low battery voltage,loose connection at the battery or starter.

Sounds like a bad connection seeing you gauges are dimming like that, and i also did not hear the fuel pump..

 

[betoons]

thanks for the quick answer
I check the connection at the battery and thigh it more, but without result, when you said at the starter witch connection you are talking about??

welcome to buellxb.

 

[anrkizm95]

main cable going to the left side of the starter.have you checked your battery voltage?

 

[betoons]

Looks like the fuel pump is working I can ear it and make a check of it with ecmspy

+1 for battery

I'd check the voltage across the battery first. Mine did the same thing before I replaced my 4 year old battery this year.

 

[betoons]

battery voltage 11 volt is it the issue ??
I just change the exhaust it was running fine before that...[confused]

 

[anrkizm95]

battery voltage 11 volt is it the issue

thats low check it while cranking.

 

[dallasb]

IIRC 11.4 means a bad battery. Throw it on a charger over night and see if it will hold at least a 12.4 which means its 75% of capacity.

 

[betoons]

sound good I ll see tomorrow if it resolve the issue, thank to all, I keep you update

 

[betoons]

ok battery was dead, I just buy a new one, everything is back to normal

Glad you got bike running!

Doe anyone know where i can get the battery strap at. Mine broke.

 

[stellio78]

Battery straps breaking is a come problems & if you get a replacement it will probably happen again.

If you still have the old one use the 2 end pieces & a strip of velcro for a DIY battery strap, did this myself & it's been good for the last 10,000 kms.

recently my buell xb9sx seems to be running a bit sluggish the mid range power above second gear seems to be lagging but once i hit around 4.5 to 5 thousand rpm the power kicks in. the low to mid range torque seems to have diminished a bit. any suggestions?

Year? Mileage? I would start with your spark plugs if they haven't been changed recently.
