    light scuffing

    My XB had scuffed headers when I got it. I painted them black with high temp header paint and I think they look pretty good. I do like the stock bronze colour but... There's still a scuff you can see through the paint but its not a big deal. I just masked off the frame/engine and painted them...

    So...I think I need a new stator

    I had the exact same symptoms and it turned out to be the voltage regulator. Once I got around to following the manual and properly diagnosing the problem it was obvious. Take your time and get a good multimeter. Test everything twice if it's your first time testing the electrical, and write...

    Updated Voltage Regulator Wiring 5 vs 4 wires

    Hey guys, thanks for the advice. I ended up ordering an OE unit with the updated 77 connector parts to fix that up as well. Did Lunatics response get deleted? It had some good info in it...

    Updated Voltage Regulator Wiring 5 vs 4 wires

    Well ****, it looks like I ordered the wrong part. More research led me to the 2 vs 3 phase wiring. Ordered this, Instead of this. Anyone in Canada need a 2008-2010 voltage regulator? Or know where to get a cheaper regulator for a 2005? $200USD seems expensive...

    Updated Voltage Regulator Wiring 5 vs 4 wires

    I've searched the web and this site for answers but can't find exactly what I need. After my battery died I found out it was the charging system. I diagnosed it according to the shop manual and advice on this site, and came up with the voltage regulator. I ordered what I thought was the correct...

    Front Brake Pulse

    I finally had a chance to finish putting the new parts on and take it out for a ride. The new footpegs (stock) were an inch lower than what the PO put on and they're a way better position. Makes sitting on the bike more comfortable and I feel less folded up. The front brake felt so much better...

    CityX in need.

    I agree with Cooter. Some of those issues could be from something as simple as a weak battery or bad ground. Sometimes I have a habit of thinking that fixes are one thing (complicated) when it's something else entirely that's a simple fix. Take a step back and try to evaluate the issues...

    My project

    $830? Holy. Even if it didn't run it would be worth just staring at it for that price. Man, we get screwed up here in Canada on resale values.

    Engine shake during RPM drop

    Hey rtrofimovich, I noticed the exact same thing. Engine runs great, upshifting and downshifting are smooth. Just if I pull the clutch in to coast or slow down. Kind of a 1 second shudder that I can feel mostly in my head. Maybe the vibrations are going up my arms. And my bike's only the xb9 so...

    Buell XB9SX Tyre Choice

    I just put on a set of contimotions which are cheap but I like them so far. Was planning on going with Angel GTs but they would have been 3 times the price which I couldn't justify right now.

    Front Brake Pulse

    I wiped everything down with brake cleaner, but I'll be sure to give it all a quick sand when I take it apart again. Cooter, for the anti-seize is that a coating on the washers and spring? Or on the bolts as well? Or do you thread lock those? sinikl, mine feels pretty sketchy, like I...

    Front Brake Pulse

    Hey Cooter, ya I saw that and I'm pretty sure I put them back in the right orientation. You're talking about #66 in that image right? Looking forward to the new rotor.

    Tires: what would you do?

    Good to hear. I'm a bit late but was going to recommend another contimotion on the back. I just replaced my tires with them and they're great so far. No track days so I can't say how they are when pushed but for around town they feel good. Also just set up the suspension for my weight and it's...

    Front Brake Pulse

    Hey Lunatic, thanks for the info. Everything else looked good when I took it all apart. New pads and cleaned up all the hardware. Disc moves freely to bottom out on the rim - about a mm or so. And thanks for the offer of selling some new parts, PM sent. I love the brake and the thought behind...

    Front Brake Pulse

    I bought a 2005 XB9X last fall that was barely running and had a lot of issues. Been fixing it up over the winter. The main issue that I'm still having is the front brake. Last year (and now), when I brake the lever pulses with the rotation of the wheel. Reading through this forum and some...

    Lightning as a flat track dirt racer???

    This sounds awesome and they look amazing with off road tires, please post pics! A couple thoughts, definitely protect the frame and fuel tank, do something more solid than the stock pucks that come on it. I would expect a flat track bike to go down a lot. And would the steering geometry make it...

    Another newbie with issues XB9SX

    Hey racepro, That Benelli is crazy, where can you even get one in Canada? I'm definitely going to check out Riders Plus. Started work on the bike yesterday. Tried to start it but the battery was flat. Had to pull some tender cables off another bike, and then after charging for about 5 minutes...

    Another newbie with issues XB9SX

    Hey Racepro716, thanks for the Buell friendly sources. There's a lot of parts I'm going to have to order and I hate paying customs. For insurance I'm mid thirties, have a clean record, and have had my full M for ~8 years. TD insurance on the 9 costs me $1000. I was quoted (a few years ago) $1500...

    Another newbie with issues XB9SX

    Hey everyone, Thanks for all the replies and tips so far! Especially on how to take the the axles off. Cooter, thanks for all the advice. The PO said that he fiddled with the bolts holding the tail on and the ground wire. I've gone through and cleaned all the connections up to be sure. And I...
