    Is a 2007 xb12s Actuator compatible with 2009 xbss

    Not ready to pull the trigger on an aftermarket exhaust yet (got some minor maintenance and such to pay for first), but my IEV actuator stopped working. Found a used actuator off a 2007 - looks like Serial SO138.2AA 6243. Is a 2007 xb12s actuator compatible with a 2009 xb12ss? Hoping to get...

    Belt rub = low tone squeaky sound? Primary Drive belt rubbing

    I have an 2009 xb12Ss. Is there a way to know which rear wheel bearings I need before pulling the wheel? I understand most have a 2 bearing set vs the newer have a 3 bearing set. And is there a tutorial on the site for removing the rear wheel and/or bearings? I have the manual and see directions...

    Belt rub = low tone squeaky sound? Primary Drive belt rubbing

    Thanks for the information. Going to check in with a local mechanic about replacing wheel bearings. And thank you for the clarity between the primary drive chain and the final belt drive.

    Belt rub = low tone squeaky sound? Primary Drive belt rubbing

    Sorry for the lame description of the sound. Noticed an odd sound that I first attributed to my front brake rotor as a mechanic I first took it to suggested the rotor is slightly warped, but not in need of replacement yet. Despite that, I've been riding for about 400 miles, and noticed a...

    Choosing my first Buell ! Advice needed !

    Couple thoughts. I went with the xb12Ss because of the extra wheel base length (54" vs 52" for the xb12S). I'm 6'1" and can flat foot the bike. There is a slight difference in seat height between the 2007 and older xb12Ss and the 2008 and newer models. Spec says it's 30.1" vs 30.6". Not too...

    Throttle Response?

    I'll walk through the suggestions you made. Yes, the bike was warmed up for over 15 minutes before I made the video.

    Throttle Response?

    So, I warmed the bike up, and then took this video to show the throttle response. Not experiencing any problems at all, save the initial throttle response lag. Is this normal? And to provide context, my IEV actuator failed. It is turned off using ecmspy, and the IEV valve cable is secured wide...

    One Taillight not working?

    Well, that was fun. Pulled apart both rear tail light assemblies. Broke off a tab on one of the covers. Swapped bulbs...and the same issue - left turn signal in the rear doesn't work, while the front left turn signal blinks at a faster rate. So, I pulled off the seat and immediately found the...

    Thank you. I'll work through your troubleshooting suggestions.

    One Taillight not working?

    2009 Buell xb12ss. I did the dual headlight wiring trick so that both headlights are on with high beams. Works great. But, just noticed that the LEFT turn signal is not working properly. The LEFT front signal flashes quickly while the rear signal does nothing. The RIGHT turn signal works as...

    Leaking Clutch line - 07 xb12Ss

    thanks for the information fellas. This is very helpful and confidence inspiring. I'll probably go the full replacement route if my brother can make a deal on the bike. All the best.

    Leaking Clutch line - 07 xb12Ss

    Looking to buy a 2007 xb12Ss with 25k. Has a slight fluid leak from the clutch line where it goes into the transmission. Not being a mechanic, is this an easy fix? Worse case - what might it cost to replace the clutch (just trying to go into the sale with clear eyes and an appropriate offer)?

    2009 Buell xb12Ss for sale

    THIS BIKE IS NO LONGER FOR SALE. Did some soul searching - demo rides (Indian FTR 1200S $20,000!!!), and decided to keep this ride for a bit longer.

    2009 Buell xb12Ss for sale

    12sechatch - I understand the hesitation. I bought this from a Harley dealer in Oregon. had it shipped. Turned out the bike was in great shape. had a local Buell mechanic go thru it, and all he ended up doing was changing the oil. The rear tire is ready to be replaced (probably wise to replace...

    2003 XB9 and 2009 XB12 PART OUT

    Is the Interactive Exhaust Valve working on the 2009 xb12ss? (The doo-hickey on top of the air filter that controls the exhaust valve in the muffler)

    XB12 aftermarket exhaust for sale

    Thanks for the heads up 34nineteen. I was aware a new-to-me muffler won't solve that issue. Kind of stuck in a hard place cause I ain't got the dough to go with a $1,000 exhaust (muffler, new ecm, install, etc). But, I'm not happy with stock exhaust. So, I'm exploring other options for a short...

    XB12 aftermarket exhaust for sale

    What did you replace this with, and what were your reasons? I have a stock exhaust (2009 xb12ss) and I'm in a position to either fix the stock or go aftermarket. All the best.

    Which device to check error codes?

    Yes. I ran the diagnostic/setup test from the manual with the engine off. The Actuator did not move at all.

    Which device to check error codes?

    UPDATE: Using the manual I tested the actuator - BUT, it does not move at all. o close the valve in the muffler, cycle the actuator: a. Hold the throttle wide open. b. Turn the engine cut-off switch to RUN. c. Turn the ignition/light key switch ON. d. Watch the actuator cycle close/open/close...
