    What Will You Do This Winter?

    Guess I didn't realize that this was the norm for the Buell. Like I've stated on other posts of mine, this is a first experience with a Buell / Harley. All my other bikes have been I4's, except for the vfr. Think I'll redirect my attention to the scheduled maintenance, and that ought to...

    What Will You Do This Winter?

    Riding season is coming to a close and after getting the 9S running pretty decent I figure its time to do some pretty serious off season maintenance. What will you do? I've only got one cosmetic mod to do, that will be powder coating both rims. New bearings will go in of course. I think...

    Treatment for Saddlebags or Soft Luggage?

    So I asked in a previous thread, but thought I'd put one out here with the correct thread title. I have Buell saddlebags and the tail bag that goes with it. Also have a slightly larger Cortech tail bag that all came with my bike (it was quite the package deal). All the bags, especially the...

    Buell Saddle Bags - Model Specific?

    Nice looking yellow! Is that the cityx seat in the top pic? I had the low, then went with the regular. Still not happy with the seating position and might have to pick up a cityx seat...

    Buell Saddle Bags - Model Specific?

    Well, they are a kind of fabric like shell material. There isn't any separation anywhere, including on the zippers. But instead of black, they are more grey and have some areas that are rubbed and a little lighter. I have black detailer from Turtle Wax that I was considering trying, but I...

    Buell Saddle Bags - Model Specific?

    ^^^ Rep to you, sir. I had tried to put them under the seat but I didn't try very hard. Will give it another go. On a side note, these bags are rather faded from weathering. Any suggestions on treatment to restore the look and protect them? Armorall? Campdry?

    Buell Saddle Bags - Model Specific?

    Previous owner threw in a set of Buell saddle bags and the Buell tail bag that goes with them when I bought my bike. I was checking fit last night and the saddle bags don't seem to fit very well on my '03 Lightning. Are these bags model specific? The way they sit there doesn't seem to be...

    NO money LED flasher mod

    This is a great mod. My flasher case easily came apart. Clipped the leg instead of trying to desolder. Case went back together without silicon or glue. + 1 million to OP.

    Best helmet to helmet intercom?

    With the Chatterboxes we have, we wear disposable earplugs. Believe it or not, it makes the sound much better and much easier to hear.

    Ohio ride 8/23

    Darnit, missed your post about the 17th... Might have been able to meet up in Zanesville. That's the thing that erks me about this site, no e-mail notification on subscribed threads. [mad] Anyway, my Saturday is filling up fast, but I could try and catch you all early somewhere. Probably...

    Idles Fast When Hot?

    Mobil 1 20w50 for V Twins is what I'm running. Just put it in a couple hundred miles ago. Many thanks for the inputs. I was meaning to do an inspection of the oil pump drive gear but got sidetracked. Since its up on the table right now and I'm on call so I can't really go far, I might as...

    Idles Fast When Hot?

    I read where a TPS reset might be in order, but then I also read that lowering the idle would help. I set the idle to where the service manual spec'd and I was also having a problem with engine knocking due to low oil pressure from low idle speed. It was set a 950.

    Idles Fast When Hot?

    I had just installed bar end mirrors and thought that might have been part of the cause, but I removed the right side one and it didn't make any difference. FYI the snorkel was removed by the previous owner...

    Idles Fast When Hot?

    03 xb9s here... So, it seems to have developed a new issue and I'm not sure what is causing it. All I did recently was adjust the idle up to 1150. Seemed to be ok, but on a recent ride after getting good and hot, the idle wouldn't fall below 2500. Also, the throttle returns to its stop...

    Ohio ride 8/23

    I'd be coming from north east of Columbus, which makes this a little far south for me... However, I'd really like to meet some other Buellers so maybe I can jump in on the route somewhere along the way?

    Bottom End Knocking and Rattling, What to Do First?

    Well, there is a change in the situation. The idle was about 900 rpm. Spec says 1050 to 1150 so I upped it to 1100. The knock went away almost completely. This tells me that the idle wasn't set high enough to push oil to the vitals. Hopefully, nothing got harmed during the time, but I don't...

    Bottom End Knocking and Rattling, What to Do First?

    :( Well, I asked. I've been afraid of the answer. I really don't want to tear this motor apart, I've got so much on my plate right now between my job, my daughter and school at night. Back in the day, I'd sit in the garage all night in the winter time rebuilding VW motors, I'm sure this...

    Here's a video I just put up. Give a listen and see if you think this knock is a bad thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TlrIZHEc-w
