    Well! Isn't the new site sexy?!

    I had to look twice when I logged in to make sure I wasn't 'summers else'! Very nice!

    the fuse has blown 30A Battery

    Firstly - a 10A fuse in a 30A spot has a very short lifetime. Secondly - I'd look for a shorted 'plus' cable. Visually inspect it to see if it may have rubbed through and is contacting the chassis. It probably wouldn't hurt to have the electrical diagram handy. There is a possibility the...

    M6 06 xb12x

    +1 to MG's post. The rear crankcase vent valve (on top of the rocker box) is a common source of oil leakage. It's usually the grommet drying out and shrinking. If you are VERY careful, you can pull the PCV out of the grommet, and get a new one in without rotating the engine. Do not break the...

    Draining oil from crank case for oil inspection

    I'm still waiting to hear what sort of contamination he's dealing with.

    Soft front brake

    Also check to see if the caliper pucks are stuck to the seals and being pulled back Easiest to see if you take the caliper off and put a 1/2" or so piece of wood in between to keep the pucks from coming out completely. Slowly squeeze the lever to extend the pucks. Seals should stay in place...

    Spare parts for 2500 mile trip

    Sounds like an awesome trip! Several items on your list are what I call 'Murphy' bits- if you have a spare, you won't need it! Make sure you have at least two T27 drivers (not 'obscure' - they're everywhere!) in some form, and whatever tools you need to remove the front and rear wheels. On the...

    Side stand

    Before you go crazy, you really need to pull the map info down and see what is in the box. All the ECM's are the same (for a given part number) - it's the tune that's loaded into it. You should also inspect the pipe - there's a good chance a P.O. messed with it, and didn't stop with...

    ECM died on XB12XT. Which one to get?

    Aw, shucks, John! Just trying to help out!

    ECM died on XB12XT. Which one to get?

    Yep - I used ECMDroid. You can either download the correct tune from the site (Rev-mo, IIRC), or copy it off the existing ECM. The second option assumes the tune is a) correct, and b) not corrupted. My tune was the correct one ('Race' tune, stock pipe), and I had no indication the problem I...

    2008 Uly in need of service

    They are prone to leaks around the rocker cover PCV grommets, and the rear will 'spray' into the fan. The rear PCV can be removed without rotating the engine, but you gotta be careful. You may also find the hoses that connect the valves to the breather box leak at the valves. Your fan is bad -...

    Two-Bearing Rear Wheel

    Hey John! Yeah - I thought about that. But I think shipping would be a killer. Not many XB's around here. I may go ahead and list it on CL - it'd make a crappy planter!

    Two-Bearing Rear Wheel

    Mostly posting this to see if anyone is awake... I have the original wheel from my '08 XT that has a 'deformed' right wheel bearing 'socket'. After a catastrophic bearing failure, I had it overbored, and a sleeve made. The sleeve, however, has an inside flange, and that throws the bearing...

    Cutting down a standard seat to make a low seat?

    Probably the same foam. When you cut the top down, also look at trimming the angle on either side, so your legs have a 'straighter' path to the ground.

    2009 xb12xt oxygen sensor help!

    I don't recall any difficulty when I swapped out my fan. Do you have access to the Buell Service Manual? Page 4-19 show the fasteners.

    How to remove excessive play from front brake engagement

    Maybe your disc is not properly aligned, or it has a warp. That would push the caliper puck away, so every time you apply the brake, it has to travel further. Or, the boot is sticking and pulling the puck back.

    Power Sonic Lithium battery experience

    Cooter, I've had the NOCO battery installed since November '21. No issues. My commute is short, so I'm not sure I fully recharge the battery every day, so I put my cTek maintainer on it when I'm not riding for more than a couple days. Mind, I live on the Redneck Riviera (NW FL), so really...

    Power Sonic Lithium battery experience

    I've had pretty good luck (touch wood!) with the NOCO battery I bought off Amazon. And IIRC, it has a lengthy warranty. https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-NLP14-Powersport-Motorcycles-Snowmobiles/dp/B091P9QXX7/ref=sr_1_23?qid=1707236832&refinements=p_89%3ANOCO&s=automotive&sr=1-23

    Coincidentally - there's one listed right now for $200 (plus S&H): https://www.ebay.com/itm/116029675352?

    ECM died on XB12XT. Which one to get?

    I just replaced the ECU in my '08 with a used one off eBay. It came off an 1125. The Part Number is Y0152.1AM. Using ECMDroid, I copied the tune that was in the old unit. Swapped the new unit in, then loaded it with the old tune. Works great! I need to update my old post about weird...
