Nightrider O2 IED's - Field Test
#1721
RE: Nightrider O2 IED's - Field Test
Two weeks ago I bought an 08 EGC and have logged 600 miles.
New engine break-in is a painful and slow process for me.
Last Thursday (5-22) I read all 42 pages of postings about the
IED and XIED. I ordered the IED and it arrived yesterday (5-27)
as I plan to keep this bike stock for a while.
As I completed installing the rear device a freak cold front rolled
into Houston dropping temps 15+ degrees in seconds. Not to be
out done I went for a ride and could tell there was a bit better
throttle response. I ride aggressive and the engine break-in is
where I can begin to have fun. Lots of shifting and throttle.
As the front moved out and warmer temps returned I could tell the
heat had been reduced when sitting at traffic lights. Sunday the temps
here were mid 90's and the heat off the engine was significant.
While the IED is not a cure all for less than $100 the IED will give a
bit of throttle response and does attenuate the heat for a stock bike.
Will report back after more miles.
Great thread.

Well another XiED user that is very happy with the results. I have a new 2008 Ultra with 350 miles on it and it is completely stock. Here in California we have the stupid catalytic converter in the exhaust, so the temp's are even higher than most of the country. Rode it about 40 miles tonight and noticed that the temp against my right leg is significantly reduced since I added the XiED's. I plan on keeping the bike stock, and now with the XiED's I don't need to make any additional changes. Big thanks to Steve and his great product for allowing me to make a simple five minute change and now i have a very rideable bike that I did not have before the XiED's.

Steve,
That is what I wanted to hear! I have a SE Air Filter ordered, K & N doesn't have a RK3909 listed to fit an 08 last time I checked. I will probably go with V&H ovals, or a newslipon from Khrome Werks. Don't know much about them (Khrome Werks) but haveheard good things and they have a new3.5" muffler outfor cruisers/touring that has been described as sounding like the old 396SS Chevelle ascompared to the family sedan.......if you are old enough to remember that.With XIED, I don't plan on doing anything else.

396 SS Chevelle, now your talking. My first brand new Car was a 68 SS Camaro with the 396 (350 hp), close ratio four speed and a 456 posi rear straight out of the factory. They were making some *** kicking cars back then. Do you remember the Yenko Chevies from Long Island? 427's with aluminum heads, and thats just for starters. The price for my new Camaro was $3,200. Wish I still had that car now, it would be worth a small fortune. Thanks for the memories.

I bought a 2008 Crossbones back in March and put the XIEDS on it about 3 weeks ago , I am getting the P0131 and P0151 codes ( low voltage from the O2 ). I realize that the XIEDS lower the voltage so the fuel injection richens... correct ?, But I thought it would see the voltage drop and just send more fuel without getting codes. Would somebody explain this to me please... I have checked to make sure they are pluged in correctly. The bike does seem to run cooler

Even stock configurations are showing these codes.
It looks like the are being stored during the start cycle before the engine actually starts. MOCO is looking at the issue and is aware of it.

"Don Yenko" Chevrolet was in Canonsburg, PA. and was the only place to get a Yenko chevy.I guess nowit's "Yenko Honda". sorry cruiser, but my girlfriend insisted I correct you.(She knows all theyenkopeople, I guess)
Back on topic...My XIEDs were shipped yesterday, and now I'm just pacingI spent most of the day taking temp readings to compare after I install them.
