I had just bought a 06 xb12s from the dealer. All they could tell me that it had a jardine exhaust. I asked about 5 times if the bike had been looked at and checked out. I was told yes. About 2 weeks after i got the bike i started to check things out. I had taken off the air box cover and had found a HUGE rats nest and chew marks in what looked to be a pro sires air filter. I also check and found out the bike had the race ecm. So i called the dealer i got the bike from and they couldnt come up with a good reason but said they would put a new filter in. I took the bike down and made sure it was clear that it had a pro sires filter and the race ecm. I also had them put new grips on while it was in. I waited for about 2 hours untill it was done. I had asked the tech that worked on it if he had replaced the air filter with the same kind. His response was yes. I road the bike home and it ran like crap. so i checked the air filter and they had put a stock filter on. I had called back to complane and they said the manager would call me back. The next day I road it to my father house to pick somthing up and the bike wasnt running right at all. Here comes the good part. When i went to leave the bikes throttle response was off. So i gave it gas and the next thing i know the throttle stuck. The bike took off and i had the clutch in and brakeing, when i hit the curb and lost the grip of the clutch. So my options where to hit a tree or lock up the front brake and dump it. I did hit the kill switch but that was right before i went over the top. I had my helmet on but i had to get 6 stiches in my leg and some nasty road rash. But to find out now i have 3 blood clots. 1 in my leg and 2 in my lungs. So now im on blood thiners for a year. So my question is... is the dealer libale cause of the air filter and grips. When you open the throttle and let go it will come back slow. They seem realy gritty. The dealer never told me anything about the bike at the time of the sale. I was told everything had been checked.. Will a stock air filter effect a race ecm?
