    xb12s sometimes doesn't start

    Wow thanks for all the replies! No, I am sure it was not a compression bump. Even with a compression bump you should hear some clicking noise from the engine. In this case I hear nothing at all from the bike. Not a single click. I checked, I have a Yuasa battery in the bike. Couldn't read any...

    xb12s sometimes doesn't start

    Wow, a lot of info in those topics! Nice. Also the 2008 Buell XB Models Electrical Diagnostics Manual 99493-08Y looks like it will be very usefull. One question lunaticfringe. Why is the number one action to get the battery tested at a a shop? Like I said the engine cranks over at normal speed...

    xb12s sometimes doesn't start

    I don't know how old the battery is. I think it is just the regular one. It is fully charged and when the bike does start like normal (which it does most of the time) the engine cranks over with a normal speed and starts how it should. So my guess is that the battery is not the problem, right?

    xb12s sometimes doesn't start

    Hi, I have an 2004 xb12s which is an awesome bike. But, approximately one out of every four times I try to start the bike, it doesn't respond to the starter button. All is normal, i turn on the ignition key: headlights are on, I hear the fuell pump for a few seconds, three lights come on...

    Cooling fan won't come on

    Wait.. Why are the temperature settings for the '2008 XB12, BUE2D calibration.' so much higher than the '2004-2007s with BUEGB231 firmware'?

    Ok thank you very much!

    Cooling fan won't come on

    Yes that's weird. Does Buell specify the standard values? Or what is recommended? I live in the Netherlands by the way.

    Cooling fan won't come on

    Ok I've ordered the Buelltooth dongle and it was delivered very fast. I'm surprised how much there is to tweak with this device! Anyway, the fan tests shows that the fan works. But now the question, are the temperatures correctly set?

    Cooling fan won't come on

    Wow thank you all for the clear instructions. I will check it all. (when the temperature in my garage drops, that is :D) I've read some things about the diagnostic devices available and what would be a better choise, ecmspy with a cable to a computer or a bluetooth dongle with the app?

    Cooling fan won't come on

    Hi, I have a 2004 Buell xb12s. Since I have this bike I've never heard the cooling fan. Today it was very warm for this country (the Netherlands), +30 ℃ (= 86 ℉). I've ridden the bike for half an hour and still didn't hear the fan blowing. The bike was very hot. Even after half an hour of...

    Brake and clutch lever

    Yes thanks. Exactly my idea, don't like the cheap ebay parts. I'm going to try and find the original levers for a reasonable price.

    Brake and clutch lever

    Hi, I own a Buell xb12s for half a year, absolutely love it. Gives me a smile every time I ride it. It has 50.000 km's (31.000 miles) done and according to the Dutch registration system I am the tenth owner. I guess somewhere one of those 9 former owners has replaced the brake and clutch...

    xb12s right side cover / scoop

    Hi, Topic starter here. Ordered the scoop some time ago because of the advice here. Thanks! I think it suits the bike well. Had my first big ride with it today so here's a picture.

    xb12s right side cover / scoop

    Ok thanks for the extra info and the extra photo's. I'm convinced, It doesn't look that big and ugly, I'm going to buy the larger scoop set. Thanks again! By the way, I'm new to Buell and it is really great to see how much info there is to find. Also love the Do It Yourself attitude that I...

    xb12s right side cover / scoop

    Thanks for all the replies! Still in doubt. I like the part about keeping the engine cooler. But now I see the photo of Silverrider I think it is a bit big and ugly to be honest. Is it the "comfort kit", as referred to by lunaticfringe?

    xb12s right side cover / scoop

    Thanks for your answers. I think I'm going to read some more about the scoop before ordering one. I mean reading about if the larger one is needed or not.

    xb12s right side cover / scoop

    Hi, I've purchased this xb12s two weeks ago. Very fun bike to ride! I've noticed that the right side cover is missing. I've read about it and I've learned it is also referred to as the right side air scoop. My questions: - Is it crucial? Should I even ride without it? - Should I just order...
