[QUOTE="Luillo69, post: 16623775, member: 197835"] I don't think those bushing make any difference. I think the shaft that holds the internal gears binds in the plastic case of the electronic motor and the gears need lube. I just did another 1-2 hours ride in traffic and highway and nothing to report. The issue as far as i can tell is gone 100%. You are correct, KB sends the TB for repair and have them manufacture by an outsource company. My issue is that my 1 week brand new TB is not to be considered used, it is to be considered under warrantee if is not correctly functioning. They pretty much sold me a defective product. The real issue is the Quality control or marketing section is not on point. If the marketing section is made aware of this issues by using their customer satisfaction research section, they would find that there is an issue in their QA section. It is as of now an easy, easy fix. either better installation instructions or warnings against over tighten and proper lubrication or a minor clearance adjustment during manufacturing. Their TB binds somewhere and that is the issue 100% no doubt. There is no tuning to chase for my situation and those of many other. The datalog shows pedal activity but the TB is stuck and not responding. Other might have different issues. Surges are a different case in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
