    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    Hey Anthony, Need to confirm exactly what is wrong with the bike: You’re saying that the bike can be taken out and ridden on the street, but it occasionally stalls while warming up and when coming to a stop at a light? When you say it the bike smells of exhaust fumes, do you mean it smells of...

    Anybody make an aftermarket billet kickstand?

    Hey guys, Like the title says, wondering if anyone makes an aftermarket billet kickstand like so many of the other sport bike manufacturers offer. Thanks!

    Registering Buell in California: HELP Emissions Sticker Needed

    thanks everyone for your responses... I'm going to try again this Friday at a different location, and if I still have issues, I'll be sure to ask for the supervisor. I'll report back with my findings. Can't wait to get out and ride again!

    Registering Buell in California: HELP Emissions Sticker Needed

    thanks octopus... My only question is, I don't see anything on that DMV link stating that vehicles over 7,500 miles don't have to meet CA emissions guidelines (like the sticker).. am I missing this? BTW Octopus: I'll send you a PM later... we had talked about tuning my Buell sometime back, but...

    Registering Buell in California: HELP Emissions Sticker Needed

    Thanks lowkey... you're absolutely right about the canister not having the sticker. I found a thread in the link below where another Bueller said the sticker is on the front part of the frame. The last post in the thread shows the picture...

    Lowkey, btw, I believe the sticker is located on the canister, but have not confirmed this... been googling and searching through threads to confirm

    Registering Buell in California: HELP Emissions Sticker Needed

    That would be awesome lowkey. The DMV rep said I need to have the sticker, regardless of my mileage. I live in San Pedro and work in Torrance, CA. Depending on where you are, I would either pick it up from you, or I could send funds to ship it to me, and then I'd ship it back. This would...

    Registering Buell in California: HELP Emissions Sticker Needed

    I don't think this will apply to me as I believe this bike is a 50 state bike (CA emissions bike) even though it was originally purchased in Utah. Thank you anyway Enemy!

    Registering Buell in California: HELP Emissions Sticker Needed

    Hello Guys, I've had my bike registered in Utah (from where I bought it), but now that the sticker has expired, I need to register here in CA. The DMV person said I could not register it because there was no emission sticker. I still have the canister parts but the previous owner must have...

    XB12 No Start & Weird Dash Light Issue. Experts please help!

    Update: Had the injectors cleaned and I replaced the TPS and she is running perfectly now.

    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    UPDATE: FIXED!!! So got the injectors back today and although they were slightly "out", they obviously weren't the issue with the numbers I received. RC Engineering confirmed the injectors were 300cc… the front injector was spraying 295 (designated rating as 'good'), and the rear was spraying...

    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    No worries Sirius, your explanation for how the ECU compensates fuel adjustments based on O2 readings makes perfect sense as the concept is the same on cars. I ended pulling the fuel rails/injectors this morning as I knew it would only take about 10 minutes or so (no need to pull the throttle...

    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    Another point on the injectors, I mention how there doesn't seem to be a lot of failed injectors on here, but then again this might not be the case. With all the fuel injector cleaning services I did on the older Toyotas (usually 2002 and older) to fix rough running conditions, fuel injectors...

    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    first off, just want to say thank you for the plethora of replies… I really needed the help! just to quickly touch on the O2 sensor question again… I am certainly not debating the importance of a working O2… I understand that it's necessary to understand what's happening in the combustion...

    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    Sorry for the lack of info… it's a 2007 Buell Lightning XB12S Would an O2 sensor really be the cause here? I ask because on a car, the O2 sensor inputs don't make a difference in running condition (like rough/rich conditions) until the vehicle is in closed loop. I've confirmed through ECM SPY...

    XB12S Running Rich and Won't Idle

    Gents, Been dealing with this issue for awhile now and looking for some help. The bike now starts, but only runs for 10 seconds or so and then dies. It runs really rich and rough. If I try to get it stay running, it pops in the intake (can see the combustion) and smells of unburnt gas. What...

    XB12 No Start & Weird Dash Light Issue. Experts please help!

    Just got done putting in the new plugs, wires and completing the TPS reset and although she will run for about 10 seconds or so, she ends up dying due to the overly rich condition. The air intake sensor and engine temp sensor appear to be reading correctly (of course it would have been nice...

    XB12 No Start & Weird Dash Light Issue. Experts please help!

    I wanted to post an update as to the status of the bike for others that might find themselves in this situation as I’ve made progress on some of the issues. First problem I got resolved was the high beam/low beam light issue on the instrument panel. I ended up taking some members advice on...
