I have a 2003 firebolt xb9r. it has an aftermarket exhaust but not sure which design because i bought the bike with it on. when i ease the throttle[half throttle] the bike responds accordingly with full power. when i extend the throttle to full[wide open throttle] the bike bogs down and looses all its power. this problem happens in any weather/ bike condition, cold, hot, in any gear at any rpm. I am thinking that this is maybe an air fuel ratio problem or fuel delivery kind of problem. does this bike have a MAF sensor or is it a speed density system with a MAP sensor? Do i need to re-flash the computer because of the aftermarket exhaust? any ideas would be appreciated. thanx

Ryan,
Try resetting the TPS, or Throttle Position sensor. You can use the search engine on here to find out more. Options include the dealer, a local badweber with a VDSTS, or you could buy your own from AmericanSportbike.com A search for TPS reset Minnesota may lead you to a local that's willing to help out.
