I rode my Ulysses and my buddy's SS back to back today and it really seems like the Uly pulls stronger down low but runs out of steam a lot quicker while the SS kept pulling for longer. Is this my imagination or are they geared differently? While you're here, I have the following issue: the fan on my Ulysses never comes on anymore, but I can still activate it manually with my Buelltooth dongle. Is there a temp sensor out somewhere or what could be wrong? (Message edited by falloutnl on September 22, 2019) |

All XB12 models use the same gearing. XB9 bikes have shorter gearing via the primary chain ratios. If in 5th gear on a XB12 it indicates 60mph at 3000 RPM, you have the stock gearing. |

Interesting, I'd almost swear there was something different. Can't be just the weight if the power delivery seems so inverted. |

Check temperature reading and fan temperature activation setting with Bluetooth dongle. |

What years are your Uly and that SS? If they are the same year it should feel the same. I know the 08 and later bikes had a different exhaust setup than previous years on the Euro bikes, I don't know how they affect the performance. |

Re the EU 08 bikes, adversely I can tell from experience. Sucked all the fun right out of that lump. My Uly and his SS are both MY 06 bikes. |

You should have intake air temp and engine temp sensors. Check both with a cold engine, they should be near the same. If not check the air temp with a separate thermometer and see which one is lying! |
