Hey guys pretty new here.
So i have a 03 xb9s, hawk exhaust,race tune, and kn filter.
I have a 06 xb12ss engine sitting in my garage, with throttle body, front and rear sproket, and ecm.
Is this a direct swap into my xb9? I read i just need a new belt. Is the belt tensioner the same from a 9 to a 12?
excuse any ignorance, love the site

by speedometer you mean the cluster?
thanks
There was another guy that had a similar situation to you. The gearing in the engine/transmission between 03 and 06 is different, so your old speedo will display the incorrect speed. You need a new speedo (maybe gauge cluster but idk) from an 06 bike that is meant for that transmission.
Yea the whole cluster I call it the "dash". I just orderd an 07 for my bike cabt wait to no how fast im going.
Also, if I remember correctly the 9's don't make use of the interactive exhaust servo/cable set up, if you're planning on running a stock exhaust or incorporating that into a a modded stock exhaust.
His Hawk exhaust will be fine. I know a lot of people with '12s usually look for a '9 exhaust pipe for Randy to cut.
rrh481 did it. Google his name I dont know what he posted up as far as what is needed.
Thanks for the answers guys.
Forgot to say the new engine also has the oil cooler and both lines to it.
I was reading that I don't have to swap wiring harnesses, but I'm not sure. I do have the wiring harness also though.
More research I guess lol
isn't the gearing change between the 9 and 12 in the primary side? just wondering.
