Psyched for this, thanks for taking it on! This is one of those parts I know I'll grab for a spare since it's a matter of when, not if.

Nice write up! Added to my list of mods when it gets hot this summer. I've been wanting to do a deep dive on my wiring since the PO appears to have modified somethings with suspect quality, and the...

Twin Motorcycles is creating replica replacements, sold as airbox cover/flyscreen sets. Haven't actually inquired on price since I don't need that temptation in my life...

I believe this is exactly why Barrett specified the amperage in his comment. Short answer is no, you should not do this. Just bring it into any auto parts store and they'll charge it for free. That's...

Hoping this may help future members. I recently had a failing fuel pump, followed shortly by a failing cam timing sensor on my 07 XB12S. The fuel pump was a bit of self diagnosis combined with...

Replaced cam timing sensor, runs great again all the way through the rev range.

Any resolution to this? Was there any coughing/backfiring at 4.5k-5k, or just sluggish? Aside from what's been mentioned, a fuel pressure test may be a good idea to test your fuel pump. Mine XB12S...

For the record, the map worked great, and I've left it alone since loading it.

TPS Reset

I believe you mentioned you cleaned the grounds already, and Cooter reinforced that, but it's worth looking at the manual he linked and making sure you got em all. You mentioned charging the battery,...

like 34:19 said, get a buelltooth dongle and ECMDroid app. Unless you're leaving stuff out, you seem to be jumping around and throwing parts at an issue without knowing what it is (ask me how I...

True, definitely not trying to guess here, just seeing if there's other sources. Worst case I pay 160 to replace the one I "borrow" from you ;)

I'm trying to find a replacement cam position sensor, timing sensor, ignition pickup, etc. I used Twin motorcycles and got the following, but it tubers and 03 XB, so I'm pretty sure it's not actually...

Which bearings are you looking at? I was thinking of getting a set to replace mine when I get new tires this year, but couldn't find consistent reviews for guidance.

So got a new battery in and idled/revved great up to 5k rpm, then revs died, backfired and engine died eventually. Voltage was between 13.5 and 14 the entire time, and power loss was abrupt at...

Ordered a new Deka battery, hoping it was an anomaly, or due to intermittent use of the battery tender. I read someone saying that if you use a tender it should always be connected, so maybe that was...

Looks like the first part I'm throwing at it is a battery. Bike wouldn't start last night so took it to local o'reilly to get charged/tested (which I had already done about a week ago after the...

Thanks for bringing me back. I keep moving around but have been leaving out some things that I checked and forgot to mention along the way. When I took the bike around the neighborhood the second...

It's an 07. So I was reading about the trouble code in the 08 electrical system diagnostics manual. After reading more, it sounds like this code means cam sync failure in the earlier models. I'm...

After doing some digging on old threads it sounds like the crankshaft position sensor may be the issue, and symptoms sound similar to mine. My bike has had a slight hiccup under hard acceleration at...

Fired it back up in the driveway, and was able to immediately replicate the issue the second revs got above 4k. Backfired a couple times then died. Threw a code 56 - sync failure this time. No other...

Ah, right. Forgot my map re-set that masking I had previously switched. They are current. There were no codes before the ride.

Alright so took it out again with new plugs, TPS reset and re-loaded map. Ran perfectly smooth and strong...right up until 4k rpm again. It wasn't as severe, but did cough, eventually backfire, and...

Yeah I have an open airbox K&N w/ Jardine RT1, and buelltooth map for it. It had previously been dead on at around 100.7 I think before it all went to hell when my fuel pump died. Pretty sure...
