    rough or no start, no idle

    Doing good Kenny, nice to hear from you. Thx for the reply. I’m only in NY until Saturday then back to California. A friend of mine bought this bike to leave here in NY so we can ride. It’s been a while since I pulled a fuel pump. Way back my 06 Uly got that rubbed wire problem that causes a...

    rough or no start, no idle

    New to my buddy: 2008 XB12scg, 4,300 miles. Sat for 11 years or so in Florida. Suspect cannabilization of parts have occurred. We're presently in Upstate NY and not too cold out yet to affect anything like a cold start. I posted earlier about milky primary fluid. We're in the process of...

    Primary oil milky

    Thanks Cooter, I'll see if my buddy wants to take off the Primary and clean. Picking it up today from the tire shop.

    Primary oil milky

    Thanks John, I'll take your advice and have him change the primary oil a few times until it cleans up. Check for all the leak areas you mentioned. Run it hot a few times. When I opened the drain plug I was like: WTH? It was a Florida bike, so with all the water there it makes sense. To be...

    Primary oil milky

    Hey Everybody, My buddy just bought a 2008 Buell XB12scg. Looks good with a few exterior issues, blinkers removed, mirrors removed, etc. Nothing too difficult to resolve. The bike has 4,300 miles. He had it shipped up to him and we decided to give it the once over. Oil level fine so we...

    Do You Carry a Spare Belt

    When riding cross country I didn't carry an extra belt, but what I did was have a spare at home. I let my wife know where to find any of my parts. If I needed anything I could have her overnight anything I might need.

    We're goin' racin'!

    I watched a MotoGP race at Laguna a few years back in person. The corkscrew is legendary. The Stoner vs Rossi race is epic. Racers say there's not one point on that track that you can relax and let er rip. Have fun and good luck.

    Neutral light went out temporarily

    Green light went out again. I took the opportunity to try to start in in neutral with clutch in and out. It wouldn't start with clutch out, but started with clutch in, so I think that confirms the switch is bad. So I ordered the switch today from my local HD dealer. $17.50. Another thing, I...

    Neutral light went out temporarily

    Thanks guys, that's a tremendous amount of help. I'm gonna order the switch and when/if the light goes out I'll change it out. This might be the first glitch I've ever had on this bike. It's been rock solid reliable for years.

    Neutral light went out temporarily

    If I was to solo ride to Alaska it'd be on my Uly, not my SS, LOL. BUT, if I clean up that switch I'm thinking at least 3 beers.

    Neutral light went out temporarily

    Thanks, it seems you're on to it with engine junk. The light is on now. I jumped the gun a bit by posting and was surprised to see lots of previous threads on this subject. Much more common than I thought.

    Neutral light went out temporarily

    I jumped on my 2007 SS today and when looking for neutral I couldn't get a green neutral light on the dash. After a few moments I let the clutch out slowly and realized I was in fact in neutral, but the green dash light wasn't coming on. I rode on for a little bit and tried a few more times...

    Beer run driver needed. Free beer

    I rode around Pismo today on my Uly looking for a Buell parked out in front of every strip joint, tattoo parlor, house of ill repute and dive bar I could think of to no avail. Are you sure you were in Pismo today Cooter?

    Will do, thanks.

    Another Buell Temp Sensor question

    Yes, the problem is the fan has not been coming on after shutting the key off. I have 2 Buells and the 07 SS sings like Dolly Parton when I shut it off. I'm pretty sure it's been coming on while riding. Sorry for the vague answer on that, (I"ve been away from home for a while and have been...

    Another Buell Temp Sensor question

    All is not for waste when it comes to the sensor removal, however. Looking at the sensor wire I have chafing in a couple of places. They're not bad enough to prevent end to end continuity, but now I can wrap it in some kind of heat resistant tape or something to prevent a problem down the road.

    Another Buell Temp Sensor question

    The chart which shows that the ohm meter readings I made closely correspond with the chart, which also tells me my original temp sensor is likely good, which also tells me I made a bonehead mistake, which also tells me I need to continue troubleshooting.
