    Spastic tach

    As mentioned, I checked the ECM connectors pins and wires. I did check the pink wire early in the troubleshooting process for continuity while parked; no issues there. Not sure how to safely do so while riding; any suggestions for doing this? I have not pulled the pink wire and checked if the...

    Spastic tach

    Well, family and work issues have kept me from working on her. I pulled the ECM And did an extremely fine check, again, of wires and pins. I did fin a very tiny crack in the Pin 2 wire on the black connector. Pulled it from the connector and fixed. Did the same with the tach wire and all wires...

    Spastic tach

    Update. Have not been on the Buell since late last fall. Have started her up regularly to keep her from feeling totally rejected. Got the COVID at end of January and it really kicked my butt for about 6 months and the heat this summer in TX was brutal. Finally took her out a couple weeks ago...

    Buell as a first bike?

    I got off bikes when wife was pregnant with #1 when we lived in a third floor apartment in CO. Her exact words were, “you can have your motorcycle or we can have a house.” My Sportster became the down payment on the house. Only took me 16 years to get back on with my ‘04 XB12S.

    poem

    Have posted and done a ton of troubleshooting. Runs fine, no error codes, and no issues showing up in data logs. Narrowed down to an electrical issue, surprise! Worked through cleaning grounding points, checking tach wire from ECU, the tach itself, … starting to think it might be the ECU. Have a...

    Sad, but true.

    This forum has been priceless for wise, knowledgeable, expert, and practical advice and information that would be near impossible to get anywhere else. Once I figured out who I should listen too and who was a little overconfident in their opinions I knew I could count on the realizability of the...

    Welcome to the Buell family and all our crazy relatives that most families don’t talk about. Being a “reader” is a great place to start. The forum is an archive of helpful information, insights, wisdoms, and hours of entertaining musings.

    2000 Thunderbolt S3

    Saw this one owner 2000 Thunderbolt S3 on Craigslist. If I had the cash, I would be making the trip to check it out. Not many one owner, low miles, good looking ones around. Thought others on here might be interested...

    AFV Questions

    ^^^^Words of wisdom. Having gone through the process of tuning my 04 XB12S (which entailed a lot of reading, rereading, and asking questions to the point that I thought I got it), I still made mistakes along the way. Understanding the process, how the ECM works, what you are wanting to...

    How well do the glassless mirrors work? Also wondering how the wear or stay reflective over time?

    New friend

    Always been curious about the beast and how it compares. More HP, torque, electronics but how about handling? Love that I can do nearly all my own maintenance on my 04 XB12S. How easy is maintenance?

    Fix for the Primary Cover

    Bought the kit and did the replacement several years ago after similar problems. One of the best, most professionally made, and well laid out instructions of any repair, mod, or upgrade I have done to my 04 XB12S. Great to see Dave is still doing this and helping keep our beloved OG Buells on...

    Revision Moto XB-SG Slip-On Exhausts

    Crap! Glad you are okay. Bikes can be replaced but you can’t. Had to have been a heck of a save. Regarding Hawk, I posted the following back in 10/19 “ FYI. I gave Randy a call this summer with a simple question. About 45 minutes later I learned that he is retiring, moving to central America...
