Bought my XB12X with a bad AMC. Replaced it with a used one I got off ebay that failed 200 miles later. If anyone has one please PM me or email. JIF5095@gmail.com

Thank you,

Jesse

Auxilliary meatball control. It regulates the amount of meatballs you get with spaghetti.
Duh!

perhaps he's referring to this as a "valve"???? though much maligned...having owned 3 i can tell you they were top-quality and great MPG if driven sensibly.

You said it. My 76 CJ has an AMC 401 in it. I pulled it from an old Jeep wagoneer. Good reliable horse power.

Active muffler control. Servo that sits on top of the tank. Pretty sure I didn’t make AMC up.

Just having a little fun with ya:) Maybe you got confused with the Active Intake System (Japanese only) referred to in section 1 page 44 (E1 supplement)

The muffler system on XB 12's is technically referred to by Buell as the Interactive Exhaust System. The Interactive Exhaust Cable, and Interactive Exhaust Valve. You'll have better googling answers using the proper terms:)

That said, if yours is inop there is a good fix for it that replaces the plastic gears that strip with metal ones. Our esteemed Lunaticfringe has the deets. Search under his screen name and should be easy to find.
Or, if yours is just missing, they are easy to find. Most people take them off when adding a performance muffler.

Heres a dozen or so for $20-$30...

Thank you. I was able to take mine apart and fix it for the time being. The gears weren’t stripped or ballooned. The spring tab popped out of place. So far so good.

Interactive Muffler Control Actuator, most of us have one deep in a box of unwanted parts.

Believe it or not, my mom bought one, 390, with manual 4 speed trans, she didn't like it and I begged her to let me have it and I would pay her for it, she said it was too fast and she would worry about me driving it. I pleaded and even begged, no deal ! I went out out and bought my first brand new legal street motorcycle 250 Yamaha, then she said " I wish I let you have the Javelin. I got to drive it once, she was with me, it was a real cool ride !
