Bank angle sensor, kills power if the bike falls over.

mmmmmm.... V8 quattro, man I love those cars. Anyway, as long as you can clean it and re-apply the oil it'll be fine; assuming the element is in good shape, no tears or holes etc. The element itself is just a medium for the oil, so unless it's damaged you can use it forever.

Your stock charging system should be able to handle the heated liner and gloves. My stator shit the bed at about 50k though running the heated gear a lot. I do use a voltmeter though monitor battery voltage. If your volts drop down to 12.7 or less for a long time it mean the alt is running high loads to charge the battery and run the heated gear and bike electrics.

You will be amazed at the difference it makes... I do a lot of night riding, and with the HID your field of vision is farther and wider. The first few times I rode with HID I was amazed at what I could see...

I have about 20k with my ballasts mounted like you want to without any issues. I have never even noticed them hot to the touch.

Hmm.. that sounds more like the clutch to me, in my experience XX's always sound rough in neutral when you start them; particularly cold. CCT will be continuous, especially apparent at idle.

Like you didn't have enough in your "salvage yard"?

Warchild's cunt box is a pretty clean install, waterproof switches in a project box, mounted on the bars. http://www.superblackbird.com/cbox.cfm

just heat shrink the end and forget about it... I wouldn't just cut it and leave it like that, even if just for the sake of doing it the right way.

hmmm.... no restriction on mine either, have hit close to 11k in 6th a number of times.

Good price for the mileage... My friend Carl's has 85k on it now ... but yeah, it's still ugly!

I love this forum

Oh well, gonna have to do it the hard way then....

How hard is it to replace the fork oil on the XX? I didn't see specific directions in the manual, so just wondering if you need to take the forks off... Or is their a drain plug somewhere?

Actually, it's not a full system, rather, a pair of Erion Racing Black Aluminum slip-ons, and they do indeed sound sweeeeeet...... My bad... I was thinking of sfarson's old XX, had the full system, great sounding can!

My stock stator died at @ 50k... I run in extreme weather w/ heated gear, aux lighting etc. I replaced it with an eletrosport which is better built and has more output (an extra 150 watts or so). I just blame constant high current draws for mines failure.

If the R/R works, leave it... mine was fine, but I got an after-market one when I did my stator and replaced it anyway. I keep the extra in my tool bag now.... one never knows.

A few posts down Warchild is also selling an Erion full system... by far, one of the best and sweetest sounding setups...

Simply awesome bike... sorry, I can only dream of it at this time

same here.. never had to add more than 4 to get it almost to the top of the full mark on the dip stick

Nice bike, curious though, why the need for so many fan mods? Did it overheat?

makes your bike run like shit... yeap, with the smaller filters on bikes you can't follow the instructions on the K&N clean/recharge kit. They say to hold can 3" from filter and spray along each pleat. The pleats are so close together on the bike filter this wound up over oiling the element, started it up, and ran like it had emphysema. So I puller it back out, cleaned it again, gave it a very light spray, now she runs like a raped ape.

Good god, you could do a BBG on one fill-up!

I'd hope your new chain came clean....

Trust me, my bike ain't pretty.... specially with the Givi's, the fuel cell and the beaded seat cover on it lol... not to mention the outside don't get washed much... and yeah, those bags are still ugly, but I'd use em!
