While you are at it check then in that area due to the wires most likely got hot over time and the Rubbing was actually the wires were hot and kinda glued themselves together and after some more riding over time after that the small spot rubbed and vibrated around...

    Engine Light on when I brake hard...

    JJs XB9Sx- Which light the RED for Oil or Yellow for low fuel OR low Fuell pressure? If you have a hard stopping event that happens then usually it means Fuel is low if the Yellow light comes on. The red light comes on at hard stopping if Oil is old and needs to be changed or Oil filter could be...

    04 xb12r sputter from idle

    Make sure to check the Throttle tube for wear before adjusting. The actual proper way to take sloppiness out of the cables is to remove the Air Box cover. THEN the outer cover holding the Air filter no matter which year so as to remove the Air Filter. Start by twisting the Throttle and...

    Rear cylinder

    Make and year of bike always helps. Ngk DCPR9EIX spark plugs are a little bit better than some other brands then checking the wires .Coil check is always a good place to start. Injectors test and always do a simple TPS reset if it is an 2008 plus bike. . Checking the Head gaskets and...

    04 xb12r primary cvr

    The 04 and 2005 cover is almost the same and CAN be hard to come by. LSHD 1 .com may have a cover for you. Try the reinvented option for the repair of your original Transmission [primary] cover, I myself have done that repair many times for a couple of customers in my shop. Works very well...

    Race Gas Opinion

    the 91 Octane fuel will work fine for your Street bike with an Buell XB- Air Cooled Engine. May not want to treat your Buell like the dirt bikes. The fan will keep down the heat as much as possible. You can use a SMALL amount of 104 octane or a small amount of 110 octane and it will help a...

    ROUGH IDLE THEN DIES

    May have to fix that gasket. Once the engine gets hot it may cause more damage than just a blown gasket .Original gaskets work well for the repair in that area. Then reset TPS when all is complete. Run a compression check on both Cylinders after all is done. hope that is all it is. *Jimi

    Wierd tuner module..??

    Yes lets leave the Doohickies all of us real Men have them. That Said the Possible Fuel Controller is probably for just adding extra fuell for that bump of power. There are plenty of those Controllers around so a picture is a easy way to figure it out. If you possibly buy the bike or someone...

    04 xb12r sputter from idle

    Possible intake seals possible Spark Plugs. Run a 1/4 of the bottle of Seafoam from a full bottle and a Full fill up on your bike.. The Slight Sloppiness that some think is happening most likely the Throttle Cables are good UNLESS someone else messed with them at a time before. The ECM is...

    Primary Gear Oil

    Redline is a good choice. The Amsoil products are good as well, the Shockproof heavy is what I run in my 2009 XB12 R racebike . Tracks and drags are a lot more damaging to anything. I Change the 1125s AND use Amsoil 20/60 in it and change it as close to the miles needed as possible. The...

    no headlights and no button start

    Glad you got it done. The Exhaust on the Bike the Stock Muffler you can cut out the Valve and pipe that area and it will sound really good and midrange torque will pick up slightly. Plus you won't have to worry about the Engine becoming a Oil Burner quickly Check out some You Tube videos on the...

    When it comes to Brakes Cheap is not a good idea! It is your Life just remember that when anybody is trying to stop and control the Bike at the same time. Lyndall Racing Brake pads are some of the best I use them on the Track due to heat issues Great for traffic and the Street also.. They...

    bilke running extremly lean

    Drebinpk, may want to check the Intake Gaskets they are cheap and sometimes cause that problem. If that is not a problem next Xoptiinside .com for a cable and the drivers I believe part of that is free. The newer Buells 2008 through 2010 need Either Tuner pro/ Ecm Read I believe to use on the...

    no headlights and no button start

    Oh Yeah, one more thing it has been a while since I have seen a code 21 which is the Inneractive Exhaust Actuator up inside the Air Box.. That came to me after I had posted earlier. That will not create the problem you have explained. It will be a different problem The Problem will be...

    no headlights and no button start

    Welcome to the Forum.You may want to do the Code check again due to I have never seen a code you are describing on a Buell in 33 years.. That Said remove the battery and have it load tested somewhere at an auto parts store especially if the Battery is more than 3 years old.. Then Reinstall the...

    low idle on first start up

    Yes it does sound like intake seals due to you having to twist the throttle at all on start up Hot or Cold. The Throttle should not need to be used till ready to ride. Try a test and make sure ,most likely the intake seals will need to be replaced. The seals are Inexpensive.. Take your time , *Jimi
