    Ever happen to you?

    Come on, everyone knows the motorcyclist's equation. M=N+1 wherein M would represent the amount of motorcycles you should own and N is the number you currently own. It's not satisfiable...

    Miles to KM and back to Miles

    Hmm... In that topic I don't see any mention of what bike he has but at some point he says it was reading Celsius. Mine doesn't display temperature. I've got a 2006 XB12. I went out to the garage and pushed every combination of buttons I could think of. All I can do is change the clock and...

    Miles to KM and back to Miles

    I couldn't find it in the manual either, but I did some digging and I found this. http://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?9790-changing-from-MPH-to-KM-H-need-some-help That's all I found pertaining to the XB. Every time I saw programmable dash it pertained to the 1125 series. Can someone...

    Rear brakes

    @LunaticFringe Dang, 5 years? I had no idea the average was that long. I ride a lot more and/or a lot heavier than the average rider, then. It doesn't take me anywhere near 5 years to go through brakes... I guess I forget that most people only ride recreationally, I daily ride AND ride for...

    Rear brakes

    @LunaticFringe I've never seen the value of replacing brake fluid at pad change time. I usually don't even open the cap either. In my experience I've never had difficulty compressing the piston while the system is sealed up, and the fluid level at the end is usually still within spec...

    Rear brakes

    It's REALLY easy. 1&2 are the mounting bolts and 3 is the pad retainer, loosten 3 first but don't remove it until you are ready to remove the pads. There is a set screw covering the actual bolt, don't just loosen that... Remember to compress the piston in the caliper. I usually leave the...

    2005 XB9SX running on one cylinder

    You can spray Carb-Cleaner or Brake-Clean to check for intake leaks or vacuum leaks. I wouldn't use WD-40 because of the mess it'd make, and I wouldn't use propane either because it sounds potentially dangerous...

    Beautiful ride

    Looks like a good time.

    Nelson Rigg Tank Bag review! (Pic heavy, you've been warned!)

    Thanks and you're welcome! Always happy to share my experiences. So far, they just dangle. I'm thinking of solutions both simple and complex ranging from elastic bands to fold them back into themselves to fusing female buckles into a "coupler" and connecting them together. I'll update with...

    Thinking about buying one.....what's a fair price?

    Glad to see I'm not the only one suspicious of low mileage vehicles. I get that motos are generally recreational vehicles and get a fraction of the miles that cars see, but a 10 year old vehicle with 5000 miles just seems like it's gonna have weird hidden issues. Bad fuel gunking up stuff, an...

    Lower belt guard?

    @Cooter I'm in Tucson. Yours looks good. I went ahead and did mine. Went and bought a T27 driver and put a wrench on the end of it, this way I could really push into it to seat it in the screws and still get some leverage on it. I'm happy to report no stripped screws! So I can modify...

    Lower belt guard?

    Hey, that looks pretty good being modified! I've got a 2006 XB12SS.

    Lower belt guard?

    I've read through some threads about the pros/cons of removing the belt guards and I get that there's some risk involved if stones get tossed up into the belt. I don't mind the top guard, I like the protection it offers and I like the rear "hugger". But the bottom one is neither here nor...

    Nelson Rigg Tank Bag review! (Pic heavy, you've been warned!)

    OK, so lets get into the mounting! Buells naturally offer good mounting locations for more "permanent" setups, so I felt a fool if I didn't take advantage of that. They provide you with 2 straps that are connected end to end and designed to wrap around frame parts. I immediately cut these in...

    Nelson Rigg Tank Bag review! (Pic heavy, you've been warned!)

    I've always been a fan of tank-bags, and with the recent purchase of my first Buell it meant that none of the magnetic tank bags I own will work. After weighing some options in regards to modifying the Buell to take magnetic bags, I opted to just get a new bag with a strap mount...

    first bike

    Love the Pegasus decals on the frame! Congrats on your first motorcycle, you picked a cool one to start out with BUT don't underestimate it's power or you'll find yourself on the ground! As a certified RiderCoach I feel I must recommend you to take a class. The MSF (Motorcycle Safety...

    Hello from Arizona!

    Here are all the pics I took of the trip. Wish I had a video camera, though, too much good stuff you can't stop and see.

    Hello from Arizona!

    Had a great time! I might upload some of the pics I took but at first glance they seem about the same, lol.

    New owner, got myself a pretty good 2006 XB12SS! Happy with it so far, hope I get plenty of fun filled years from it and I know this place will be a great resource for me. Feel free to ignore the litter I overlooked before taking the pic... Also, as part of a challenge from another forum...

    WOOOOOHOOOOO!! Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

    Nice! I like the black on black frame and accents. Looks way better than the usual, like, 4 different colors going on between the various frame parts and headlight/taillight assemblies.
