very nice 1125Cr in for basic checks.. rotor oil jet upgrade 

and make the trottle lighter... quick throttle was mounted.. and cables broke ( and very heavy pull )

stator to regulator wires are crimped to getter , no connector ( stator was burned and replaced ) 

the HD wire harnes fix.. will take it out right away so the bike will charge below 5000 rpm —

stock filter.. meehh will replace for K&N also more fun intake noise 

remove the idle air control cables 

unscrew the cable from the sollinoid 

lock the 2 throttle cams to getter , so they can not longer move indipendent —

the quick trottle cables are nicked already 

and the barrel was pulled of the cable end ( so much force needed ) 

xb was not running good.. stutters accelation 

intake stack was not mounted good , so sucked vacuum to the top off the airbox 

on with the 1125.. ignition cover needs to come of , so oil line loose —

pick up sensor out 

and cover screws out 

new and shiny stator 

but i think the rotot is still old with out a oiljet 

indeed old one out.. modified one in the oil jet visible in the center

updating the fuel mapping.. for some more smootnes and power

always check the throttle is not sticking.. this case the throttle cams run into the airbox rubber 

trying with out the rubber gater 

the throttle cam is rubbing here.. 

cut a little strip of the rubber 

now the airbox base sits corect and the throttle douse not bind
