    Are upgraded (LED/HID) lights worth it?

    Been rocking the DDM 35W/6000K kit on both hi/low for over 8 years now without issue. I do recommend a HID delay kit like the wolstentech TDR (Wolstentech HID TDR Time Delay) to reduce the strain on the electrical system and eliminate the double-fire when starting the bike. I use the...

    Fouled Spark Plugs

    @Chickn- No problem, man. Doing a TPS reset doesn't hurt anything, especially if you're troubleshooting and want to simply eliminate the TPS calibration as a contributing factor. But it's not necessary just because you replace or modify your intake or exhaust and is the only thing I was making a...

    Fouled Spark Plugs

    Chikn - Not doubting your expertise at all, but what does throttle position sensor have to do with air or exhaust mods? It's just a sensor that's connected to the intake butterfly that converts a mechanical position to a signal to indicate how far the intake is open. Neither the intake or...

    hawk fuel map

    Also, just so you know... Most folks rock the Hawk and similar exhausts for the sound, not for increased performance. I'm not saying the Hawk doesn't enhance performance (I don't own one), but most exhausts that are louder than stock and in that price range typically reduce bottom end...

    hawk fuel map

    Try the following: - Load up a bone-stock EEPROM load for your model/year. - Perform TPS reset. Search the board for my posts or the factory manual regarding the proper procedure. Don't stop at "zero" when backing out your idle screw. You have to back it out until the degree reading stops...

    hawk fuel map

    I agree. You've got other issues. Personally, I would find a virgin copy of the EEPROM load for your bike and push that in just so you know you've got a known good ECM profile, with factory fuel maps and timing values, since these should allow your bike run OK with your mods without any other...

    what do you use?

    go cytocis- Thanks for the mention of TechnoResearch Centurion. I used their VDSTS software back in the day when all I needed was something to zero my TPS and basic functions. I just went and checked out their website. Their tuning software looks amazing. Can you give a review on your experience...

    tps reset gone wrong

    rchuff- You're right. Toggling the run switch shouldn't be necessary, but it helps force a refresh on ECMSPYs coding that monitors the connection to the bike when it signal changes states. Back in the day when I was running early versions of ECMSPY, this would sometimes help cure connection...

    Radar

    The location in your photo is pretty good. Good height and antenna exposure. I've used velcro or magnets to attach my radar detector to the top of my tank bag with pretty good results. It lets me quickly detach the detector if I have to run into a store or gas mart. I run the 3.5mm audio out to...

    tps reset gone wrong

    After clicking the TPS reset button, does ECMSPY still say it's connected? If I recall, you have to click on the 'key' icon at the top of screen to re-establish connectivity when you switch between ECMSPY screens. This is a common complaint. Try this- After clicking on the TPS reset and zeroing...

    Any one have a solid Map for D&D?

    To the OP- You said it idles fine and runs decent, so what are you going after by plugging in another map? You're not really going to find another map that's optimized for your bike, location and riding style. I have an '04 XB12R and ran it stock with my D&D/K&N/Race ECM setup for years and...

    HELP!! bike bogging down at idle after Race ECM install

    After reading over your original post a few times, it looks like your bike ran fine with the original (stock) ECM with the exception of some flat spots. Then you swapped in a Race ECM, did a TPS reset and that's when your current running issues started. I'd say you either performed your TPS...

    FRONT END SHAKE

    Questions: Was any work done on the front tire, wheel or suspension prior to when you noticed the shaking? Does it only occur at or within a certain mph range? Does the shake lessen or worsen with front brake applied? Suggestions: Check brake caliper and rotor for loose mounts Use a dial...

    Breather Mod Question

    HDGarage, Same thing. In your case, your catch can is also a 'T' connection and is what I was referring to. It's fed from above, drains to a bottom collection below, and feeds vents to the side via the filter. From Naibaf82' photo, I couldn't see if he's running a can setup like yours or...

    Breather Mod Question

    No prob. Come back and give us an update on your progress. BTW- To your original question about your filter location in your original post. You asked if the saturated filter might be due to having it configured so close to the 'T fitting'. Lots of folks like HDGarage above seem to have their...

    Breather Mod Question

    Correct. It's positive pressure. Nothing is going to get sucked back into your motor. Sorry, I don't have any pics handy of my re-route. I'll try to post something tomorrow if I can. It's pretty simple though. Run your rocker box breathers to a 'T'. From there just route your single tube down...

    Breather Mod Question

    This is exactly why I vent my re-route to the air and don't use a breather or any filter. The catch can (or low-hanging terminated tubing) used on these types of re-route setups simply collects the liquified condensate after it has cooled, but while the crankcase gases are hot, the oily stuff is...

    04 XB12S voltage dropping?

    If it were me, I'd do a closer inspection of those pinched wires to verify that the wires/cabling is intact with no bare copper exposed and repair as needed. Even then, if the wires were pinched enough, the wiring could look fine on the outside, but the conductor inside the insulation could be...

    Has anyone done this?

    RainX also comes in small disposable towelette pouches. I always keep a couple in my tank bag or storage compartment. Works like a champ.
