    My 06 xbs12 becomes unstable at 115mph+

    I asked about wheel weights a while back because I was experiencing the same wobble around 90mph. I wondered if it was because my front wheel was balanced using weights applied to the non disk side. I was advised to check tire pressure, mine was all wrong. I was advised to check suspension...

    Unsure of engine performance. Any thoughts?

    Makes sense. A while ago, there was a thread about using zip ties to hold open the valve in the stock muffler. Does this acheive a similar effect to the race pipe?

    Unsure of engine performance. Any thoughts?

    That's one of the first things I did when I bought the bike (tps reset). Seemed to idle too rough at startup. Found this forum and found that lil' nugget a wisdom. It helped then but I'm not sure how that would improve the bogging in first gear.

    Unsure of engine performance. Any thoughts?

    I'm the second owner of my 09 xb12scg. I have found that it has a race ecm, k&n filter, ngk plugs with a stock muffler. It has been running well with what I understand is normal decell popping. Lately though, when starting it up, it fires right up, runs rough for a moment if I don't rev it a...

    Mystery tool in the toolpouch

    This makes me think of when we used to give newbie scouts a balpeen hammer and a piece of chalk and make them check the armor on our Bradley fighting vehicle for soft spots

    Shifting without the clutch

    I was just wondering about this. A few times now, I accidentally downshifted before I applied the clutch. The first time it happened, I was a little surprised nothing disastrous happened since I had just read it was possible to upshift without clutch but not down. Snrusnak's explanation makes...

    09 XB12Ss parts for sale

    Thanks, not in any hurry, thinking I'll wait till I come across a pair. I have friction grips and I'm toying with the idea of going to bar end mirrors. Don't want to cut the friction grips though. Plus, the rizomas I have are nice.

    *NEW* - Upload Photos Of Your Buell

    Post more Germany photos! Miss that place. Wish I'd had my bike when I was there.

    I Like Blue and White

    Great photos! How'd ya download those, they gotta be bigger than 2mb. Think I'll look for one of those cameras. You've got a good eye. That bolt looks sharp. If you ever consider lowering it, I've been looking to trade for the longer black suspension parts that would raise my all black 09 scg.

    Oscillation beggining at ~160km/h - 100MPH

    Mine was doing that too at lower speeds until I got my suspension set up right for my weight and got the correct air pressure in my tires.

    Nearly dry dipstick

    Good info, thanks for your help guys. So after using 2.5 quarts as per the manual, and after topping off, I ended up using a full three quarts. I'll definitely be keeping a closer eye on my fluids.

    Nearly dry dipstick

    Yeah, I filled the filter. I followed the procedure in the manual. First time I've changed it since buying the bike in March. I haven't noticed any smoke either. Hopefully that means I haven't done any damage.

    Nearly dry dipstick

    Just changed my oil. Seemed like I had it topped off but after 50 or so miles of riding since then, was surprised to find only the tip of the stick wet. Added 450 ml more. I noticed the bike getting hotter than usual as I was getting close to home, that's what made me check. Glad I did. There...
