I installed a Jardine pipe on my 2003 buell xb9 and it is running way too lean with the stock ecm and filter. Any suggestions? race ecm and filter?

Race ECM and filter. That should fix it.

maybe a dumb question, but you did take it out onto the freeway and hold it at 30% or below throttle for a little bit to reset the AFV for the new pipe, right?

I guess it doesn't surprise me that it may be running a bit lean, but I've seen bikes that had only a pipe on it that ran pretty darn good. I'm not saying that they wouldn't run a little better with a filter/ECM, but WAY too lean with just the pipe isn't typical.

Still, I'd do the filter and ECM anyway. rich is good.

Dumb question. I wanna learn.

How did you determine the bike was running lean?

I have heard on FI bikes reading the spark plugs is not as solid a way as on bikes with carbs.

enquiring minds wanna know!

Ja99oe24,

I have a Jardine on my 9R and only mods since the pipe were the addition of a K&N filter and I pulled out the snorkel. I still plan on buying the race ECM when the budget permits, but the the bike is running like a champ without it. By the way, did you happen to get the steel mounting brackets for your chin fairing? The aluminum ones my pipe came with lasted about 2 days before rattling in half. If you haven't got the steel, call the manufacturer and request they send them out to you.

Isn't the computer learning and adjusts for these things?

As for rattling - become good friends with a bottle of loctite.
