re the white wire mod , can i perform this on a xb9 thunderstorm engine ,also i have an xb9 city x my mate has a xb9 53 plate and my cooling fan stays on loads longer than his, can i do anything to cool my engine more as it must be running hotter than his .

you may get shouted at for posting that question here (EDIT: not now it's been moved ).

Fans will run longer when the bike is new. As it runs in it'll stop coming on as much.

I don't think the 'white wire mod' will work with yours.

Trade it for an 07 or previous ......or at least get the 07/previous headers and a decent aftermarket can.

Are the headers on the XB9 08s really smaller than the previous XB9? They seem so small already. I have seen the difference in the XB12 but did not realise they have done the same to the 9 as well.
