    HELP! My 2005 XB9R keeps shutting off!

    Usually a Temperature Sensor will not stall engine unless the fan is broken and Engine heat reaches its limit due to overheating .The FUSE Would Blow as long as correct fuse has been installed TOO many keys on the Key rings can damage switches. IF your Fan is operating correctly most times...

    Pulling to left

    That IS as long as your Tyres are in good shape. IF a lot of Uneven wear is already on the Front tire then that will need to be addressed once you set up the suspension AND is correct on the front. Take your time with handling issues.Jimi

    Throttle "sticking"

    Glad it was just a simple fix. Seen that many times when an aftermarket set of bar ends or a different throttle tube usually aftermarket was installed incorrectly. Sometimes you can just ease the adapter out slightly and it will return quickly as needed. That way the Rubber Throttle Grip wont...

    oil....

    There are many oils riders like to use. The AmsOil products seem to hold up a little better than some of the conventional oils.The 20/50 in the engine is ok. I use 20/60 AmsOil in the Engines and the Redline in the Tranny OR primary (Transmission) so it Protects the Inner Crank seals better due...

    blown fuse

    Check for either a short in the wiring. Possible starter is stuck causing high amp draw, or the lead wire going to the starter is melted close to the starter itself. Don't know how old the starter is. Whatever you do no larger amp fuses are to be put in place of the original required fuse ...

    start delay

    Yep, a better battery will spin over the Stock Starter. Which is usually a 1.0 kw starter. So they used a 200 CC amps battery to go with that at the Factory. It is ok but I like to spin it over and go. Hasn't hurt any of the customers either.. Many times I install a 220 CC amps battery NO MORE...
