So I got me a new rear tire after my crazy blow out. The bike shop close to me only had one brand my size and I didn't feel like waiting so I got a continental contimotion. It seems legit so far. I took the tape off the air box I previously placed on it. The bike was noticeable weak and missing a little. Now it runs pretty dang good. It's a tad rough for a minute or two when cold but it comes to life when warmed up. Other then the low beam light issue I already posted about the bike is amazing and now I'm just fighting the weather | ||

The availability of tires thing is what pushed me over the edge of getting a tire changing rig. My tires are now delivered to my house via amazon! One more pair of tires and it will have paid for itself in labor. | ||

The conti motions are an ok tire. grip felt good even in the rain. Tread life wasn't really long, but to be expected since they are so cheap. I had 3 punctures in 2 years with them though. I'm gonna say they were bad luck. | ||

Keep your luck!!! I don't want no more of that crap. Natexlh1000 what kind of rig do you have? | ||

"It's a tad rough for a minute or two when cold " Your supposed to warm up the bike until idle settles down to normal warm engine before taking off.. at least that's what I was told and practicing that I'm never having a stumble, fouled plug or reason not to rip right out the driveway. | ||

Yea that's what I'm doing now. It just idles horrible and will die if I don't feather the throttle while it's warming up | ||

Do '03 XB9's need TPS resets like my '06 12? If so, perhaps that is something to consider before goign any further with your idle problem. I know on later years an out of whack TPS will certainly cause poor (or no) idle quality. |
