Gremlins and Stuff Code 14 CEL Flashing Stumbling HWY only

[user_deleted]

you're on your 3rd O2 sensor? seriously? simply put you have a faulty ground. that is ALWAYS the cause of the problems you described. and to answer your question your 2003 has a small ground cluster at steering neck area. running design changes moved its location but yours should be attached to triple clamp pinch bolt. get a flashlight...drop to knees...go to front of bike and start searching for it. here's the complete detailed breakdown of all XB fault codes. yours specifically ground related.

So yes I agree with you I've looked at front and pulled damn near everything front fairing / windscreen looked up and down and see no ground nothing. (I got on my knees as well) I did find that my horn bracket was snapped in two...

Look I appreciate the help guys and yes I agree it's a ground issue, does anyone have a picture of said ground up front, I have no visible cluster or loose wires heading to a bolt in the front.

try this for reference. This is a Uly, but it should be extremely similar, just possibly in a slightly different spot on the rack.

Yes I see the same bolt on my bike and there is nothing on it I have taken off almost everything except the dash and ignition module I have no visible ground leads it any of the bolts. Whould anyone have any idea where that ground leads to? Is it part of the main harness.

Maybe someone cut the wires for some stupid reason and now it's your job to try and find them.

With the time between riding it, I'm not sure I'd say there issues are related.

Of course the code doesn't mean 'bad sensor, replace it', it means 'I'm getting a signal I don't expect in this circuit'. Thats a big difference.

Get ECMDroid for free (Buelltooth.com), and turn on "live data" for the circuits effected. You can either look at it on your phone mount while riding, or learn how to datalog (safer) to see if theres an anomaly in the circuit. It will show you a wiring issue (if there is one) and allow you to narrow it down using a wiring diagram much easier than ripping the bike apart and splitting open every harness junction.

Alternatively you can just use the correct wiring diagram (Buellmods.com or Buelltooth.com for the manual .pdf) and just trace the code 14 circuit anyway...

If you end up replacing the ECM ( I wouldn't recommend that for now...), the firmware doesn't matter however if you do get matching firmware it will be very easy for you to put you existing fuel map on it and since you haven't mentioned that it runs poorly I'd re-use it. ECMDroid will do that too.

Just an update, let you know the new Ecm seems to have done the trick for me 160 miles so far not as much as a stutter or a CEL flash, thanks for everyone that helped, fingers crossed I get to enjoy it before something else comes up, Cheers
