i have been reading in nightrider.com
about the x14ied to help reduce heat from bike
an get better throttle responce....
has any one installed it...an does it work..
thank you...joe...palm coasr florida...

 

the x14ied are basically a resistor that lowers the 02 sensor voltage returning to the ecm so the ecm thinks the reading is leaner than it actually is. They also only work when the bike is in the closed loop parameters (part throttle cruise) anything outside the closed loop parameters remain unchanged and run on a factory predetermined map.
They will help in cruise surge if you have that problem

 

thank you for info..i was reading that it wil help with cooling the bike
so it dont run as hot..is that true...when iam in 2nd or 3rd or 4th gear
the bike surges...[dont run very smooth]...plus the heat factor....
again thanks for info...

 

If you plan on keeping the bike stock (with the exception of the Exhaust) the x14ied will work for you. If you are doing air filter changes or any other mods down the road then I would spend the money towards a "fueler" of some kind that will alter the factory map be it SERT/PCIII/ IMHO

 

Yes
it will help with the Heat
the leaner the fuel the hotter the bike gets
if the mixture is rich it will run a little cooler
Using the Xied on my bike
these are a seat of the pants observations
and I can cruise at an easy 30 MPH without surging
eventually will get a PC5 for performance
but the Xied is working well for me right now

 

thank you for your info..glade i got to hear from some one
that has it...an it works..thank you...again....joe..palm coast fl...

 

How easy is the install?

 

I have the X14ied's and a Bub 2into1 exhaust as the only mods so far on my '10 883.
Ied install takes about 5 minutes, simple disconnect of o2 connectors and plug in Ied's.
Engine runs as smooth as silk now with no surges like it had stock after sitting at stoplights
on 110 degree days. No oil temp gauge yet but seems to run cooler. Gas mileage
is still the same as before Ied's, about 50-55 mpg, and I ride it a lot harder now.

Phoenix is still going to be in the 90's this first week of Nov., at least the nights are
cooling into the 50's here in Cave Creek now. Unlike the folks up north, I'm
looking forward to winter.
