Reply With QuoteDont know if you can see in this picture but i run a similar set up. Providing you drain the oil often enough there seems to be no problems. I usually check it every 250 miles.
I don't want any oily residue getting anywhere near my back tire and I don't want any drip marks in the garage. My bike is my mark and it's with me wherever I go.

I am haveing a idle prob and am gonna try it . thanks for the info and pics .
Porkey,
The '07 - earlier XB9's & 12's had an idler screw adjuster. What year is yours and what RPM's is it idling at?
I just did this mod to my 05XB12r and it is well worth the time and money. $27 at Autozone and 45 min while bbq'ing some chicken and havin a beer or 2.:D
Awesome write-up
My setup is quite similar :)
Awesome Write up for sure...After reading this mod for about 6 onths, I finally took the plunge. Took me about an hour and HOLY SH*T what a difference! The one thing I hated about my bike (the hiccup in 1st) is absolutely GONE! and the motor feels so much better to drive.. Thanks to all..... If I could buy a beer to you all for the posts, I would!!!
And thanks to URBAN ASSAULT for this exellent write up too! I'm not the brightest of the bunch and I usually learn Visually! I def. would have not done this if it wasn't for your pictures!!!
Made a quick video of the draft tube location with the motor thumping..
