    Rear brake light switch

    Thanks, Cooter. Did some more searching, and for anyone else who might be looking at this, the actual part number is H0203.02A8 Looks like an M10x1.25 bolt. Here are a couple amazon links that are confirmed in reviews to work on xbs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GTV0RC...

    Rear brake light switch

    My brake light is not illuminating when I press the brake pedal. I shorted the leads going to the tail light where the brake light switch connects and the tail light comes on, so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the switch. When I bled my brakes, the fluid was in terrible shape after sitting...

    Throttle cable routing--bracket removal

    I tried many times/ways and no matter what I do, if I route the throttle and idle cables of my 02 xb9sl through the plastic bracket alongside the spinal cord of electronics, i get severe binding of the throttle when the bars are turned completely left. The cable routing bracket is just barely...

    Throttle and idle cable replacement

    For the record, the cables from twinmotorcycles are made by venhill, but if you go to venhill's website they are not listed anywhere. I routed the cables the same way as the previous cables on my bike (04 xb9sl): From the right control cluster through the slot under the instrument cluster...

    Throttle and idle cable replacement

    Thanks for the various links. It's odd to me that Motion Pro and Venhill only seem to have cables for pre-xb models. I ordered from twinmotorcycles.nl

    Throttle and idle cable replacement

    Thanks, I did see that, but it doesn't list the 04 xb9s/l as a compatible model

    Throttle and idle cable replacement

    Throttle cable looked fine, but when the bars were pinned all the way left, I felt binding. After messing with it in that state for a bit it started to bind in all positions. I opened the airbox baseplate and I can see significant fraying of the throttle cable. I will replace the throttle and...

    Primary drain plug o-ring fraying and front tie rod bolt torque spec

    Thanks to the help of various old threads on this forum, I installed a new clutch cable today. I drained the primary for the first time in a decade of sitting and replaced it. I used a new drain plug o-ring (same as main swingarm oil drain plug o-ring). After tightening to the specc'ed torque i...

    Battery terminal rigging

    How has everyone rigged their power and ground wires to connect to aftermarket battery terminals? The OEM battery had the terminals flush with the front of the battery housing. But every aftermarket battery I've seen has them set back maybe half an inch. There's not much slack in the power and...

    Throttle tube and maybe cable replacement

    Well, that's easy. Thanks

    Throttle tube and maybe cable replacement

    My right controls felt fine, but I was curious and kind of peeled back the inner side of the grip to see what the throttle tube looked like. I replaced it, but now the throttle feels like its binding; it does not return smoothly. Does that sound plausible or did I maybe do something else in the...

    '04 xb9sl fuel pump or electronics?

    I had the injectors cleaned by Aagard Moto Foundry. Getting the fuel rail bolts back in and tightened without rotating the engine was extremely challenging. I hope to never do that again. With the new battery, rebuilt pump, restored injectors, and new plugs (original OEM H-D plugs I bought back...

    Horn wiring and repair

    Cleaning the connectors on the horn itself and the switch inside the left control cluster solved it. Horn is working. Thanks

    Thanks, will give it a shot

    Horn wiring and repair

    My horn does not work. I confirmed the horn itself works with voltage. I disconnected the left hand controls harness and confirmed that the orange wire coming from the rear has power. I did a continuity check between the controls side orange/white and the yellow/blk that comes back from the...

    '04 xb9sl fuel pump or electronics?

    I picked some alligator clip leads and manually pulsed each injector. I could not hear or feel any actuation. Sprayed them both with a little bit of carb cleaner and let it sit inside then tried again and I could clearly hear the solenoid in both of them. I wanted to be sure there was no major...

    '04 xb9sl fuel pump or electronics?

    To be safe I will mark them both since I don't see any red and white bands on mine. Thanks for the tips on pulling the injectors. I rotated them, and pull/wiggled. Here are a couple pics of the inlet and nozzle: I was hoping it would be more obvious how to clean these, but after some...

    '04 xb9sl fuel pump or electronics?

    I am very close to having the fuel rail and injectors removed. I removed the bolts holding the horseshoe-shaped fuel rail bracket to the velocity stack (10) x2. I removed the 2 bolts (image only shows 1) at the base of the fuel rail bracket (3). I removed the electronic connectors in the...

    '04 xb9sl fuel pump or electronics?

    Tested the pump and it seems to be working well. I don't have a tool to measure the actual pressure, but I flipped run switch on 3 times and it pumped maybe 1 cup of fuel out total? I was surprised how much came out. So it's narrowed down to clogged fuel line and/or injectors Looks like I...

    '04 xb9sl fuel pump or electronics?

    Great suggestions, Barrett. I replaced both plugs. I checked fuses with a multimeter and all have continuity. Bike still wouldn't start. As a side note, the check engine light is now registering a code (comes back on after 4 seconds of off), but I assume that's just because I have the...
