Welcome to the forum R65:wave

If the bike was fine before the battery change, the most common hiccup is when the tank was lifted the throttle cable ferule came out of the throttle body...usually the right side. It will sit just on edge of adjuster and cause all sorts of oddball behavior.

Typically no reset of any sort is needed. The turn key on, roll throttle slowly on/off full range three times for the TPS sensor to learn range has always been one of those things you try as well. Seemed it worked better on certain Motoronic versions than others. We have a few different versions and I try it when changing the battery instead of remembering which model I'm dealing with.

Welcome

Look for this on the right throttle body
