Ok, thanks!

Heres my XC, pic taken few months ago.

Over the years I've had issues with the switch on the bars. My light would come on, and I'd think my ABS was off, but as soon as I'd start rolling, it would go out.. No ABS off, not good on gravel.. The dealer thought I needed a whole new switch, which includes blinkers etc.. $200+ not going to happen. Shot some air and elec type oil in there, all good now. I was prepared to just remove the front ABS sensor, and let the light flash.. I think over the years I just had too much dust work its way into the switch mechanism..
It does sound like you have more of a light issue, than a switch issue though.

We ran a diagnostic, and it registered the ABS button being pressed in. I'm not seeing any info on just replacing the ABS bulb/LED light.

Yes, that's the one. I like the looks better and more importantly, it fixes the water spray issue with the stock fender; when riding in the rain, water doesn't spray over the front fender on to the rider.

cant wait to fit them all

Is that red one Uni filter prefilter kit?

exactly.. + bigger injector + 14th sprocket and low seat..

I can't seem to find one of the pre-filters here in the states with out paying almost $60 in shipping from UNI Australia.
UNI-NU-7311

That is correct. I even went into the Unifilter shop in Orange, CA, and they had no idea what it was and were not receptive to trying to get one.

I just run a few pieces of Unifilter foam over the Unifilter. I also have noticed that the Unifilter doesn't really fit the opening for the air box correctly. You need to use a lot of grease to seal it up.

The sheet of Uni filter foam really traps most of the dirt. Mine looks like this now:



more notes HERE

anyone?

I paid about $40 of shipping for both filters from AU to Houston,TX. I've been quite busy this week so I didn't have time to work on the bike. I,ll probably will have some free time on sunday, I'll take some pics of the pre-filter fitted and post them.

Temp sensor in radiator would be worth checking. It sounds like it is running on the enriched map all the time as if the bike thinks it is still cold.

Maybe a bad Oxygen sensor?

anyone have an idea: Took my XC out today and when I turned the key on, bike started Ok, but my clock was reading all 0.00 and both trip meters had reset to 0 also. The main odometer still had the mileage reading. :eek1

That is a symptom of power going below a minimum battery voltage, like one of the terminals got disconnected, or blown fuse or the voltage drooped to far for one of many reasons (drain, semi-short, etc).

The starter is on a separate fuse circuit probably which is why the bike can still start, so I'm guessing the battery is fine and it is a fuse. The circuits are described in the manual.

Do you have HID headlight?

thanks snooker, will be checking battery connection, etc.

AZ, No HID , still stock lights and they are OK.
I was able to set the clock with the bike off, and trip meters all started to work as I rode.
I have a new BMS-C about 7000 km ago.

He's alive and off of the Kato!

right, so the other week i removed the throttle spring as per the numerous instructions on here, and sure enough the throttle lightened up considerably. however, the grip is now not returning fully on one spring after i take my hand off it... didn't bother me too much as i would naturally return it anyway, but it failed scrutineering at a rally i was at recently, and i had to put the second spring back on for it to pass. and i don't reckon it'd pass an MOT either...

so anyone else had a similar problem?
