I have a 2008 XB9SX with about 800 miles on it. I purchased a K&N Air Filter and Jardine Aluminum Exhaust for the bike. Will the A/F mixture be alright with the stock ECM or do I have to get another ECM? I would prefer not to spend any more money at this time, but I do not want to damage the bike by running lean. Thank you in advance for your assistance. | ||

They run pretty lean from the factory, your best bet is to get a custom tune on your ECM once you got the pipe and filter installed. | ||

I thought you couldn't tune the 08 ECM? | ||

You will get alot of Popping on deceleration if you do not get a race ecm. | ||

Try the twin tec tuner instead of the race ecm, it costs about the same. Also a good tech may be able to adjust it to run fine with no ecm or tuner. | ||

I don't think the Buell Race ECM is available for the 2008 XB9SX... Do I modify the stock ECM or purchase a new one? What is the "best bang for my buck"? Also, can my local Harley dealership modify the stock ECM for me? Thanks again! (Message edited by ryan954 on December 05, 2009) | ||

The twin tec tuner plugs in and is adjustable. Heres a link check it out. http://www.daytona-twintec.com/index.html | ||

The Twin Tec Tuner is cool, but it looks like I will need to purchase a $200 USB cable and software package in addition to the unit to edit the map... | ||

I purchased this exhaust most importantly for the performance portrayed in the XB Exhaust Shootout published by American Sportbike, and secondly for the sound. In reading through the report, I noticed they had an open air box kit and catch can installed; therefore, the horsepower produced is 2-4 less for a bone-stock bike like mine. They tested the exhaust using the stock map and got solid results for the Jardine with an open-air box configuration. So why is it really necessary for me to modify the stock ECM? Their bike ran fine with an open-air box setup and Jardine exhaust. I apologize for all my questions, but this is new and interesting to me. (Message edited by ryan954 on December 05, 2009) | ||

I have been doing a lot of research over the last couple of days. I do not truly know anything about tuning motorcycles, so I went looking for a self-adjusting unit. The Remus Powerizer appears to be my best bet. What do you guys think? Thank you in advance. |
