    Lower is Better?

    I'm thinking I can raise the front forks in the triple clamps(not positive). YES you can until the limiter ring on each tube bottoms out into the upper triple clamp. YES...the XT shock will fit direct bolt-on. Reservoir-to-adjuster hose just a tad shorter than X but fits.

    2003 Buell XB9R codes 13, 14, 15, and 16

    the revs don't come don't below 4k or 5k rpm even while parked If true, this needs to be resolved immediately or engine will self-destruct in short order. FC's 13...14...15 all a result of your ECM seeing inconsistent resistance values it doesn't like. Check all your grounds which on 2003...

    Just wondering if the XB brains trust could recommend a thread that suggests an option for simply having the ability to pull error codes on a 2009 XB12Ss ? Click link....see my name...

    Excess smoke through the PVC.

    Chris: Got your PM and IMO the color of the vapor plus the "huffing" nature of the vapor pulses sure seems consistent with piston rings failing to fully seal. Perhaps, on a room temp motor, remove the plug and squirt an ounce or so of either Kano Kroil or diesel into the cylinder....let it sit...

    Excess smoke through the PVC.

    Hey Chris how you doing???? In the automotive world....that combination of engine not fired for several years along with excess smoke and pressure now coming from the PVC feed area and the PVC valve itself is almost always piston/cylinder related. Check that your exhaust is flowing freely then...

    Front rotor alignment mark?

    Yes Sir my pleasure. I have no experience with balancing beads but if Jimmy says they work well then perhaps give them a shot. Have never seen it mentioned in service or owners manual but when doing any tire work in the future...always try to find the paint "dobs" that the Italians put on the...

    Front rotor alignment mark?

    I have a center punch mark on one of the mounting tabs; does this just go to the closest position to the stem? This doesn't quite match the instructions in the manual. YES Front caliper mounting bolts torqued to 25 ft-lbs......in "star" pattern sequence Align tire manufacturer sidewall...

    2007 XB12SCG won’t Idle or go above 3k rpm

    My pleasure Sir. Random gauge cluster "cycling" in conjunction with erratic engine behavior is almost always associated with wild voltage fluctuations. The electrical tests you mentioned on performing are spot-on....and take a look at your AFV values AND cleanliness of the contacts for your...

    Clutch hub

    Confusion reigns supreme. Front sprocket nut is right hand threads Clutch hub nut is left hand threads Do NOT use an impact wrench on sprocket nut or clutch hub nut Use locking plate and breaker bar for both nuts After removing the clutch hub nut there is a dedicated directional thrust washer...

    Keyless gas cap

    Yes Sir my pleasure. Link Cooter provided good choice for OEM. All XB fuel caps fit all XB models all years. The only maintenance they require is a once-a-year very light oiling of the sealing gasket and latching fingers and a short blast of lubricant down the key slot. OEM installed correctly...

    XB9S Gas Tank (Frame) cleaning Help

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks for the kind words Shaughn. Do NOT reinstall and attempt to start with that pump in place. You run a serious risk of clogging the fuel system including both injectors........and having the electric pump motor short to pump-housing ground causing potential ECM damage.

    ECM died on XB12XT. Which one to get?

    ^^^^^^^^ Damn awesome info Steve

    Keyless gas cap

    Both GSD and EBR once offered a decent keyless frame fuel cap that fit all XB models. Appears both offerings disappeared several years ago. Welcome to the world of Buell. HARLEY DAVIDSON PART # P0153.02A8 still available---OEM NEW cap with pair of matched keys. System has QTY 68. List price...

    O2 sensor Bosch po277.5aa 09 xb12ss question

    Sure thing Cody. Link below might help with correct O2 selection. The Bosch appears correct....the Walker # has a better choice. See if that helps. The front mount bushing set part # is S0136.02A8---Factory shows NLA but Chaz has them if you're still in need...

    Newbie Electrical Problem

    Well done and Cooter nailed it right out of the box as battery cable culprit. In all likelihood you'll have FC #16 stored from all this CEL activity. It will be wiped from the ECM memory after 50 "clean" run cycles. You have 3 relays located in your fuse box. They are ACC....KEY...
