Does anyone know how many 03 XB9R's were produced? Mine in #1648 according to the VIN. | ||
| Gonen60 |
good question, I to would like to know. My XBs is Feb 03..how do you tell production number? | ||
| Captainplanet |
The breakdown of the vin is in your owners manual. I think the production number is either the last 6 or last 5 digits, I can't remember which. | ||

I have heard that they start production at #32 as well... Doesn't sound right but I did hear it from one weak and unconfirmed source. | ||
| Captainplanet |
Just looked in the owners manual. Last 6 digits are the sequential numbers. For the 03 Firebolt 400001-420000 for the World Models (non - CA) 420001-425000 for the CA models. Whether they started with #32 or not who knows? Anyone? | ||

M1, Not true on the start at number 32 thing. I happen to have two with serial numbers lower than that. I'm positive they started at 001. But I don't know how many were made. | ||

Am I reading that wrong? They made 1100 XB9Rs in two months? I didn't think their manufacturing capacity was up to that... | ||
| Captainplanet |
Just for more reference. My #401648 had a date of May 2002. | ||

Anyone know what is diff between World and Ca? I know its smog but what on the bike is diff? --D | ||

CA Models: carbon canister underneath the seat to capture fuel vapor from vent hose. | ||
| Midknyte |
I would assume that the canister filter would need to be replaced at some point - how often? | ||
| Chainsaw |
From the Service Manual: "When the engine is running...vaccum slowly draws off the hydrocarbon vapors from the carbon canister...these vapors pass through the throttle body manifold and are burned as part of normal combustion in the engine" I didn't know this till just now! I guess it never needs replacement. | ||
| Draoidh |
So on world models the tank vent just goes open air? | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
The tank vent goes directly into the airbox. In the CA models it goes through a carbon filter first. | ||

Actually, the Ca models have the canister on the side of the engine, right behind the oil cooler and below the ram intake. | ||

Wyckedflesh said: The tank vent goes directly into the airbox. In the CA models it goes through a carbon filter first. Actually, the fuel vent does discharge directly to the atmosphere on World models (non-CA). The fuel tank vent tube runs over the air box down the left side of the frame and exits just behind the rider footpeg. You might be thinking of the crankcase breathers which do vent directly into the airbox. Mike. edited by xb9er on April 30, 2004 | ||

Yeah...figured that one out on the way to Deal's Gap two years ago. Had filled the bike in Detroit before leaving, by Tennessee the sun had heated it enough that it was leaking into the bed of my truck through that hose! We ended up taking one of those Gatorade sport bottles, upending it and sucking gas out of the tank with it. LOL...prolly shouold have kept that as an 'emeregency reserve'. | ||
| Captainplanet |
Yep, and if you had a CA model, the fuel would have filled the carbon canister and really created a mess. | ||
| 2k4xb12 |
Hmmm, I wouner what would happen if that canister on the side of my bike were to vibrate loose, fall to the road without my knowledge and the two lines were to dangle in space? I guess that would keep the canister from filling up with fuel, huh? |
