I have an 06 XB12X I just purchased ~ 20 days ago WITH ~17k. Ever since I purchased the bike has coughed fairly regularly especially when cold. I sent the ECM off the be flashed with the 07 map to richen it up and make it run smoother according to my research. I got a ECMSPY cable to be able to take a look inside the ECM. This morning I went to leave for work. The bike coughed multiple and violently in a 1/4 mile and subsequently died twice. I returned the bike home. I decided to check the TPS. It was at 8.8%. I reset the TPS to the point where it flopping 5.1-5.5. I could never get the TPS to 0 at fully out the lowest it would go is to 1.2%. After the TPS reset the bike acted like it had ~15 more hp. Unfortunately the bike acts like it is hitting a wall at ~4800 rpm and starts bucking. any ideas? | ||

Check the throttle body, it may need some cleaning. They tend to gunk up quickly. My XB12S with 8k on it already needs a throttle body cleaning. Also, sounds like you might have an intake manifold leak. Finally, the injectors could be gunked up as well. These are some common problems it seems like. I can't recommend what fuel system cleaner to use because I honestly don't know. Lucas or Seafoam would be my first choice but I would search first. |
