    Which rocker box gasket kit for my year

    So I just bought my XB12R two months ago used, from a dealership. They said it would be in good condition but gave me the "as-is" paperwork to sign. I've bought a lot of new and used motorcycles in my time, so knew I'd probably be putting $1000 into it to get it back up to riding shape, as I've...

    Buell sighting - 05152014

    Lol I was wondering about that. Buells are pretty rare. Last time I saw one (before I bought mine this year in 2014 ) was in 2005 in Los Angeles. Funny thing, I just saw a Uly on a trailer the other day being towed in Tualatin, Oregon.. just after buying my used XB12R.

    stripped drain plug / bad dealer visit

    I managed to safety wire my drain bolt shut until I can get the kit ready for the next oil change. This might be a good way to install your drain plug at 10ft lbs and not worry about it backing out. Wouldn't need any thread glue either. The bolt head was easier to drill on this bike than on my...

    ebc pad noise/feel

    It also explains being able to use them on the track while breaking them in. 2-3 laps equates to how many miles before you can begin increasing brake pressure? Surely not 200-300. I've known many track riders who've told me you can just go break them in with a few 60-10mph stops or so to get...

    stripped drain plug / bad dealer visit

    I will have to order/try the time-sert kit here shortly. I listened to the manual and stripped my drain plug last night. Last time I listen to a manual. I've done this before on a 2003 GSXR 600 oil pan, $100 to replace, figured I'd learned my lesson and to always follow the manual torque...

    ebc pad noise/feel

    I just put EBC HH pads on the front of my XB12R along with a Galfer Wave rotor (yes I realize that voids the warranty of the rotor) and brand new hardware from Buell and it's pretty loud. I suspect it's because they're not fully broken into the wave rotor yet since I have about 50 miles on the...
