OK so,seems like i have been fighting this problem for about a year now... I have a 2003 XB9R with 16,500 miles, homemade open airbox conversion, re-routed breather, STOCK ECM/ and Jardine GP1. Current Mapping is stock, used Race Map from 07 ECM for a little while and felt it did no good and stock map was better.

Regardless I have been chasing and intermitant problem of cutting out at 5-5200 rpm's under load usually in a hot condition. In certain situation when really bad the bike threw open/high ETS Code. Again I will be replacing the ETS and looking for broken wires for the THIRD time this year.... I know it sounds like a "short" but this is usually on hot days or long periods of riding.
Also the coil and both plug wires were replaced on the later end of 2007.; The bike is well maintained, and rode hard.( I didn't buy it to stare at it and cruise)I am contacting Al and other resources to day to possibly find another Fuel map in case I might be running lean.( I have ECM Spy and cable, if you might have a map for me to try) But my mileage doesn't add up and my plugs i just pulled out are only look grey not white.

Oh, and the bike has not been static timed since I bought it in July of 2007. And i believe has the OEM Oxygen sensor. (I have never changed it) All things considered I have put 13,500 miles on this bike in 2 years and the original owner only put 3k on in almost 3.5 years.


ANYONE out there that has heard of anything similar to this?


Thanks in advance, Neil.

You probably need customized fuel mapping to address the modifications you've made to the intake and exhaust.
