Hello guys.

My first post. I am about to buy XB12SX. I am from Europe (Croatia). I also noticed the torque and horse power decrease for EU models. I read this post, but I am confused. Lefox said: catalyser...but that's an easily solved problem.
So, I don't understand if easily means I DON'T need to change headers or I just need to change the exhausts and mapping? Shortly: what changes needs to be done for European XB12SX to have more HP as US models does?
Also, I have a questions about the exhausts,I don't know should I go to other topic about the exhausts...

rsv (wrong brand ;))

the problem will be solved when getting a full exhaust system, meaning header & can.

@ LeFox: haha! yeah, I have one i can't sell it. Well, I don't want that is. p.s. all my accounts are the same "brand" so I will not change it. But I will become Bully owner very soon(can't wait!)


Uh, that was I was afraid of! Very expensive.

Thank you for clarifying for me, now it's clear! Respect

I just went through this whole mission with my 2008 Euro spec XB12s. I replaced the headers with US Spec/EU 2007 spec headers, put a Drummer exhaust on, K&N filter and an EBR ecm. It's like a totally new bike. Runs sh*tloads cooler, smoothly, much more power. Money well spent so far.

Hi (srxy), I'm also from Europe (Italy)and I have a 2009 xb12ss (were I remouved the catalyser).
Did you install a 2007 header into your 2008?
Did the 2007 header fit on it?. Did you modified the header? (by the oil pomp side of the engine?)
Please let me know, becouse I have a 2005 header that I vant to install on my bike, but I'm not sure if will fit.
thanks
