just bought a new 07 xb12s

[andrecna]

hello,
I just bought here in Brazil a 07 xb12s with only 1000km on it and i´m loving the bike and also loving this forum.My bike has a slight hesitation after idle and a kind of puffing(exhaust goes puf,puf)I have read the topics and I already adjusted the idle(it was too low)and there was a big improvement but sometimes it still happens..is it normal or what should I do?

Welcome to the Forum Andre! [up] You can do the Crankcase Breather Reroute Mod and it will help some. Also, if you think the plugs may be fouling up, you can try some Iridium spark plugs. I'm happy with the NGK Iridiums (Pt.# DCPR9EIX).

andrecna, did the bike get it's service?

best, when you buy a used bike, is to do a complete service. that way, you know what is in your bike.

i bet that your problem will be solved with plugs and some good clean oil.

Hello Lefox,

Yes the bike had the first scheduled maintenance done at the dealer and from what I have seen they have changed the oil(engine,primary ,dealer have used mineral MOTUL oil)and filter that´s all it was done in February(bike was 1000km).and now it is 1300km(last weekend I rode 300km in it).I have already ordered the plugs and will buy material to make the breather reroute this weekend.Do you think I should make another oil/filter change(use synthetic)?

thanks a lot and congrats on the forum
It is AWESOME!!

yea, change to synthetic...

alot of riders here swear by royal purple, amsoil, etc.

just use a decent synthetic oil that is made for aircooled vtwin engines.
