    Spark plugs fouling!

    [mad] I have a o8' lightening with a Jardine can, EBR ECM, performance filter and I was playing with a decible meter app on my smart phone. I started it three times and shut it down within a few minutes each time. It sat for a few days, weather turned warm, went to start it and its running on...

    Sad times

    Wow, I hope you get better. I guess there is a lesson for all of us in that the gear is a necessity. There are times that I wanted to just jump on and go but you just never know. I wiped on my mountain bike on bare pavement and I had road rash that hurt for over a week. It doesn't take much.

    Another ECM success story

    I did the same with my 08'. I have a Jardine with a K&N and it was poping on decel as well as hesitation on accel. Bought the EBR ECM and it is all but a memory. Did the TPS a couple of times and no problems. Great product and I would of tried the ECMspy but there is no mapping available for...

    Melted hose

    Thanks guys for the advice. I guess this is something that was not recalled. Too bad but it is not something that is critical just a pain.

    Melted hose

    What a PITA!!! I just finished my hidden brembo mod, plugged in a EBR ECM, with a Jardine, cut off the cheese grater and was excited becouse the snow is almost gone. The bikes are coming out of hibernation. I was just changing the oil and cleaning it when I noticed friggin the hose. What a...

    Melted hose

    I was just getting my 08' xb12Ss ready for spring when I noticed a hose located very close to the header on the rear cylinder. It was melted to it. What does this hose do and how was it supposed to be routed? Anyone have a moment to take a pic of theirs. It looks like a pain in the arse to...

    uh oh....

    Im with BuellerPilot I had a friend who didn't tighten his drain plug properly and after oil coated the rear tire he ended up in hospital with a broken leg and wrecked bike. Get a mechanic to put in the helicoil if your not confident with buying a kit and doing it yourself. Sometimes these...

    Found a brembo - will this one work?

    That has crossed my mind as well. I am eyeballing it on my swingarm. If the bleeder hole is interchangable with the brake line hole and I can give the end of the existing brakeline a little more bend then it may work on the Ss. Otherwise I need to get a longer brake line. If that is the case...

    Found a brembo - will this one work?

    I have that list but we have no idea what this is. Is there a part no. somewhere on these things? I am nervous about buying a box of parts for $80 that could all be useless to me.

    Buell 25th Anniversary Edition

    I have an 08' anniversary edition and there is not much difference. I think that this, in a way, was part of the Buell demise. There marketing was lacking, at least in Canada. I still have people asking me; "what is that thing"? Being in a form of marketing myself my opinion is they should...

    Found a brembo - will this one work?

    I found a local guy who is selling a box of various Ducati parts and in the box is a brembo caliper, amoung alot of other stuff. Will this work for my hidden bracket mod that I am going to do soon. I already ordered a bracket. What else do I need with this style of caliper, (bolts ect)?? I...

    Trailer on a XB12ss

    Id be worried about the weight ratio. XB's are light bikes and weight is always a big factor in towing. I bought a Ventura rack and kept my gear to a minimum. There are plenty of sites with checklists of all you need. I still took too much crap. You may be surprised at what little you can...

    Engine light from old exhaust

    Im doing some mods to keep me busy over the winter and since the Jardine has been mounted, (two years now), the light for the factory exhaust valve is always on. Does anyone knowhow to clear it or trick it into thinking that the old one is still there. I would like to have the light come on...
