So i was out riding and my check engine light came on. It went on and off a few times...even flashed while i was riding home....I will check for the codes tommorrow....my oil was a bit low so i topped that off..Anyone else have these issues...my idle was all over the place and the fan kept coming on too

Check the connections on your battery first along with any others you can find to make certain their tight. Without knowing what code it's sending this is hard to say.

I agree, that without knowing the code, everyone is just pissing in the wind. There are multiple sensors or short wires that could cause this.

ok codes are:13 for oxygen sensor and 14 for engine temp sensor....idle was up and down.... bike never stalled....Current setup is 03 xb9s with k&N filter, race ecm, d&D exhaust.Has 5300 miles on it. I cut i few intakes into the inner and outer airbox to get more airflow...these problems didn't start until after i cut the airbox...Oil was low so i added a few ounces....now what do you guys think?

I was thinking O2 sensor, if it is reading wierd it can make the bike run hot, which could make the fan run....etc.

I would check the wires and connection to the sensor, and if it is still acting up check or replace it.

You have nothing to lose by doing this so try it: Remove the negative battery terminal, then the positive battery terminal. Touch them together then put on the positive terminal then the negative terminal. Take it for a ride and let us know if it made a differance .

i think the bike got hot because the oil was low........i topped the oil off and rode it today and all seems fine...i did pick up a new 02 sensor in case the code comes back......just curious what does touch the 2 battery connections together do??

Check ECM wire bundle routing as well.
