    '08-'09 XB12 engine bearing issues

    20w50 or 20w60 Amsoil is best for the Engine changed at by at least by the 3,000 miles oil change time. I have had good use of this oil since I bought it new. If you use a lesser oil Quality, then 2,500 miles is better for changing the fluids. Make sure the oil is for a V-Twin Engine. Also...

    gas smell

    Just to be sure, check your vent tube line from the top under the Airbox cover on the XB bikes all the way down down on the left near the lower area of your foot peg. See if it seeps just a bit here and there. Might want to check your inner air box area to see if a line has come loose a bit. The...

    Starter And primary chain

    A 1.4kw starter is always a good choice , It is a bigger starter BUT beware the battery needs to be at least 220 CCAmps so it has the power to start the Engine with a larger Starter. The Starter will be slightly longer.. I have used many 1,4 KW starters but make sure it will fit in the area...

    Fuel line clip

    You might be able to find the Fitting at napa or O reillys I have seen replacement fittings for those fuel lines. My opinion is to replace the whole Fuel line this way the item in new and safe. The Barb fitting the ABS plastic elbow presses onto is solid so you can always repair the Fuell Line...
