    speedo stopped working mid ride

    Right now all seems working... but when it happened, tach never stopped working, the engine light came on, and I assume the backlights were still working, all while the speedo was at zero, so maybe sensor related??? It doesn't seem like the needle sticks. I'm pretty sure only the speedo was...

    speedo stopped working mid ride

    2009 xb9sx city rode to work and all went well. about 8 hours later I rode home and all seemed to be running fine. In fact, I was taking some back roads just to get a little more fast fun on the ride home. After about 20 minutes, I noticed the speedometer was at zero, and I know I was going...

    Fork seal leaking

    I noticed my left side fork seal was leaking. Some residue was noticeable down from the leak, so I am not sure how long it was going on, but I don't recall seeing anything to cause concern a few weeks ago when I last washed the bike. I cleaned and refit the existing seal, and it seems to be...

    Oil Leaking on 2009 XB9SX

    UPDATE... it's been a few weeks, and for the most part all has been good, so i thought I fixed the issue. Over the weekend I drove from Ocean City MD, down to Virginia Beach VA, stayed overnight, and drove back. About 3 hours each way, great weather, and good ride! Parked in the garage...

    Oil Leaking on 2009 XB9SX

    So far I have cleaned everything of oil residue, and checked over the parts. Hose is clear, and without holes or kinks. The factory clamp is loose, and the hose twists freely on the metal port when I turn it by hand, with little effort. I attempted to remove the old clamp, and broke it... and...

    fan's oily me worry?? Y/N???

    not sure if this helps, but I just had an oil leak coming from the "primary/trans vent assembly", which is a small vent piece attached to a hose. (member Lunaticfringe explained it to me in another post I just made) My leak was at the vent piece, BUT I followed the hose and found it ended near...

    Oil Leaking on 2009 XB9SX

    OKAY... so I fixed the O-ring issue, and that part is fine now, with no oil leak... success! HOWEVER, today I saw a few drops of oil under the bike where I parked it after yesterday's ride. At first I thought of primary cover gasket, but I investigated with a flashlight, and tried to find...

    Is there a cheat code to installing the headers

    Have to be careful with headers. I have heard of a few people doing things out of order and ending up with "stress" on the parts, leading to things breaking down the road as it shakes around. The straps holding the muffler up can snap easily, as well as the bolts on the motor holding the...

    brake light only works on front brake, no rear signal to light

    Thanks Cooter! it looks like I can detach the end of this cable, and remove it at the banjo bolt without needing to remove the entire master cylinder and heel guard.... is that correct? Or is there a good reason to go through the extra effort?

    brake light only works on front brake, no rear signal to light

    Both the front and rear brakes work, and the brake light operates normal when I use the front hand brake. The rear pedal does not send a signal to operate the brake light. After looking it over, I think the wire is broken inside the insulated wire, right at the top of the "banjo bolt" on the...

    Oil Leaking on 2009 XB9SX

    I rode in to work today, parked, and noticed some oil on my shoe. looked down and saw oil had been spraying down the right side of the bike, and even on to my rear tire.... awesome! I have not yet taken any of the plastics off to inspect it in detail, but I think it's coming from the "oil...

    XB12S Headlight Mod

    what is it you want to change? do you not like the 2 lights side by side, and would prefer a single? or do you not like the "one on, one off" feature? or the performance? I have done a few different mods using the stock housing with other lights installed. some using the stock reflector...

    General tuning options and discussion in 2017 (ECMDRoid,ECMSpy etc...)

    hey dodge! wow! Thanks for the info. on a way to get this done one day. All of that sounds WAY over my head right now, and I don't have any windows systems to run those programs anyway, but I am sure my XB9 would benefit from some minor adjustments using a method like this... hopefully with...

    2009 XB9 ECM tuning questions

    Yesterday the D&D exhaust was delivered, and last night I installed it on the bike. I was eager to get back out today, so I opted not to change my spark plugs and air sensor yet. I started it up, and almost immediately I noticed the idle was different than before (and so was the sound!). I...

    Where to find physical owners manual - 04 xb12s

    When I first bought my XB9 I spoke to someone who worked at the local HD dealership about an "owners manual". They ordered me one for my year and model bike. However, it is somewhat limited when it comes to working on the bike. It is more for general maintenance, and does not go in to much...

    2009 XB9 ECM tuning questions

    Thanks guys. I think what I am going to do first, is get it back together and back on the road to try it out as is, and ride it for a while while taking notes on how things are doing. If the previous owner did update the eeprom then maybe it will be fine with my similar exhaust upgrades, and I...

    General tuning options and discussion in 2017 (ECMDRoid,ECMSpy etc...)

    sorry man.... I started the new thread after I posted this, thinking it would be a better way to initiate the conversation to a wider array of people. I guess I should've deleted the post on this thread. I am not familiar with proper forum etiquette, and don't spend much time online, but I am...

    2009 XB9 ECM tuning questions

    I am glad to hear this should be easy to do! I have already saved the current file, and I do like the ease of use of the buelltooth. I had come across a few threads where some members thought it was limited to deal with certain issues in fuel adjustments specifically, and maybe AZmidget was...
