Putting a Jardine muffler on and taking the cable off the the servo motor ontop of tank. Can i get rid of the motor all together? | ||

Yes, mine was removed when the race kit was put it, which included the ECM. | ||

There is also an servo emulator available for those that keep the stock ecm. I think Al at American Sport Bike has them | ||

Somebody with a XB12S put a Jardine on his. He said that if you take the wire off completely you get a engine light on. He said take the wire that runs to the motor and just tuck it up under the airbox?? What is this guy talking about???? Thanks, Bradley | ||

If you remove the servo motor and do not put on an emulator or race ecm you will get an error code. If you remove the cable from the muffler and stick it up under the airbox cover it will still move and prevent codes, it just won't actuate anything. Kind of the same function as the emulator, but be careful where you stick it. It can damage other component if it grabs hold of them. | ||

If you are into DIY this circuit has been working fine for me for at least 18 months.  | ||

"There is also an servo emulator available for those that keep the stock ecm. I think Al at American Sport Bike has them" BEWARE! If you're running a free flow exhaust and NOT using the race ECM (Especially if you're also running a free flow air filter &/0r intake!) you're flirting with a dangerously lean running condition!

I ran an 04 XB12S with K&N filter, stock ecm and Original Drummer and monitored the AFR with a wideband O2 sensor (TechEdge 2CO) and did not find any dangerously lean running conditions. For other mufflers/systems it may be different. Edit: Maybe because the Drummer makes good power down low in closed loop then the stock ecm is better able to compensate by upping the AFV from the O2 feedback during closed loop, whereas a muffler that makes mostly top-end power may lead to lean conditions at high rpm, because the stock ecm doesn't have to add more fuel at lower rpm since no extra power is being made there.
