[Shane]

she was running irregular at regular speeds, so i replaced the spark plug wires and put new spark plugs in her, but problem still persists. idles fine but accelleration and reg running speed she is irregular.
and check engine light comes on.
and what kind of warranty should i have on her? lol

2010 buell xb9sx.

[Shane]

im hoping that it is an easy fix and that i dont have to bring it to the stealership.

[anrkizm95]

have you checked for codes?

[Shane]

yeah i saw the thread on checking codes, and COULD NOT understand! lol wtf is a jumper wire? and where is this plug located?? lol

[anrkizm95]

the connector is under the seat a jumper wire is a piece of wire that is bare on both ends that is used to touch both pins on the connector

excelent. i will try this in the morning. thank you!

[Shane]

are the pics out of the XB maunal? i cant understand the flash codes

[Shane]

its a code 13 O2 sensor. does that mean it isnt connected? or i need new ones?

[anrkizm95]

yes they are.when the light starts to flash it will flash 6 times fast this lets you know it has started the diagnostic mode.
after the 6 flashes you will have a 2 sec pause the next set of flashes will be the first digit this set flashes slower than the first.
say the first number is a 3 the light will flash 3 times with a 1 sec pause between each flash.so the first number is 3.
there will be a 2 sec pause between the first and second numbers.
say the second number is a 4 following the 2 sec pause the light will flash 4 times with a 1 sec pause between each flash.so the second number is a 4.
code will be 34.
then it will flash 6 times to let you know it is exiting diagnostic mode.
so when you have the jumper wire in place turn on the key and kill switch the light will flash 6 times then a 1 sec pause then flash 3 times then a 2 sec pause then flash 4 times for a code 34.if there is only 1 code it will flash 6 times fast for exit

LMAO, OOPS, i have been drinking

[anrkizm95]

its a code 13 O2 sensor. does that mean it isnt connected? or i need new ones? check to make sure its connected remove the seat and locate the o2 at the rear header tube about 3 inches from the head.

[Shane]

where do the 02 wires go? under the seat?

[anrkizm95]

when you remove the seat you can see the o2 follow the wire about 4 inches until you see the connector

[uly luigi]

I don't think he knows what an O2 sensor is.

you can see it in this pic lower right of the big hole under the spring on the header tube

[anrkizm95]

i think your 2010 has 2 one on each tube

[Shane]

correct it has one on each tube. but the rear cyl O2 sensor is impossible to take off.

[anrkizm95]

but the rear cyl O2 sensor is impossible to take off. you need a 7/8 crows foot.
it would be rare that you o2 is bad already.its more likely that its unplugged,you are running lean or running rich.

very easy to access for testing or to see if its plugged in this is my 09 pic shows connector and o2

[Shane]

ok just put in a order for bosch O2 sensors part# 12014. and a sensor wrench. just seems strange that the O2 sensor would go out after only 15k miles
