05 xb12r .. racekit .. 5000miles .. ride hard .. put some holes in airbox on rightside - to reflect 06 model airbox - then drilled lots of 1/8th holes at font of airbox cover - once again to reflect 06 models wire mesh airinlet - took bike out for a slow cruise for an hour or so last night & found at slower speeds the frame near inner thighs felt hotter than usual. is it likely bike is running too lean w/ the increased air? does the ecm adjust for this after a few miles? no unusual popping or other noises from engine. just felt hot until reaching 60mph .. then cooled down. ambient air temp around 70-80 F. any info appreciated .. fuel octane is 91 ron. | ||

I may be wrong, but i was under the impression that any time you make a change to your intake or exhaust you need to do the 10 minutes at 3500rpm drill to set the AFV to match the new configuration. Anyone care to re-inforce this notion or disagree? | ||

I would like to know if my xb9s will run lean with an open airbox set up such as from ABR or the FAST system. I have the race kit and right now the bike runs great. Can't hurt to try to get a little more out of it...or can it? | ||

Could it be that you were just focusing more on the bike because of the recent mod and being at the lower speeds that you were feeling the heat more? I am not saying that it isn't running hotter, but the only way to really make sure would be to take a reading of the temps. Regardless, I hope that if it is overheating that the problem is quickly found and resolved. Safe Riding! |
