Hi everyone this is my first post and this is my first Buell.
Just purchased a 2008 XB12R, it has not even 6k on it.
When i was riding it the week after i bought it, it started to i guess you would say cough on itself, as i was coming to a stop or even just disengaging the clutch for a few moments. I came to a stop and the bike just did not want to stay running. I tried giving it throttle but it just did not want to answer back and it just shut off. I was able to restart the bike imediatley after and assume riding. My check engine came on right after that.
I check the code by using the wire trick in two slots and it came back as 16(battery voltage)
I disconnected the battery and charged it. i put it back on the bike and yet the engine light came back on.
I understand that i might need to change the battery but there could be anything else wrong with it with that code. the bike has a jardine exaust and thats it.
And could the problem of it shutting off on me or putting at a stop be the cause of the battery or something else?
thanks for the help
Ryan
