If you want NOS injectors, contact Appleton H-D in Wisconsin. I saw cases of them there in a batch of parts they recently bought from Erik.

Sitting still causes its own forms of wear. Are the oil lines underneath leaking? They tend to chafe against one another.

It hasn't leaked but I'll get under there and look. Good to know where some injectors are. The clutch cable sheathing is cracked and dry and you can see the metal bands underneath. It has a small oil drip from there out of the primary when hot. New clutch cable on order from new castle harley. $45+ shipping.

After your new stock clutch cable fails in about a year, get a stainless steel braided one from Bikers Choice. I went through about a half dozen stock cables before going to aftermarket. Be very careful not to overtorque it when you install it.

Ok will do. I never have much good luck with aftermarket components. I usually try to stay OEM. Except braided brake lines are a huge improvement on brake feel. I haven't gone that route on any of my buells but if the day comes, I will go that direction. Same on the clutch cable apparently. Must be another common failure I hadn't heard about.

Well, I think in may have determined part of my problem. Both my S3 and Blast I bought had XTAX14BS batteries in them. I figured they used the same batteries across models so that made sense. However I was looking at the Harley part number for a sportster battery is 65998-12B which crosses to a XTAX20H-BS. The 14 has 220CCA, the 20 has 325CCA. 105 more CCA on the 20. What size battery is it supposed to have?

I've always used size 20 ever since the first one failed during warranty and was replaced with the larger one. Might need a Sportster rubber pad.

Ok, I may swap it for a 20 and put the new 14 in my Blast.

Not exactly the same but proves under power is not good.
I blew my lithium battery because they had sent one the was one size too small it killed a cell. Never did feel quite right started a hair slow. Put the new correctly sized one in and bam she screams!!

That's what I'm thinking S1. Get the right cranking amps on it and maybe it will be much better. Possible that voltage drops on start goof with the EFI.

Put the 20 battery in and it does much better. I also put the starter cover button on and that seems like it stresses the circuit a little less. Still takes a couple tries when it's warm. Cold or hot she fires right off. May just be the nature of the beast. Made it to our local car/bike meet Saturday : )



Oh I also put on a motion pro braided clutch cable and returned the stock one. Thanks for the heads up!
