    'Melvins'

    "Analog monster" aka 10 year old tech in your "new" bike.

    Xb12r isolator mount

    Oh my, look at the shaft on that hardware, so shiny, so smooth.

    Xb12r won't start

    Best to take the muffler and the air box off before performing a test like that, just to make sure fire is going the right direction.

    Troubleshooting high AFV percentage

    Thanks Cooter. I guess I had just assumed that the AFV would have changed after fixing the intake seals so my brain started making a mountain out of a mole hill. It definitely increased on my first failed attempt at replacing them. :)

    Troubleshooting high AFV percentage

    Ok I’m at a loss chasing a high AFV percentage. The bike is a 2005 xb12s with right at 11,000 miles. I bought it with a drummer exhaust and it has a race ecm in it, allegedly with a dyno tune. I have all the paperwork provided by the previous owner, but take that with a grain of salt I...

    EBR Recall 2021-22

    I'm more impressed they have sold 30 bikes.

    Video cams (GoPro, Insta 360, or...?)

    I run a Sena 10c Evo. Handles all my audio, comms, and video. I've been down twice recently with the sena and it's stayed put on my helmet. Even took a little scrap on the camera housing the last time and still works fine. I've been considering a 360 though as a secondary bike mounted option.

    new Ulysses owner

    I would think being in PA the bolts would have just corroded in place. Welcome by the way.

    Looking for tips on identifying/ fixing an intake leak.

    Thanks for the number! Really the only part that made me want to chuck a wrench was pulling the tiny allen bolt that holds the rear brake reservoir on, it's just hard to see/ get to. I pulled both rear sets and the brake just so it wouldn't hit when setting the frame down. I was also...

    Looking for tips on identifying/ fixing an intake leak.

    Haha, yeah was kind of a bummer. I put in new plugs, wires, and seals. Cleaned it all up while it was apart and put it back together. I set the TPS and it fired right up so I took it out to get it warm so I could adjust the idle. Came back, hooked up EMC Droid and noticed the idle was just...

    Looking for tips on identifying/ fixing an intake leak.

    Well I finally got around to doing this over the weekend. Pulling the frame is definitely the way to go, I wouldn't even consider an engine rotate after trying both. Unfortunately once I got it all back together and running, I still have a leak on the intake of the rear cylinder, so back apart...

    Headlight Setup

    There are some aftermarket LED headlights for the XBs that have arguably better output than the factory halogen setup while keeping the twin headlight look. Might look into those if you're starting from scratch.

    *NEW* - Upload Photos Of Your Buell

    The mirrors are some model of Rizoma that the previous owner put on. They work excellent; very solid, no vibration, and a bit of a convex profile to give a good view of what's going on. That being said, I don't care for them for a couple reasons. They're a little low and really make you take...

    Thanks! I wasn't the biggest fan when I picked it up. My first XB was a black 03 and I really like black bikes, in case that wasn't obvious, but the color scheme has really grown on me over the years.

    TPS sensor air leak.

    Thanks, I've never heard of them. I goggle them and see what I can find. Edit: I think I found what you're talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjWWUE9qrkw&ab_channel=NCCRSweden About 7:30 in he mentions sealing around the TPS. I think I may give that a go before firing the...

    TPS sensor air leak.

    The question, has anyone ever had issues caused by an air leak at the TPS sensor? Some back story and explanation of my question. I've suspected my 05 xb12s might have a small intake leak for a while, however the symptoms as sporadic and minimal. Occasionally the bike would "cough" or lose...

    Buell as a first bike?

    My second bike was an 03 xb9s. In my opinion, the bike matters less than the mental maturity of rider. If she fits on the bike and is comfortable with the ergonomics that will make for a more enjoyable experience than buying a bike based just on engine size/power delivery. The more she enjoys...

    This is why we can't have nice things

    So it will or will not include feet content?

    The New Melvins are out!

    I'm impressed by how awful that second bike actually looks. It took real talent to take such a simple concept and make it look like hot garbage.
