Hi.
I´m looking for the original/stock EEPROM for the 2009 model of XB9SX motorcycle. It´s running the BUE2D firmware but any other will do as it´s just a matter of "translating" from one firmware to the other. Can anyone please send me it? Email [email protected]

Cheers.
 
It's much more than 'translating' the fuel map to the different firmware. They actually store the map in a different memory location as well, thats exactly how ECM's get 'bricked', by bypassing the securities and burning a map from a different firmware version.

PM AZMidget on here. He may have access to a later map like that. Try Buelltooth.com and ask them too. Maybe Buellmods.com? If you have the capability to burn a map, then you have the capability to read and store one from another bike (that is stock) as well. Any local Buellers to you?
 
I have a stock 2009 XB9SX BUE2D eeprom that I will email to you when I get home. I saved it to my Droid phone right after having my ECM updated from BUEZD to BUE2D.
 
Hi,
Recently joined, had the bike for a few years.
I'm also have trouble with an 08 XB9SX erratic running??

An original map would be good if available.
Thanks,

How did you diagnose that fuel program is the issue? That would be bizarrely ultra rare and odd.

There was an issue with the Uly's where the low seat would contact and physically crack the ECM housing causing intermittent issues, but still not a fueling program issue.

If you insist on continuing down that path anyway. Rev-Mo.com
 
Cooter, thanks for the info and the quick reply.

I'm not sure what is wrong with it, same as in the lcq4blackstar video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm1n_RvOMsE

The repair seems to have been EEPROM, see below

Bike is now fixed, ended up a corrupt EEPROM, in ECMSpy under the EEPROM tab there is a check box to the right of the "burn" button, when this is checked you cannot perform a complete EEPROM flash only the changes made get pushed to the EEPROM. Once you uncheck that box you will be able to completely "burn" your saved good EEPROM. Pay special attention when using any software with bluetooth/cable to make changes to the EEPROM, I found it can easily lose connection while making the changes and corrupt the data.

Although my bike is now failing to tick over, rev through the range and loves to pop in the exhaust.

I'm just beginning to gather info and would like to check what a stock map looks like?

Thanks,

Davie
 
Davie: Below is link to old thread that might be of help on your 2008. Brett aka Lawdog still board member but inactive past few years. He has the maps you're seeking. Great guy as well. Perhaps try sending him a PM on here and see if he responds.
PS-Just wondering if you happen to know Alasdair Cowan from Edinburgh? Good friend of mine who won the senior class at Isle of Man past few years.

Barrett, thanks again, very useful info, I'm just gathering weapons and ammo before I take on the bike, hopefully this weekend.

Not met Alasdair yet, I see a couple of Buells around Edinburgh, haven't caught up with them yet, I'm also an irregular member of the Borders Classic Club.

Cheers,

Davie
 
Have you checked the fuel pressure? If the pump is getting old and its producing enough pressure, it can cause the same issues.

Also have you checked your intake seals? They may be leaking just a little for the overly rich warm up program to compensate for, but as the bike warms up and it and the mixture goes back to "stoich"-ish, it could cause the motor to start running lean. Usually when most people find out the PITA it is to get at the intake seals, the bike goes up for sale quick and "just needs a $50 part".

Checking the seals for leaks is cheap and easy. Replacing the seals is cheap and not easy, especially the first time. A fuel pressure gauge is available from AMF here if you're interested in that.

Hi, not checked it yet, the bike had the complete 10K service bike stripped to bare bones 4 years ago and has done less than 1000 miles since then, the bike doesn't like long periods of non use as I think the O2 sensor in the exhaust needs high temp to perform, had very little use in the last 16 months, so this maybe the issue.
I can apply a unlit blow torch to the seals to test, carried out this test with other bikes.

Very good responses from the guys, very much appreciated.

Thanks, Davie
 
Hi, Put the bike on ECMspy, running as bad as ever, the fuel pressure is not being picked up on the live feed, I have tested the pump and it seems to run with no fault code picked up by ECM.
