    Charginng system issues on XB12r

    Another sign of Voltage REgulator on its way out the door is if you start blowing headlight bulbs or notice the brightness of your gauge cluster ramping up as the rpms increase (night ride makes it easier to see). I got lucky and blew 2 headlight bulbs in a month and got my warning and changed...

    Highway speed cruise

    I've found multiple sources stating 3.5-4k FPM is acceptable in modern engines, and others stating as high as 5000 FPM. Unless you have some other information you are working off of, there's nothing to be alarmed about here.

    Highway speed cruise

    So lets plug 2500rpm into your equation, thats 1583 FPM. So now we have a bunch of FPM values but they are completely worthless because you havent provided a table or bulletin that states that going above a certain FPM for a certain amount of time causes accelerated wear. I just reread your...

    Highway speed cruise

    so let me guess, the next thing you're gonna tell me is cruising the interstate at 7,000 rpm on my CBR is damaging the powertrain. I'm sure those honda engineers are also idiots too.

    Highway speed cruise

    None of that has to do with an engine or transmission. 1 failed old clutch and a trans cover which im not even sure how that could break.

    Highway speed cruise

    So all this tough talk and you still havent provided any evidence to the contrary? Ive never heard of any bike blowing up from repeated highway use. I commuted to work 15 miles each way, all interstate, for a long time. Did many several hour road trips, more than i can possibly count, all in the...

    Highway speed cruise

    I dont really understand where you are coming from. If it was harmful to run the bike at 80 mph in its highest gear for long periods, why didn't eric regear it to have a lower cruising rpm? I would trust the engineers at Buell over a bunch of people on a forum. Especially since that motor is a...

    lost the speedometer for a hot minute, came back shortly

    Is that on the transmission housing i am guessing? My old harley was driven off the front wheel but that was a mechanical speedometer.

    lost the speedometer for a hot minute, came back shortly

    I was at a stop light for a minute and when i took off I realized my speedometer needle was on 0. the odometer was also not changing. After a couple miles i sat at another stoplight and when i took off it was working again, and worked the rest of the way home. 2008 xb12r I'm going to work so i...

    Cooling fan not turning on after ride

    Yes. I was just sharing my experiences with the OP is all. I have no issues with how my bike runs 👍

    Cooling fan not turning on after ride

    not sure what you're trying to say here. I read the section in my electrical manual about how the fan operates and the temperatures it uses. All I was stating is that my bike doesnt seem to follow those guidelines (like the OP's) and its never caused any issues
