Hah, yeah, definitely not pouring water into the TB. Sprayed Brakleen around the outside of the flanges on front and rear, heard an idle change on rear, rinsed (the outside) off with water and heard...

This was great, thanks. Good to know I'm not just totally missing it. Timing looks ok, then, and I'm guessing since I always get the fuel pump priming when the TDC mark is in the center of the...

Yes, and as it could be any of those issues, it seems to logically follow that I should maybe test those issues? Which is why I'm "jumping into" the ECM, in order to determine "actual information"? ...

2006 XB12Ss, she's running well enough (stable idle, no noticeable hesistations) but gets a pretty rough pinging when hot under load and pops on decel. I decided I'd check the timing first, loaded up...

That would be amazing, thank you. I'll send you a PM, we're actually pretty close to each other (I'm in Exton and work in Malvern).

As an update on the bike, I wired it open for now to see if I...

I'll check it out, thanks. Maybe an intermittent short or something, the wiring job on the HID bulb fit isn't the greatest on this thing. Regarding the EVA, I'm pretty sure mine is broken, while it...

Well, looks like it's just a toggle for the error itself, I assume so that tuners have easy access when they disable the O2 sensor.

In other news, if anyone knows if it's normal for my TPD to...

I gotcha, I went right out and tried it, when I disable the AMC and do the ign on/engine start/WOT procedure I still throw a code. If I just turn the ignition on normally (without WOT) I get no code,...

Doh, right. It's an '06 XB12Ss, no mods unless the K&N air filter counts. About 9k miles right now, got it last year at 4k miles and whoever had it previously had done the ziptie-the-actuator-cable...

Hey there. I have a 2006 XB12Ss with ~9k miles, no mods, that has started to have some issues.

Within the past couple weeks the bike has started to miss and stumble, it seems like it happens more...

Well, I found it, and of course, it was something dumb I did. Torqued down the handlebars and pinched the LH Control cable. On the plus side, not a lot of damage, and I learned a lot about the bike,...

Great, big thanks to you guys. Second time you've helped me out lunatic.

I don't suppose there's a better way than just poking around looking for an exposed wire, is there? I'm not sure how to go...

Thanks for the fast responses, I'm a commuter and anxious to get this up and running as soon as possible.

Lunatic, I tried that one initially, the fuse blows before the actuator moves. I...

Last Sunday I rebuilt my forks, which went fine. I put everything back together and started the bike, and everything seemed fine, A few minutes into my next ride, I got a check engine light. It's...

Thanks Lunatic, that would be great. I live in Philadelphia, so pretty close to Amish country.

Got the bike back Saturday, and after a TPS reset, clutch adjustment, new plugs and cutting the...

Hey lunatic,

In PA, been riding in temps between 35-55. Was riding the other day and had some starting and idling issues, so I took it to a shop that knows Buells, I figure I'm not going to be...

Great, thanks very much to everyone. I'll update as soon as I get a chance to do an oil change and magnet/filter check, fingers crossed for the best.

It does get faster when I rev it, yeah. It's impossible to hear over 2k rpm, though, with stock exhaust. I think it might actually be coming from the rocker box, and possibly both, is it at all...

The engine is warmed in this video, i give it at least three minutes before riding and in this I've been out for about twenty minutes. I think it gets worse the hotter the engine gets, but I've only...

Hey all,

I just picked up an 06 XB12Ss a few weeks ago, and I'm loving it. However, I have no idea what normal valve train chatter is and what isn't, and there's this knocking that sounds like...
