For you Zforce 950 HO owners who do not like the Low speed limiter which in my opinion and most others was a very dumb limiter to add , it ( really limits ) the machine on hill climbs and in mud holes , you have a very simple fix - way around it , For Free..

Let me clarify something 1st  , this mod isn't for people to be running Low Gear just cruising above 20 mph , you should be in High Gear for that if your running primarily above 20 mph , (this mod is to give you that extra speed you need to keep momentum up to make that hill climb , or to keep your momentum up in a mud hole like us None Ho 950 guys can..

Pull Pass seat , remove panel thats over Ecu , there is 2 plugs that plug into Ecu , the large one is the one your after , ( # 24 ) on that plug , picture will show it here in post , it will have a ( Yellow Wire/Blue Stripe ) running into it , un pin that wire from plug so it can easily just be slipped back in if you would ever want to re connect it for some weird reason in the future , you could cut it also and would be easier but me personally I'd pull it - disconnect it from the connector that way no hacking up anything but that's your choice..
That is just the wire that tells your Ecu you are in ( Low Gear ) , works the same as your Reverse limiter , the Gear position sensor , L , H , N , R and P just gives ( the ground ) when you shift to each Gear , so removing that wire , the Ecu simply don't know it's in Low Gear  , Yea its that simple.. Sets no codes or anything..

For guys that are worried about warranty , you can wait till after if you want , but unplugging a wire is less invasive then guys splicing into the harness adding lights and things. You can always plug it back In if you'd have to.
Hope this helps you guys.

Since Cfmoto doesn't provide us with any TPS specs I was able to figure the zforce 800 tps out through testing I did. If you are getting P0122 or P0123 Codes and you'd like to test the tps to see what is going on . Here you go.
You'll need a digital voltmeter and set it to its lowest setting which on mine is 20 volt.
Next you will need to unplug the TPS and find the Brown/yellow wire which is the signal wire. You can take a small paper clip and bend it so top is like a T shape making it easier to use. Now take the paper clip and back probe the brown/yellow wire on plug. Take the p clip and slide it in along the wire till you feel it contact the connector in plug. This may take you a cple tries. Once you think you got it , part thats sticking out of plug , bend it so you can plug the TPS back in. Make sure the p clip isn't up against metal where it can short something out. Now take your Black lead and ground it to the engine or I simply stick mine into the 10mm bolt hole that fastens bed engine cover.  Go turn the Key to ON POSITION ENGINE OFF. 
Now take the RED lead and touch the paper clip. You should see .43 - .46 volts at Idle. If you dont , take the 2 screws in tps and loosen them up so you can move tps , holes are egg shaped so tps can be adjusted. Move tps around till you get it to the above voltage range.  Once you get it to the above specs , .44 volt is dead on , now take a long walking stick/ broom handle and reach throttle pedal and push wide open.  Now you should read 4.59 - 4.62 on the volt meter. If you cant get these voltage readings , your TPS is junk and Cfmoto only option is to replace whole throttle body at close to $500. 00. I will be possibly offering a Tps in the near future for a great price once testing is completed.
Tighten down the 2 screws and retest tps to make sure it didnt move.

Solid Brown wire is reference wire or input from ECU and should have at minimum 5.00 volts coming in.
White wire is just a ground.

The Tps has to be dead on or engine will not run proper. Even few mm off adjustment the ecu cant properly fuel the engine or no where the throttle butterfly plate is. If the TPS Is set proper and idle air control valve plunger is clean , idle should never need tampered with , after all it is controlled fully by Ecu and should never be adjusted otherwise unless you know what your doing and these other listed things have been tested and are ok.

Without a hour meter how do you know roughly how many hours are on the machine ? Before i start getting on it harder . Im at 108 miles now and 3rd tank gas , dealer said 3 tanks till i change break in oil . There may be a post about this so if there is, just attach a link to it please .
