    early Spring PNW

    Hey Opto! Yeah my friends in Seattle are sending me all these crazy photos of the snowpocalypse you're having. Not to rub it in, but it was 60F and sunny along the SF coast yesterday. So please do come on down and let's hang out at the Whale City Diner.

    Hey Endo

    Holy schmoly, I thought it was just another run of the mill tire holder. That thing is more bling than any of my bikes!!! https://www.bikeradar.com/news/trust-message-linkage-fork-first-look/ Now the true "trust" fork was that stupid Girvin, and trusting it not to throw me Endo-verEnd on a...

    Hey Endo

    OK Cooter, you're welcome to our tree house. But only if you bike in those Guinness slippers

    Hey Endo

    It warms my heart to see so much love for pedal power. The rest of the forum is probably rolling their eyes at our love of 0.2hp machines. Outthere - a Bianchi Matta!?! I had never even heard of that before, but that sure is purdy. Wow. Clean lines. About the hot spots in your shoes...

    Hey Endo

    Ooohhh, that's some nice bike porn there [drool, drool, drool]. The Unicoi is actually a beautiful bastard child, as it's a Litespeed frame that licensed the Moots YBB shock. Yes Maverick made some cool bikes, and especially overbuilt forks. Didn't they have some of the first USD forks for...

    Hey Endo

    And have me change my forum name to 32:16??? Cooter would never be able to handle the two of us :eagerness: Between the terrain and my lack of fitness, there's no way I could push a singlespeed up our hills. I love the gear range of my double chainring. My full suspension bike still has a...

    Hey Endo

    Damn! Pretty darn good Aaron, you nailed it :eagerness: These bikes are around 15 years old, but could keep up with anything new out there. And as you say, they're eternally cool. Top one is actually the Tsali, made with the bigger tubes and 6/4 Ti. The YBB shock at the back is just...

    Hey Endo

    Ha, good one buddy! Here's some winter biking in Pacifica to motivate you. Now if you were a real bike geek, name the frames...

    XB12Ss Rear Shock infor from EBR

    I could also imagine that the lawyers at EBR would never let them state something equivalent to "sure, just swap out any random parts you see fit" even if that solution could theoretically just work out fine.

    More clutch lever pull needed for higher gears?

    Happy to report the lip is fine, no signs of any crack. Not even any herpes... :black_eyed: The lip even has the factory black paint overspray intact on its surface. Though yes I realize that doesn't indicate much about stress fractures. The outer ramp has some rough metal, but I'm thinking...

    New Buell for me.

    A gift battery from John?!? That thing is going to be so badass it'll add 25HP to your bike, and charge all nearby bikes automatically just due to its innate awesomeness.

    More clutch lever pull needed for higher gears?

    The instructions aren't explicitly posted (reasonable, as I'm sure he put a fair bit of R&D into the project). But I'm guessing it involves grinding off the lip, flush with the webbing of the cover, with maybe some sort of die grinder and then levelling smooth with a sander? And drill and tap...

    More clutch lever pull needed for higher gears?

    John, thanks as always for your thorough and erudite explanations. So teach me some more - Point 4 " result of either poor clutch pack/cable adjustment procedures thru the years...or sitting in gear, engine idling, clutch disengaged...for excess periods of time. " I thought motorcycle...

    More clutch lever pull needed for higher gears?

    Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I did take off the small round cover and things looked OK, at least to the point of checking that inner screw for tension. I didn't take off the round hook / "clutch outer ramp" whatchamacallit that the clutch cable attaches to. Can you inspect the shift pawls...

    More clutch lever pull needed for higher gears?

    On the theme of our bikes shaking everything loose... I tried to ride my '09 XB9SX with 14k miles over the weekend and for some reason couldn't get into 3/4/5th gears. Even clutchless upshifting didn't work. Trying to stay on the freeway past 55mph in 2nd gear was fun. Shifting 1-N-2 seemed...

    Cooter and Bubbles ride to Mumzys house.

    Really nicely written, sir! Thanks for letting us armchair travel along with you. I do miss the berries of the Pacific NW. That was an astute comment about a few folks together being really nice. But with a bunch of us together, we can become a crazy mob. Guess we hairless apes were really...

    Where to get XB fuel pump rebuild kits?

    Well there was a fuel pump thread that 34:19 and I derailed into talk of Skynet... https://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?56395-Back-at-it-again-Bike-warm-start-issue&p=623450#post623450

    You get an extra star for your 80's nerd cred! Did you see that "Ready Player 2" came out? Get your geek on! :cool:

    My first Buell big problems pls help

    Damn, well said Boss. Fielding - there are a lot of tremendously helpful people on this forum, but there is a limit to our collective patience. A huge part of learning how to fix your bike (or most things in life for that matter) is taking the time to study and let the knowledge sink in. We...
