Engine light is off.  12 minute tune did not help.  Bike still running a little rough.  Coming off throttle or blip-ping it cause it have a rough idle (low RPM chugging) and then comes back to a more normal after  20 seconds or so.  Seems like I need to get the cable for running a tune and go from there.  Right?

Cable+TuneEcu is a must have for several (simple) tasks: checking for fault codes, doing a tps reset (very useful), uploading a new map (after saving your current one). About tps reset, read this post: http://www.tigertriple.com/forum/index.php/topic,8852.0.html

TPS reset is worth a go, but make sure it's warmed up first.  I did mine a while back when it was behaving like yours and completely buggered it up.  Took me ages to get it started and settled down again.

Before resetting the TPs, I would have a look at this and give it a try:

The 12 minute tune is for non-O2 sensor bikes, this process is for is for later Girlies that have the O2 sensor fitted.  It also seems that the clutch lever should be released, not pulled, although I still haven't heard from Tom one way or the other. Having said that, they have changed the TuneECU website to reflect the exact wording from the manual since I raised it with them.
