Ok a week ago I installed a SC-Projects slip on exhaust to my bike and according to there site there is no tune required.
Ok after the install the idle jumps a bit and it seemed to even out at times but it still jumps at idle in fact this morning I did have the bike just kill after letting it warm up before I head of to work. SC says that the o2 sensors need some miles to adjust.
Well today I decided to just unplug the o2 sensors and what do you know the idle is now smooth. But when I did that which I knew I would get a engine code I'm also getting a TMC code for the traction control so is that some how tied into the o2 sensors ?
Last part here I'm going to order a set of Fueling Dongles from Rottweiler for my fix so in the meantime should I just plug the o2 sensors back in or am I good to ride my bike as is and also have I gone about this fix the whole wrong way ?
Thanks for reading and looking forward to your reply.

I did a similar thing a while back and also got the TMC error. I think it's a software bug. Traction control still worked ok. O2 elims will fix it.

Ok truth or not I was told that I should let the bike idle for 15 minutes with out touching the throttle and the problem is solved ?

The "right" way to do this is, after you've installed the O2 elims, have your dealer "Delete Adaptive Parameters" and then do the "10 minute reset": start bike (bike needs to be cold) and let it idle for at least 10 minutes without touching the throttle. Turn it off.
The dealer thing is a hassle but several on here have found that the reset doesn't work unless you do that.

Most of the guys on the FB group are here too.
Start the bike.
Don't touch the throttle for 15 mins.
Hopefully it'll help. Otherwise like Redtale says, go to dealer to reset params.

For the millionth time!
It's 10 min for the 1290!
The 15 min was for the 990

I did let the bike idle for 15 minutes, turned it off and seems to be better but still a small jump in the idle.
