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
