    XT Luggage

    If you have all the racks and hardware to mount them that comes standard on the XT, I'd say $700-800 if in decent shape. I think new the price was over $1000 for the X model aftermarket upgrade.

    2008 XB12XT Poor Idle & Backfire

    Well, almost $1100 later the shop claims it's solved the problem with a new ECU.

    I LOL'd! Uly for sale!

    This is how they sell bikes in Texas?

    2008 XB12XT Poor Idle & Backfire

    Next Chapter in My Little Saga: After paying for the idle air motor plus another $95 for the diagnosis (I always thought a diagnostic charge came off the repair bill, what happened there?) I rode it to work on Thursday. On the way home I "diverted" to a little twisty back road and was just...

    Performance, what's up?

    I hit 121 mph indicated on my Uly on I-40 coming out of Williams AZ a couple of years ago and had plenty left over if I'd wanted to keep the hammer down. Two things prevented me, I was getting blown around by trucks I was passing and I couldn't(still can't) afford a ticket at that speed. I think...

    2008 XB12XT Poor Idle & Backfire

    Post Mortem: After not getting any reaction to BuellyBagger's wiggle test, I did seal up the ECM and ride the bike again. Again, after a short (100 mile) ride the idle started doing it's possessed by demons thing. So, regretfully, I took it into the HD dealer for a diagnostic and was told...

    WTH did I do?

    I'll be hoping you find a relatively minor (read: "cheap") solution to your problems as they sound an awful lot like mine. Hey maybe Buell built all these bikes with a planned lifespan so they'd all go to pieces at the same time and we'd all have to buy new replacements. Reading all these posts...

    Stator or Voltage reguator?

    If you don't mind my asking, what's with all the posting about rotors and stators here and on the 1125 forum? Is this a weak part of the Buell design? I don't think I've ever heard a complaint from HD owners about this. In fact about the only complaint in 20K miles of riding my Softail is it's...

    2008 XB12XT Poor Idle & Backfire

    Buelly, Many thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a stab at that. Even if it doesn't confirm a problem, I think I'm going to cut away some of the seat shell and make sure it can't put any more pressure on the part. I think I'll also use the sealant. Even if it's not the source of the problem, it...

    2008 XB12XT Poor Idle & Backfire

    I went out for another look and to do the TPS reset just now. When I looked really hard at the ECM I noticed very fine cracks in the rubber case at juncture with the forwardmost of the two multiplex connectors. It looks as though maybe the seat has been putting pressure on the connector itself...

    2008 XB12XT Poor Idle & Backfire

    Looked at my ECM (again) yesterday and couldn't see anything wrong with it but having some of the same issues (see the other post). What struck me was it looks like my brain box is already positioned forward of the battery and there's a hard rubber guard attached to a bracket on the seat pan...

    07 Uly Cutting Out

    Lunatic, thanks for getting back so quickly. My Uly is an 09. I didn't see anything that looked like a rubbing or connection fault when I first had the problem last month. The saddle is an aftermarket tall seat from Buellparts.net that I've ridden for almost two years. I'll look at it again and...

    07 Uly Cutting Out

    Well, I found no obvious electrical issues under the saddle. I thought possibly the problem was my starting the bike right away without allowing the CEL to extinguish so I stopped doing that and had no further problems until this weekend. Rode 100 mi from sea level to 7,000' and back down to...

    07 Uly Cutting Out

    No headlight problems but I will check battery and ECM connections and hope for an easy solution.

    07 Uly Cutting Out

    Not to steal Rainman's post but I just came back from a nice, 172 mile ride and my bike died at the traffic light a mile from my house. I was able to relight the fire and keep it running by judicious throttle management but the check engine light was illuminated and stayed on the rest of the way...

    Heated Gear with Uly

    Thanks, Lunatic. I don't know who makes the Harley gear but that's consistent with the data book they provide. I have a direct tap with fuse that came with the thermostat and I'll install that. I was hoping to just use a cig lighter adapter running under the seat but you've put your finger on...

    Newbie Alert, Today I bought 2009 Ulysses !

    Jackdaddy, be advised, should you remove that cannister you'll have to plug the open breather tube or it will allow oil to build up all over the underside of the engine. Some of my California brethren think it's an OK tradeoff with what they think is a performance issue but I can tell you their...

    Heated Gear with Uly

    So 15 Amps in a new inline connection made to the battery, a la my Softail setup, is what I need. Thanks.

    Fork seal help

    Thanks, Lunatic. I'm working on that but I am a little concerned the indys I've spoken with in the past don't seem too familiar with Buells. One went so far as to tell me "sure, we work on Sportster 1200 engines all the time"! Hoo Boy!

    Heated Gear with Uly

    I've been awfully disappointed in the performance of my heated jacket and gloves while riding my Uly. I bought the stuff from HD and it works really well on my 2010 Heritage Softail but, using a cig lighter adapter from HD plugged into the aux outlet under the Uly's seat and run out to the vent...
