Hi after everyone thoughts, my XB9 died coming back from the Isle of Man, and I now have a 1200 engine, What I am unsure about is : a) do I strip the 1200, and rebuild the xb9 cases with the crank, barrels, pistons and injector body. ? b) use the 1200 as is, ? is the 2006 engine much better than the 2003 ? not too worried about matching numbers as bike will have original engine too. |

If it’s the 2006 model year you will get the more robust oil pump drive gear. You’ll obviously need to change your ECM content for the 12, the 03 ECM won’t have a pin for the exhaust valve so if you want to use that you’ll need a newer ECM and you’ll need to fabricate a bit of wiring harness and find a servo motor. Also, the 9 headers will strangle the 12 a little. Apart from that it should fit fine... |

Thanks, I already use larger headers, and will get the ecm re flashed. I was under the impression that the 2006 already had a better oil pump gear. Is there a thread for changing this ?. Thanks Kevin |
