If this were hooked up what would it do?

[ny_driver]

I was setting my suspension, and decided to check out the air filter.....this is what I found. What is this supposed to be doing?

The bike seems to run great.

It would make your bike turn into its own black hole!

 

[BuellyBagger]

its the exhaust valve actuator cable... is the other end hooked 2 r muffler?

 

[freak2180]

LMAO @ Loki..........


It your Time travel activation servo........Forealz

 

[ny_driver]

I can't trace it so I don't know what it's hooked to. All I know is it is not hooked up at this end.

 

[BuellyBagger]

it will come out on the right side of the bike behind th chin fairing and go to the top of the muffler

 

[ny_driver]

Must be this thing gets disconnected when you install a Jardine?
I can't find the other end of that cable.

modern day flux capacitor

Yes no actuator in a Jardine or many other aftermaket pipes. I removed the cable all together as well as the servo, Weight reduction YEAH

 

[BuellyBagger]

Weight reduction YEAH

[up]
i chucked the acuator too, even more weight removed like a whole 5oz

If you unplug and remove it you will get a check engine light. You can remove it but you'll have to disable the servo with ecmspy or you can go on ebay or americansportbike and order the "exhaust valve emulator"http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUELL-XB12-Exhaust-Valve-Emulator-2003-2009-model-/271003523575?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f191199f7&vxp=mtr

 

[BuellyBagger]

should look more like this

 

[ny_driver]

Thanks for the information.

But it's fine as is for now right?

I'm getting a K&N, axle-sliders, frame-pucks, and black header wrap next paycheck.

Should I add some breather holes when changing my filter, or is that an aftermarket airbox top?

 

[BuellyBagger]

thats a stock air box on mine. Yes ur fine with it un hooked

Don't chuck that actuator, you can probably sell it later to someone with a stock pipe. I already purchased a used one when mine wore out.

 

[BuellyBagger]

Djohnk is right, i actually have mine in a box somewhere. Dont ever throw away good buell parts
