    Starter screeching/grinding - why?

    I've been around, popping in now and then like a thief in the night. Mostly to learn from the wisdom of TPEHAK.

    Starter screeching/grinding - why?

    "Jerky"..... as in Beef Jerky??? Interesting concept.

    Cylinder Bore Surface Finish

    Lunatic and Bagger - Point taken. It seems like he's the kind of guy that you'd invite to Thanksgiving at your folks house cuz he didn't have plans and you felt bad for him. Then, when your mother asks "how is everything" he chimes in with "The potatoes need salt and the stuffing is a little...

    Cylinder Bore Surface Finish

    Gents I have to jump in here for a quick minute - One thing to note is that while TPEHAK's posts may be, well, irritating, that doesn't always make him wrong (though sometimes it does). Taking apart a machine, yes even a masterfully crafted Buell motorcycle, and carefully inspecting and...

    Turn Signals not working - Broken Ground.

    Thanks John. I missed your post when you originally posted it. Found it though. Good read. Wish I read it a year ago...

    Turn Signals not working - Broken Ground.

    So Gents (and ladies), I thought I'd share an experience for your reading pleasure and hopefully it helps someone down the line. I've been dealing with a series of electrical (related) problems lately. I took the Uly to Sturgis and before I left I had the voltage regulator quit. No big deal...

    Thanks guys!

    My trip to Moab UT and a few "Mods"

    We rode south to four corners - tourist trap but still worth stopping, then back up through Cortez Co to Durango for some St. Pat's day drinking. Stayed in Durango and rode back to Moab the next day. Awesome ride. I'd do it again tomorrow.

    My trip to Moab UT and a few "Mods"

    So, because I'm a glut for punishment, I took my Uly to Moab UT and, among other trails, did the White Rim. Let me start by saying two things - 1: This trail is, in just about every way, AWESOME. It's def not the hardest trail in the area but it is a long and challenging trail. Especially...

    Spare shift lever, anyone??

    Spare shift lever, anyone??

    Does anyone have a stock Uly shift lever that they'd be willing to part with for cheap? I'm planning an off road trip around Moab UT and would like to have a spare in case my riding ambitions exceed may riding abilities, and I end up snapping mine off. This may seem overly cautious, but it...

    Bar Risers?

    Yeah, they're not cheap, that's for sure. They are quite nicely made though and WAY better grip if you plan on getting any mud on your boots (or tires).

    Different rear brake pads for X and XT?

    Just got the pads. Thanks John!

    Bar Risers?

    Thought I'd kick the dust off this thread. I just installed the Precision Engineering 2.5" bar risers (yep, they still make them) on my '08 Uly. The throttle cables are long enough, though just barely. The brake hose needs to be "modified". Basically, I loosened the two clamps and pulled the...

    Different rear brake pads for X and XT?

    That's cool with me. I haven't ordered the pads yet. How do I order them from you?

    Different rear brake pads for X and XT?

    Gents, this may be a dumb question... but I'll ask it anyway. - Are the rear brake pads different on the XT than on the X? I thought the pads were the same on all the XB12 models but I went to order pads from motorcycle superstore for my XT (EBC Double H Sintered) and they've got a listing for...

    Seriously looking at a 2008 xb12xt

    Pdksh- Lunatic is definitely on point. I bought an '08 XT, also with 12k miles, last November and really love the bike. It was basically in perfect working order and had all the luggage intact, comfort kit, Jardine pipe, and a bunch of extras. Tires were tired (excuse the pun), but were still...

    Motor won't shut down

    Directly from the service manual "If the engine should continue running when ignition is in the off position, simply continue to ride the hell out of that Buell. Continuing to run is a symptom of the motorcycle not being ready to be put away." I don't make the rules, I just follow them.
