airbox delete question

[jwa]

Hey!
Going to set up the airbox delete -mod with a K&N "XB" filter. So I'm gonna cut the original airbox, but whats with all the stuff on top of it? All I can identify is the gastank breather hose(?). What is the servo-something on top of the airbox and can I strip it with this mod?
08 XB12Ss, Sebring slip-on, breather reroute done. After airbox delete I'm going let my HD dealer remap the stock emc.

First off good luck with a remap since you have an 08+ bike. For the servo well if you have the sebring I guess it doesn't use the valve anyway so I think you could get a servo emulator or something like that to get rid of the servo. I am interested in the others suggestions since I'm thinking about the air box delete too on my 09

Remap will be necessary with open box, K&N, and aftermarket pipe. I just left the servo in place and removed the cable. This keeps the check engine light off w/o having to buy an emulator.

If you have ECMSpy you can go to the Diagnostic tab and uncheck the Acive Exhaust Valve radial button.

that'll cure the check engine light.

I understand but with the 08+ bike like you know we don't have many option for that especially since Mike shut down xopti.

It's best for the bike is all we're saying. Even if it runs with intake/exhaust mods, you'll shorten the life of your engine. Whether it's worth it or not is up to you. Dealerships or JTS Performance can remap '08+ ECMs.

OK, thanks for the info. I'll probably make a new lid for the filter to keep the old box at bay, and just strip the servo&wires. My check engine -light is actually alredy burning anyways, the computer thinks there is a problem with some airflow control servo that was on the stock exhaust but is now gone. My dealer was unable for somereason to reset it but they are working on it... I'll let you know how the dealer will fix the problem calls if the solution turns out to be artistic.

airflow control servo

They have to be talking about the Exhaust servo that's we've been referring to. It changes the flow of the exhaust gases, at certain throttle positions, providing more torque in those areas.

Yes, but do a TPS reset before hand. Here's the procedure in case you don't have it: '08+ TPS Reset Procedure

Also, JTS performance is able to remap '08+ ECM's, might try contacting them: JTS Performance
