    Help!

    Not yet. Will try tomorrow. Did burn a race map a few weeks ago. What a headache that was. Once loaded and OEM plugs back in (fouled two sets of NGK Iridium plugs), bike ran relatively well. Still fires and idles fine. Currently, I'm not willing to let it idle for more than a few seconds...

    Help!

    Connector by oil sending unit intact. Everything on this build is buttoned down.

    Help!

    Engine is '05. Bike is made up of many Buells. Started life as a western XB9S. Engine original lower end. New cylinders and pistons, used heads. Bike has never failed to fire or run. Assembled last fall. Not yet registered. May be track bike or street. Therefore, have only ridden around...

    Help!

    XB9 build. While on routine ride around block to road test, oil light came on. Oil level normal. Oil clear. There has only been a couple of miles logged since oil change. No visible leaks. No smokey exhaust. No weird noises from engine. How does one check for oil pressure? Anyone with...

    Diary of a madman!

    New issue! I normally like to take the Buellie around the block at night just to see if things are buttoned up ok. Last Sunday, I'm halfway down the block and the freakin' oil light comes on! I promptly turn back and park it. Checked oil, still clear (why wouldn't it be?), level normal...

    Diary of a madman!

    Update: I finally found a reasonably priced K&N and completed my air box delete. Well, I would like to find a heat blanket... Anyway, at last post, I had fouled four not-so-cheap iridium plugs and put a new OEM set in. Fouled those too. After cleaning them in the hopes they were reusable, I...

    Diary of a madman!

    Did you experience similar problems? I read a post that showed what the 3 d map should look like and it was really smoothed out. The poster stated that a proper map should not have sharp spikes or dramatic looking valleys. My map does. So, I guess I will have to play with that, but in all...

    Diary of a madman!

    Help! I burned a race map onto the ECM and it runs like crapola! I already went through 4 iridium plugs and I am not in the mood to buy any more! :-D Replaced the fouled plugs with cheapo Champion OEM plugs and got the bike to start and idle. Won't run worth a damn, though. Did the TPS...

    Are there any ECMSpy race map successes?!?

    After I got my 2 1/2 year project assembled, I did take her around the block a few times just to see if everything was buttoned up. I had not done any mapping. The bike idled fine with no hiccups but did buck and jerk up to 3k, after which it simply took off. This was with the first set of...

    Are there any ECMSpy race map successes?!?

    Hey all, If anyone's seen my build thread of my xb9 race rep, I had just burned a race map onto the ecm at last post. It was an exercise in frustration due mostly to my lap top and the inexplicable "virtual storage" feature that made my dowloads disappear. I had no idea there was even such a...

    How to: Put a lightning front end on a Firebolt.

    Not to change the subject, but where'd you get those cool fork and swing arm sliders?!?

    Wish I'd thought of those phrases! Ha! Heard them long ago on a motorcycle forum. Talk about your negative imagery! Yikes!

    Helmet securing...

    Did you make sure to let him know that if he threw your bike down the road, he'd have to fix it or get you a new one? Around here, we do. After my first couple of seasons riding and a couple of near mishaps with girls (I never double dick/nut to butt) who didn't listen to me, I quit toting...

    Machined axle sliders! finally got a machine shop>

    But, if you take a look at race-bikes, you'll see they don't use aluminum sliders. They're either delrin or vinyl and some even have groves machined towards the end of the frame slider to allow them to break away so they do not transfer the impact energy to the frame prior to sliding. I love...

    Machined axle sliders! finally got a machine shop>

    Isn't metal the absolute worst material to make frame sliders out of??? I only buy sliders made of delrin. Just sayin' From Motosliders: "A frame slider needs to absorb impact so as little energy as possible is transmitted to the frame. It also needs to slide smoothly to keep the bike from...

    Helmet securing...

    I've had a helmet stolen off my bike back in the day. I carry my lid everywhere I go. First thing I do with any new sport bike is ditch the passenger pegs. I don't tote (bad experiences in the past)! My motto to chicks who wanted a ride was "Get yer own!" Married now and wifey has no...

    Fixing a Wrecked XB9R Firebolt - One way to get on a Buell

    Geez Matt, What a terrible wreck. I'm glad you're alive to tell us about it. How are you now? I've known four guys who have died in my 16 years of riding sport bikes. Several who have quit because of injuries. I have wanted to track down the original owner of my salvage build cause his dog...
