    Best throwing items?

    I got hit right in the mouth in Flagstaff going to school one day with a luggi. It hit me right in the mouth. I swear I tasted the whole thing. I saw it girating right at me. I was on a 85 BMW K100RS. I have never been hit with anything as bad as that thing was. It came from way down that...

    Starter quit starting

    I took the yellow switch apart at least down to where I could see the contacts and screws that hold the wires on. Sure nuff there was rust on the screw head and white powder water deposits on the brass washers and the spring loaded contacters had more of the same. Scotch brite (red) took care...

    Starter quit starting

    Flash!! I went back out to the shop and thinking about the starter button. Turned on the ignition and pushed on the button and nothing yet, I wiggled and pushed and got intimate with that little cheap piece of plastic and suddenly I got it to turn over! I will remove the right side handle bar...

    Starter quit starting

    Hello fellow buellers. Bike: 2005 Firebolt XB12R, 16000 miles I went to the store this morning and pulled in to the drive thru window and made the purchase. Turned the key on all gauges swept, fuel pump running, all dash lights on. Hit the starter button and it turned over but didn't start...

    Rear Tire Repair

    The best way to fix a tire is to put a plug in from the outside and then put a patch on the inside of the tire. the one on the inside will probably have to be put in by a tire shop

    Horn free fix?

    My 05 XB12R has a broken horn mount. I bought the bike with 16K on it second hand. By sticking my hand up under and inside the fairing I can feel the horn dangling but gently resting on some wiring. Was this a recall or an original owner warranty fix? Can I take into my local dealer and get...

    Do I have a race ECM or not??

    OK, if my 05 firebolt XB12R came with the polished two dump muffler is there a good chance that the ecm is the race ecm. I know the previous owner did not know the difference. So far I have had no issues with it and I want to be sure and keep it that way. If it ain't broke don't be fixin on it

    New Battery

    I have an 05 Firebolt and I think it needs a new battery. It seems that Buell in order to save weight and keeping everything as trim as possible they have designed the bike on the very hairy edge of having not enough battery power to do the job. On the compression stroke it fails sometimes to...

    Texas Twisted Sisters

    Just a short request for info on where to stay if coming from the north Texas area down. Where is a good place to stay if I'm coming down IH35 and turning west to Kerrville? Only need an over night stay that is clean and cheap. It would be nice to make the 335, 336, 337 loop on the first day...

    Front Brake Problem

    Was the rotor replaced? It could be that the pads have not seated to the new position of the rotor. Give it some break in miles there's a good chance that it will cure itself once the pads get used to either a different rotor or position of the original rotor since there is a different front...
