Fingers crossed.
 
Well, I got home and started playing with the bike. I tried to start it, and it continued to turn over without firing. When I turned the bike on, I realized the fuel pump wasn't priming. So I swapped out the relays, and it worked fine, so I will be getting new relays tomorrow after work.
It still didn't want to idle once I figured it out, so I used the TuneECU app to take a look at the sensors. I didn't think to take a screenshot or recording of the stats, but the TPS is sitting at 2%, and the idle seems to be set to below 500. Once it's warmed up, it will idle at around 750 and "lope."
I let it run for a few minutes and got up to 180 degrees before I turned it off. But I grabbed, twisted, pulled, moved, and took any other potential action on the wiring harness to see if something bad happened. Nothing showed up or showed issues through any plug I played with or action taken. Tomorrow, I will fix the relays, fill the radiator with water, and work on any other issues that may be a problem while it's running. That is after I work an extra 6 hours on Saturday.

You're going to have to adjust that TPS, that may be all that's left to smooth out the engine.
 
Well, running TuneECU on my tablet was a failure. I tried both 2.5.5 and 2.5.8 but neither would connect to the dongle and gave me a failed to connect to port4. But the phone worked great. Both of the sensors are way out of alignment but I dont have a 7mm wrench so I will grab one tomorrow when I head back into town. In the meantime, I want to study up more on how the programming side of TuneECU works so I can remove the powercommander once I get the bike running correctly.
 
I may receive some heat on this post
I would forget about adjusting with 7mm wrench i think that measurement is just ballpark setting
Just do it with the reset iscv according to tuneecu

Well, the TuneECU wants the first adjustment close to 0.600 +- 0.02 and mine read .786ish if I remember correctly. The second adjustment is 0.720 +-0.02 and it was 0.586ish. So assuming those voltages are correct, they are way off what is needed to reset the iscv. If it was close to the 0.720, I wouldn't worry about it. But I am dealing with a bike that has a power commander on it with an unknown tune. But that tune is leaner than the stock program because if I pull the PC out of the system, it backfires quite bad on decel. That being said, the bike lopes at idle since I have had it but watching more videos, I notice everyone else bikes idle smoothly rather than sitting at a lower rpm with a lope.
