*all I want to know is how someone else w an 18 450 adjusted this hidden sensor, hopefully without pulling the subframe and basically whole bike apart*
Ok, so apparently I need to increase the v slightly on my new 18 450sxf because it stalls if you look at it sideways, very slight pop on deceleration and the biggest thing as being super jerky on/off throttle transition all pointing to the bike being lean.
Watched the videos and im like ok this is easy, just need to slightly twist the thing and go in .02v increments, go out to garage look at bike and there's this cover over it where you cannot access the 2nd screw holding it on. I took off the lower screw and just bent the entire cover to get partial access to the sensor and loosened the one torx screw but it appears that you need the other sides torx screw to be loose to adjust.
am I missing something obvious here?

I spoke to Tokyo mods and they insist not to mess with it on these bikes comapared to older ones. Other people have done it, but it's easy to try the idle first
As another note, I got itnup on 4th gear and went down a long hill intentionally no throttle to double check for popping and it does do the occasional decel pop.
Sent the ecu to Tokyo and 20 mins after USPS said it arrived, I got the call to go over my setup. 10 mins later USPS says it's on its way.
The whole process took 4 days door to door, cost $106 and the bike runs amazing ever since.
The Shop
I had to rotate the throttle body in order to access the 2nd screw on the cover.
Did you buy the TPS pigtail/adapter thing?
Migjt be worth buying the TPS tool to measure the voltage but maybe not adjust until you've checked everything out and talked with Tokyo
Takes a couple minutes to check. Mine came from the factory at almost .49 v and I bumped it to .62 or around that. Its hard to get it perfect because its so sensitive to movement but you can easily get it in the ball park.
I'm currently running a Vortex mapped by Tokyo Mods.
With the idle correctly at factory spec set you should be able to idle the bike in 1st gear with your hand off the throttle and on flat ground the bike should just easily chug along and not flame-out or stall.
It was like this right after I adjusted the TPS. Before it would easily flame out at only .49v.
I have added the FMF full exhaust, screenless filter cage and Vortex. The Vortex really didn't add any noticeable power over the stock re-mapped ECU.
Is your TPS set above .60 volts?
Maybe You can ask him to leave the current map you’re using on there also.
Another thing I learned from Chad at XPR motorsports is to reduce fuel from the trim adjusters every +3,000ft in elevation. Or with very cold abnormal temps you can add fuel.
