    09 xb12xt: 30mpg avg, dies 3-5 times at startup. oil pump vacuum... etc

    Done, again! I will be picking up my bike tomorrow after 4 weeks in the shop while my 5 pelvic fractures healed, so no real complaints on the timeframe. If Rossi can race, I can at least get the bike home... They went over all of the grounds, tried to blame a poorly wired ground where the ECM...

    Possible Buell Trade

    One thing could be (in part) the xb9 gearing. Made to shift faster, less top speed, more accel speed if i am not mistaken. Plus displacement... edit: I've never ridden one, so just guessing.

    Tires for cold weather? (not ice, just winter rubber compound)

    [re-reading OP, this might not actually apply. i.e. not really dealing with tire compound, and more for snow/ice. Good info for someone though!] I believe that the best bet would be to take the TKC80 knobbies, and add this to them: ADVrider.com: DIY motorcycle tire chains For serious...

    Crashed my 1125CR

    I believe "crazyhawk99" was the one to set up the last group buy. He may be able to put you in touch with the pelacrash people. Shoot him a pm, asking for info?

    Plastic swap? Your Barricade for my Racing Red?

    I don't care what they call it, it was the first color buell I fell in love with. You got a Dukes of Hazzard Orange set to trade by chance? I know red is the fastest color, but still... just not as tough-awesome-odd looking. p.s. sorry for the crappy cell pics. they really do nothing for the...

    Plastic swap? Your Barricade for my Racing Red?

    Hello, I am just fishing for anyone who would like to do a full plastics swap. I am looking for the flyscreen, airbox cover, chin fairing and beak from a Barricade Orange Uly. I would be willing to trade all my racing red plastics ('09 xb12xt: airbox cover, front fender, chin fairing...

    Needing to add oil

    My bike burned/used oil like crazy for the first 10000 miles. Turned out I did have a small oil leak, but either way Buells will do that. Also, did you buy it new or used? If you bought it used, the tube could very well be the breather reroute with no catch-can. (I.e. drain to environment.)...

    My 2009 XB9SX

    I have never seen a bike that looked so good with the blueing pipes. Very slick.

    Portland, OR. Paradise HD is the dealership I visit. You nearby?

    09 xb12xt: 30mpg avg, dies 3-5 times at startup. oil pump vacuum... etc

    Well, here they are. Videos of my STILL malfunctioning 2009 Buell Ulysses xb12xt. Link to my startup issue videos. I am done. Going in to the dealership with a copy of the oregon lemon law and requesting a trade or refund. I looked at the law, seem to qualify. If within 2 yrs or 24000...

    1K Service mixed experience (and oil question)

    @Baal: Make HD replace your oil and change it themselves while you watch. They made a mistake (although according to the posters above it seemingly is not a serious problem), and they ought to fix it. Accountability, I believe, is the applicable word here. They will never 'owe you one,' you...

    How-To: Crank Case Breather Mod (with pics)

    The catch can separates the oil from the air before it gets to the filter. The oil collects in the can, and needs emptied every so often. If there is no catch can, the spooge will build up in the filter. I think that riding w/ or w/o a catch can does not effect the riding or feel. If the...

    Always stalls first start...normal?

    Yeah, hopefully my problem was an isolated case. I sure hope it is not your problem as well. That being said, HD Tech services told the mechanics that stalling once at start was not abnormal. If it continues to do it (see the video in my post) then it could be more serious. Others...

    Always stalls first start...normal?

    well, my experience on this issue: (2009 xb12xt) My bike was doing this, but even worse. It would do it several times (5-6) before it started running. The dealer said (after repeated trips and stays at the shop) that what mine was doing was within normal running variance or something like...

    Driving Lights.

    Oh, and the "deathray" member was Treadmarks, from badweatherbikers.com and advrider.com. Not sure if he is on buellxb.com. "Deathray" was the name of his mod. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142838/256733.html?1170806888 The pictures are expired, but the setup is super...

    ( Thee ) exhaust mod by Captain Ron

    Really intrigued by that last set of pics. Ever since I saw the thread where the guy smashed the crap out of the inside pipe with a rock bar, I have been on the verge of doing something similar, and drilling was also suggested, I believe. Only question for PhastXB (and others) would be: what...

    09 xb12xt: 30mpg avg, dies 3-5 times at startup. oil pump vacuum... etc

    That is exactly what I found. According to motoman, the first 20 miles are the most important, which basically means that the ride from the dealership was my breakin ride. Puushed it to around 4.3k rpms a few times, nothing crazy. Hopefully that was enough. Time to ride! -K

    09 xb12xt: 30mpg avg, dies 3-5 times at startup. oil pump vacuum... etc

    Unfortunately, I have already put on about 30 miles of relatively easy break-in. I will just startt ridin the piss outta her, if its not too late. I know that my first break-in was using oil like crazy, but now I attribute that mostly to the cylinder scratches. The easy break-in seems to also...

    09 xb12xt: 30mpg avg, dies 3-5 times at startup. oil pump vacuum... etc

    Really? You really suggest I break it in hard? I have read that advice many times both here and on badweb. For some reason I have my hesitations, if only because of all the issues that I had with my motor. That being said, I might rather trust actual Buell owners on this one as opposed to...
