    Check Engine

    black box is an exhaust valve actuator. actually it sometimes (if not always) making a self test (making some sound) before engine starts to secure that the valve in exhaust is closed. mho

    06 ULY With no power till hot, hot, hot

    some of that seems familiar for me too dying a couple of times at startup (not always, from time to time) - yes. loosing power for no reason & then babam & everything is ok (also from time to time) - yes. I continue to look after these thing until it will be absolutely annoying. I have thoughts...

    rear footpegs

    so strange because I bought this kit in (!!!) Russia, it was ordered from USA & arrived in ten days just about three weeks ago. strange that your local dealers can not get it.

    rear footpegs

    ok - easy as never before. you can use rear pegs from xb12Ss version. the main idea - to use pegs from long base xb model. but also you should consider that stock stt seat is not suitable for passanger for two reasons 1) it is very uncomfortable for passanger 2) if passanger is not a petit size...

    Frame Puck Question

    at my crash on xb9 frame puck didn't stayed on. as a result I had scratces on frame. I consider this happened because pucks were installed aftermarket, not as stock. on my stt pucks are stock & I don't want to know anything about if they help. buells are way too expensive to get repaired ))

    Why I love my Buell...

    2 fishqutz. pardon, cold war? I personnaly don't give a f about politics. I live in Russia for all of my life, lived in States for almost a year (Ohio), love both countries & basically understand that people of both countries are absolutely great. Besides that, politics screw up our heads with...

    Why I love my Buell...

    as you guys might remember it was told that "riding a buell you won't make any friends" & it's basically truth )) guys on jap bikes think of you that you payed too much for such a weak motor & something not so fast as their busas or gsx-rs. (compare power of most 600cc to our 1200 to figure out...

    My 2009 XB9SX

    yep, looks great & avesome! you gotta get exhaust to ride it loud & proud! ) how sad I can't get these pirellis here in Russia - these tires look great on Buells. I had them on my 12STT but got a HUGE stud in rear wheel in first 200 miles. had to throw away NEW tyres & put new but casual Dunlops.

    Interactive 12 exhaust vs. standard 9

    2 coreyvwc - you might have valve in open position - in this case you will achieve a better sound on 12 stock than 9 stock. with valve closed it should be more quiet. actually, that's what some guys do - open valve & disconnect wire from exhaustn (seen a couple of messages in Ulisses treads).

    Swapping from a 984 to 1203?

    2 Mike Van V yes - 12 will win the race from 0 to 100 but in everyday city riding (which is not only 0-100 but also traffic, just for a reason) 9 on my opinion is more comfortable. maybe it's about engine/gearbox coupling, maybe about throttle response on midrange revs, maybe both. anyway, it's...

    1K Service mixed experience (and oil question)

    oil qestion part two. can anybody tell me what is the correct way to check oil level on 08MY xb series. I know about "hot oilcheck on sidestand after 10 min ride", but I've heard that Buell had some bulletin for dealers as soon as oil pump taking some amount of oil from swingarm to motor after...

    Swapping from a 984 to 1203?

    my opinion is that 9 is not that much worser than 12. I had 9 for two years & now have 12 for 2'nd year. on 9 motor there is more response on the throttle, you don't have any headacke with exhaust valve & actual differense in HP is not such a thing you feel strongly. I had a chance to compare. 9...

    Always stalls first start...normal?

    2 7Mary3 - same story, 2008 XB12STT. time to time, basically after 2-3 days of not riding it would start idle the die in 2-3-4 seconds. hit button again then it's fine. sometimes it's idling from 1000 to 1100 while warming up. don't even want to think about what oisterska told us.

    Always stalls first start...normal?

    2 oisterska have you mentioned any power loss during your 10K miles with scratches in the cylinders? btw - what you've done is absolute win - to get new engine under warranty is an issue by itself. take care, Fedor Moscow

    10% Power difference US and EU 2010 models.

    2 LeFox (a bit offtop) I personnaly know Marcello from FreeSpirits - he is such a great person & a very talanted engeneer. I once travelled all the way from Moscow Russia to Marcello's place just to get a chance to talk to the man himself. In a couple of days I will install a bunch of his stuff...

    10% Power difference US and EU 2010 models.

    henri66, guys from Italy (FreeSpirits.it) got exhaust for EU headers but without calalyser (408 model), also they got upgraded ecm for concrete exhaust model. if you change both - dyno results show hp & torque increase. pardon if conserned as adv.

    Are We To Blame (partially) ?

    Are We To Blame (partially) ?

    actually never thought about it but if not a sportster engine lightning/firebolt would have never been a true Buell. I'm (as all of us) absolutely unhappy about what happened to Buell & also think that hd management have done smth VERY stupid closing Buell dpt but besides that, lets be ture -...
