    Buell XB ----how long can we keep em running?

    Back in the 70's I was quite into Triumphs and Nortons. The Tridents and Commandos I owned were only a couple of years old and parts supply was pretty erratic. I eventually moved onto Ducatis and now Buells but have rekindled my attachment to 70's British iron with a 71 Trident and a 71 BSA...

    Emergency Belt Joiner

    To be fair, our roads in NZ South Island are pretty rough at the moment due to the earthquakes and alternate routes and detours needed, quite often on roads never designed to take the load so getting cut up. It is getting better. I had full covers on my Ully, not sure about the others. I...

    Emergency Belt Joiner

    Hey Cooter, actually, parts supply is pretty good. We must have more rubbish on our roads out here as on a recent rally, 3 belts got broken including mine, hence the discussion. Fortunately I had a spare in my backpack and was back on the road in 40 mins. Belts are running at around NZ$350. Just...

    Emergency Belt Joiner

    XB9r wiring loom

    Hey Guys, I have a 03 Firebolt xb9r that was purchased with frontal accident damage and wiring loom has been sheared off upfront and broken relay boxes. I was able to get a mint loom off a xb12r complete with all of the relays and fuse boxes. Im not that flash with electrics so my question...

    Ulysses Fuel pump

    Hey Everyone, took the Ully out the other day and ran her a bit dry on fuel. After refuelling, I noticed she would die a slow idle till it stopped and the fuel pump seems to have a different noise now, doesn't seem as strong. Underway, she runs OK. I have resigned myself to fitting a new pump...

    Are all ECU's the same

    OK, any idea what ecu's across the Buell range will plug into a 07 Ully. Don't care about the map, just the compatibility of the plugs etc. Cheers, Stu

    Are all ECU's the same

    Hi, looking at buying a spare ecu for reflashing my Uly. Are all ecu's the same or are there differences that will trip me up. Cheers, Stu

    Ulysses issues

    Hi Everyone, just removed both wheels on the Ully for a tyre change and found the juddering front brake problem. Disc side wheel bearing was on the way out big time. Obviously, when the brake was applied, the whole wheel was moving. Fortunately bearings are cheap and I deglazed the disc while...

    Buell Jacket WTB

    Hi Everyone, been looking around for a nice Buell themed dress jacket. Not to flashy, you know subtle, sort of thing you could wear to the office. Doesn't seem to be alot out there. Any suggestions. Cheers, Stu

    Ulysses issues

    Hi everyone, had my Uly for about 4 months now and really enjoy it, well as much as my dodgy hips will let me. Few things that can be off putting though. She has a tendency to stand up and push to the outside of corners under brakes. It also really stuggles to soak up corrugations when...

    Ulysses slightly off song

    Hi Everyone, looks like I found the source of my slight surging and stuttering. I was out today in 26 degree heat and as has happened once before, the bike refused to start after being parked. As soon as I turned the ignition on, there was no sound of the fuel pump working. A quick wiggle of...

    Ulysses slightly off song

    Hi Everyone, thanks for the input. Im reluctant to do the breather re route as the DIY plumbing looks a bit tacky. What precisely does the re route improve or eliminate???. I have noticed that with the warmer weather coming on, the bike runs a whole lot better on hot 25 degree plus days...

    Ulysses slightly off song

    Hi Everyone, recently brought an immaculate 07 XB12X with 41k on the clock. Been well serviced by a fussy owner. I really like the bike and quite happy with all of the Buell quirks like fan coming on, hot right leg, clattery engine etc, thats what I signed up for. I have noticed that the...

    xb9r and xb12r wiring looms

    Hi Everyone, finally got my accident damaged xb9r on the road but not satified that I eliminated all of the problems with the original damaged wiring loom. I obtained a loom from a xb12r in great order and considering fitting it. Can anyone tell me if the xb12 loom will fit straight up...

    XB9R cuts out

    Cheers, thanks for the info. When it comes to checking spark lead insulation, I will use the factory aopproved tool..... "the wife". I'll go thru and check all of my grounds and insulation. Stu

    XB9R cuts out

    Hi Everyone, just got my accident damaged 04 xb9r back on the road. It's been laid low for about 3 years with only 5800km on the clock. On the first few rides it cuts out dead if I push her a long a bit, fine if just cruising but if I accelerate hard, the ignition just kills. If I turn the...
