So what's the story on the race kit?

[azsnow]

As far as the injection system on the Sportster using a false tank like the Buell as an airbox, this is wrong. The injection system is identical to the one used on all current Big Twin bikes. Not the same parts, but the same set up. (TB attached to a manifold, and using an actual fuel tank) Hey BuellPartsGuy you work at a stealer, get out from behind the counter and take a look.

Well guy, if you read what I was posting about, I was talking about the XR1200 that was released in Europe, not US production Sportys. And yes I know they use the same style injection set up as the Big twins, sharing things like injectors. So try again dude, maybe they'll have some answers on eBay...

lol jk

from what drummer told use if im not mistaken with his muffler aftre a few days of riding in the 3 to 4000 rpm range the stock efi system adjusts to the pipe his dyno chart shows a gain of 10 pounds of torque..if thats all true it must adjust somewhat...if true the pipe would save a lot of money...its the touque i would want in the street....[up][down]

Chill out bro's. Although I love the conflict because it generates lots of content and discussion I wish we could all get along. I'm too much of a newbie to tell who's wrong or right, but I'm guessing that both of you are right to some degree. I seem to learn a lot when I get into cat fights on forums. I try to act tough at first, then I go back and check my facts and I always end up learning more than I did before the bitch fest. There's only one way to settle this... You both must go to my arcade site and play 'Spank the Monkey' Flash Arcade Games
The member with the highest score has to email me a screen shot by this Friday. I will post the winner on the forum. Good luck ladies!

Please, azsnow, no threats. I don't mind rough language as long as it's not towards another member. I hate forums that delete member posts, but I might have to if we can't squash this with 'Spank the Monkey'

 

[buellxb]

What was that Buell drag race site again? Maybe if you're close enough you could hit the drag strip. Maybe the director of Pinks could get you guys on the show.

I do tell the techs they were jokers for going to MMI, but they are past the stage of thinking they know it all. They actually have experience now, and I respecet every single one of them. I am just hating on MMI because of all the newbies I deal with coming out of there. And if you actually read my posts, I stated I dont know it all, but I am respected in that dealership for my knowledge. And I have wrenched before, I did it for a couple years, but i got sick of buying tools and busting up my knuckles on other peoples bikes when I can make the same money if not more slinging parts for them, and I can keep all my good tools at home to work on my own stuff. Lastly, I never said anything bad about the aftermarket industry. I have aftermarket stuff on my bike. I was just stating I used factory parts and did it right with my airbox cover. And I see buellxb had to edit your post because you were getting nasty. Dont take it so personal man, we're just debating and having a good two sided convo. Ease up man, its just the internet....

 

[azsnow]

I understand what you are saying about the kids comming out of there thinking they know everything. I was stuck with them for a year and a half. I did wrench at hacienda, and when the third day in a row came and went, and I only logged .74 hours, it was time to change careers. You talk alot of smack about mods done with non HD parts, or Ebay parts. I dont jimmyrig my stuff, never have, never will. My stuff looks and performes better than factory, or it doesn't stay on the bike. I know I don't know everything, and have been corrected on at least one on this site. (Headlight highbeams) All that was said that was edited was that I would be seeing you soon, and I will stop in to meet you and see if you are better than the past parts guys I have delt with over there. Only time will tell.

hello gunfreak where ya go hope all is well...waiting to here about the race kit you installed

 

[onelyesac]

I have had my xb9 for about a year now and I haven't done anything to it. I am now looking in to puting a new exhaust and race kit on it. What is the best way to go about doing this?

I have had my xb9 for about a year now and I haven't done anything to it. I am now looking in to puting a new exhaust and race kit on it. What is the best way to go about doing this?

best price/performance: (slip on)
jardine - race ecm - k&n open filter

best performance slip on:
drummer - remap - k&n open filter

then you have all the full systems which are expensive and from which i haven't seen all dynoruns yet...so i can't advise you there.

 

[Somthngfrce]

I have a question? If I were to find a race kit, could I do it my self in the garage, or is it something the dealer has to install? I have read that it's plug and play! but is there any calibrations needed? That is if there is a kit somewhere out there to be found!

 

[LeFox]

install can be done by yourself...

tps reset also, if you have the software
if direct-linked, this needs to be done by a specialist with dyno
