I'm listing this bike for a friend.

It is a 2008 with 20,500 miles. My friend bought it in late May. He purchased it from the original owner. After purchasing it he's ridden it twice and decided that a Firebolt isn't the most comfortable thing to ride...

The good:
It's is basically a one owner bike.
Always kept inside and well cared for.
Almost new tires.
I cannot see evidence of it ever being dropped.
Starts, runs and drives well. I took it for a couple mile loop as part of the pre purchase inspection. I don't think it was quite as snappy off the line as my Lightning, but speed sure built a lot faster.

The "bad":
The original owner put an aftermarket muffler on it & it fell off, so he has been riding it with straight pipes.
There are a couple powder coat chips on the rims.
The check engine light is on but everything functions fine. I tried to hook up with my Buelltooth but the plug is different.

The plug shouldnt be different. Its up front, not under the seat like a Lightning.

I found the plug under the front but the only one I could find is definitely a different shape than the one for my 05 XB12S. If I know for sure that it is the same I can go and dig around until I find the right one.
 
Alternatively, when you find that 4-pin plug you can ground the data wire (Jump terminal #1 and #2) when the CEL starts blinking you can let go and count the flashes.
Heres the most common ones but if its missing a muffler I bet I can guess which one it is :cool:

11 Throttle position sensor
13 Oxygen sensor
14 Engine temperature sensor
15 Intake air temperature sensor
16 Battery voltage
21 inter active muffler control
23 Front fuel injector
24 Front ignition coil
25 Rear ignition coil
26,27 clutch and neutral switch
32 Rear fuel injector
33 Fuel pump
34 iac
35 Tachometer
36 fan voltage
37,43 speed sensor
44 Bank angle sensor
45 side stand sensor
46 start relay
47 aux power outlets
52, 53, 54, 55 ECM failure
56 Cam sync failure
 
Sir: The plug you "found" is either the R model accessory or aux Euro lamp plug. All XB ECM access diagnostic plugs look like the below. Some black colored on late 2009-2010 models. All the rest gray as pictured. Pic is R model plug behind fairing.
