Hello, can anybody please help me find the bypass of the injection (my bike is xb12scg 2008). Any picture is welcome. I need to connect the hypercharger  I didn't have time to took the bike apart to see the injector so i need some good pictures that when i'll take it apart i'll know exactly where to connect it... Thanks | ||

Um, you aint gonna be able to install a hypercharger on an XB, sir. Sorry. | ||

Doesn't the hypercharger (which is neither hyper or any type of charger) bolt up where the XB frame is? I believe that they need a side manifold rather than the downdraft. | ||

There is a vacuum that's not used by the XB, it has a little black cap on it...usually. Right beside the intake. Sometimes they fall off... Anyway, doesn't the hyper charger open using vacuum? That ought to work if it does. The hyper charger will work on a Buell with a little modding. It stick up through the air box like an old school hot rod, I've a picture of one somewhere. | ||

i guess im not sure what you mean by bypass of the injection? if you bypass the injection it wont have any fuel will it?! anyway. people have put the hypercharger on TOP of the motor and cut a hole in the air box lid so it sits on their like a blower scoop. only reason is for looks though as the hypercharger has never been known as a great performer. | ||

  I've been looking into doing this since I bought my bike, but haven't gotten around to it. If you need any help Matt at http://www.trojan-horse.co.uk/ used to sell a kit, so he may be able to help you with hooking it up. | ||

I gotta say, that looks very cool. | ||

If it opens on vacuum, what happens when you are WFO? Does the minimal vacuum in full throttle keep it open? | ||

 The only one I've seen on a Buell is on an S1, and I believe it's carbureted. | ||

Went to www.kuryakyn.com yes it works off the vacuum line. | ||

They look cool but from personal experience... they are garbage. | ||

There power robbers don't put it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For looks only. | ||

Does the minimal vacuum in full throttle keep it open Depends on the cams and stuff. Some do, some don't. | ||

The vacuum closes the Flaps. It has spring tension on the Flaps to hold them open if I remember correctly it is adjustable. (Message edited by Wantxbr on November 30, 2008) | ||

Functional or not, I've always LOVED the look of the hyperchargers. Can you get them in black...? ~SM | ||
| Believer |
Yes you can get them in black, and yes i love the look the + i'll get a lot of space under the air box (i'll need the space when i'll get the skull mask, all the balast for digital xenon will go there, and all other electronics that is in front and so on)... still no pictures f where to connect the silicontube ob injector?  | ||

The hyper charger has a big slot in the bottom of the case of the outter housing, So it effectively negates any charging of any type. the race filters are better, If you dont think so call al lighton at americansportbike.com and ask him about them, I was this close to buying one and im so glad i didn't. +1 on power robber! | ||

Now i finally got some time to take apart my airbox, and the new airbox is almost finished, but i'm still not sure where this bypass is. Is this one on the picture the right one?   Thanks for the help! | ||

If you hear a hissing (or sucking) noise with the engine running, when the cap is off; I would say yes, you have found it. Note: the engine may not start with this fitting unblocked. At the very least the engine idle speed will be unstable. |
