    Engine noise from my XB12R

    So, the 'tap-tap-tap' I hear while idling is normal? Good. It started hearing it after switching to HD Syn - so I'm switching back to Mobil 1 20/50 racing oil.

    Buell XB12R Braking

    Well, as expected, I got my stitches out this morning, went home at lunch and grabbed the bike for a "brisk" mid-western ride back to work. Since I flip-flopped the brake pads, the vibration has almost completely disappeared, however, it's been replaced with a grinding feeling. Rather than even...

    Buell XB12R Braking

    LeFox, Thank you for the heads up on that, I really don't know all that much about the history of the bike other then the very recent (bought in January). I've personally put about 50 miles on it so far. Can you recommend some decent pads? Thank you! -J

    used firebolt

    cmekillu, I'd be hesitant paying that much for a bike with 20k on it, unless the person selling was a close friend of mine and I could observe their riding style. That being said, it's entirely up to you, I recently got into an 04 XB12R and would have been willing to pay a heck of a lot more...

    Buell XB12R Braking

    LeFox, By highside, I mean it's rubbing in one area as I spin the wheel. I can hear it hitting the brakepads even though the brakes haven't been applied, it's very faint but I am able to hear it. Am I asking for trouble by swapping which side the pads are on if they aren't brand new? Would...

    Buell XB12R Braking

    Hey everyone, I had surgery on my wrist , I get the stitches out on Thursday. I have done some work to the bike. I wasn't able to do much though with a bum wrist. Anyhow, I swapped the brake pads around, one of them is wearing a little differently than the other, but only by 1 mm. One pad has...

    Buell XB12R Braking

    Wow, thank you to everyone who responded! This is great! I've got to tell you, I used to belong to a jap bike forum (r1forums) and I couldn't get anyone to answer intelligently about an exhaust issue I was having. This is unbelievable. Ok, so a few questions, and please bear with me: 1. What...

    Buell XB12R Braking

    Howdy, New to the XB forums, new to Buell actually. I've got an 04' XB12R that I picked up out of Detroit recently. The bike's got 8k on it, with about 3k on the front tire. I only bring it up because I wonder if the front tire was installed incorrectly. When I brake using the front brake...

    racepro716, Can you elaborate on the process of changing out the rear plug? I've heard that persistence is the key here....
