    help with abandoned bike

    ak12r, All legalities aside, I admire your persistance in trying to find the buyer who paid in full. Since there was no agreement to store the bike, and your circumstance in having to move, I believe the bike is yours to do what you see fit. However, I see a moral dilemma. Considering the...

    Turn signal problems

    I found a replacement flasher at Autozone for less than $10 and my led lights work fine. There is also a simple mod available on this site to make the OEM flasher to work with led lights. I suggest a new flasher that works with led lights will solve your problem rather than try and modify your...

    Earplug Headphones?

    I have been using Scala Q2 for about 2 years and I am very happy with them. The bluetooth works well with my iphone, although I accept calls only when necessary. The best feature is the FM radio and I use it all the time. As far as using ear-plugs, I thought it was a joke until I tried them and...

    Been looking for some bar end mirrors What do you think of these

    True with what Lesley says. I would like to add, the metal expanding anchors tend to slip and not tighten completely. I ended up changing them to the rubber kind.

    bar end mirrors

    I have the same but with round mirrors. Mine were shipped with metal expanding fasteners; the kind that open up as you tighten the bolt. They were cheap and I could not get them tight enough. Too much pressure would rotate the whole assembly. The rubber insert that is being shipped is much...

    What the heck is this thing???

    It is a emission canister. It is meant to catch gasoline vapors from the in-frame gas tank, and route it back to the intake. I am not sure where the return is connected. My bike had this ugly thing also, and I believe all California model has this. I took this out and used a plastic tube to...

    08 uly not wanting to turn on. Vid inside. multiple problems, first post

    From what you have described and watching the video, the battery is not delivering enough juice to turn the engine over. Try charging it completely with a charger tonight. Make sure you have the battery contacts cleaned out thoroughly. Another very important failure point is the negative ground...

    Ligntning XB9S as first bike for my girlfried and I

    After a long search I purchased a xb12scg, and have been very happy with it. I offer my comments as follows: 1. xb9 with a low seat ($60 on ebay) would be perfect for someone 5'4", since it is very light and nimble. 2. xbs are very simple machines to maintain and work with. Simple fluid...

    Primary oil

    Likewise, Amsoil has been great. I use 20W50 synthetic on my BMW K1200GT and Buell XBS. I also put 5W20 into my Honda CR-V. I specially like the discount you get if you become a member and order on their web-site. One other manuf. that comes close is Liqui-Moly.

    08 - 09 Tuning Info...

    I have an 08 12XBScg and it had an ECM with a mid 07 firmware date. When plugged into ECMSpy, everything was there and the maps were correctable. My recent trip to the dealer for a firmware upgrade resulted in them changing the whole ECM. I now have a mid 09 date on the firmware and when hooked...

    New Firmware upgrade - finally!

    Here are some of the items I have discovered since I picked up my bike. The new firmware ID is BUELD130 06/05/09 1. Fan comes on as soon as you hit 15mph approx. and turns off when you come to a stop. 2. No fan when you turn the bike off after a ride, as against it running loudly for 10...

    New Firmware upgrade - finally!

    My 2008 XBScg finally received the firmware upgrade after nearly a month in the shop. After hearing wonderful things about the fan management for the 08 Xb bikes, I decided to take mine in for the upgrade. I was told by the dealer I will be charged $40 in spite of the bike being in the warranty...

    Need Help!

    I took a couple of spins in the neighborhood, was afraid to get stranded out there. With your response I feel encouraged to go for a "closed-loop ride" to test. Thanks.

    Need Help!

    My newly acquired 2008 XB12scg started with some hiccups, but was running great for a while. It put many a smiles :) on my face until my recent fillup. I had run on reserve almost to the last drop. Promptly pulled into a gas station the next day, and filled up with 93. I did sort of overfill to...

    What is best ECM option for 08+ XB´s?

    I have a 2008 XB12Scg (09/2007 manuf date). I was able to log data using ECMSpy. From my reaseach I have found out you are able to read the ECM data using ECMSpy, but may not be able to write data back to it without the help of a hex conversion application, short of converting data manually...

    ecmspy version?

    I have an early 08 model (09/2007 manuf date), and from what I understand, ECMSpy will read the EEPROM data, but will not be able to write data back to it since the hex conversion will not cover all the columns and rows in the newer 08+ ECM. You will need a third party conversion app such as...
