    New member XB12SS video review.

    Welcome! Welcome! It's good to hear you mention that the Buell feels solid. I've owned and ridden many bikes of different origins and my Buell is, by far, the most well put together, solid feeling bike I've ever ridden. Aside from some particularly quirky things, they are light years ahead of...

    Trade Hero Blue plastics for black

    Hey guys, if anyone has translucent black plastics from a city x I'd like to trade for my Hero Blue ones. Alternatively I'm open to just buying the black ones as well.

    Loud clicking noise on start

    Has anyone tried one of the X-rated batteries from ThrottleX? https://www.throttlexbatteries.com/Store_ProductDetail.aspx?pid=E720ED16600C96BF Provides more CCAs than the Deka and is a little cheaper. Just wondering what you guys think.

    Loud clicking noise on start

    Thanks so much for the responses guys! It's a newer Yuasa battery. I've had pretty good luck with them in the past. Terminals are clean and connections are tight. Must be a damaged or 'old' new battery. The way I tested was to simply hook it up to my battery tender, which told me that the...

    Loud clicking noise on start

    Hi guys, hope everyone is well. Looking for a little insight on this noise. Loud repetitive clicking sound on start. Sounds a bit like the bike is struggling to start. It always kicks to life but it sometimes (especially when cold) makes this loud clicking noise. Not sure what it is or what to...

    The difference between the XBS models?

    There's some great advice in this thread already. It's possible to learn to ride well on just about any machine you're capable of balancing on top of, however there are some serious caveats when buying a 'big bike' to learn on. I learned to ride in the UK where the laws are extremely strict on...

    Thank you Cosworth! That's very helpful.

    Another bike problem. Hydraulic Clutch.

    Ok guys, so the PO installed a Magura hydraulic clutch on the bike and the slave cylinder is leaking pretty bad. It's left me stranded once. I've topped up the fluid and clutch is useable again but I noticed that (when pulling on the slave cylinder to pull the new fluid through the reservoir in...

    Resistance/ relay issues..

    Hi guys. So I got me a Buell. It's a 2005 XB9SX. The PO has installed aftermarket tail light with integrated signals and aftermarket signals up front too. Yesterday the bike was running really rough on the highway, I was on my way home and the bike just shut off, leaving me stranded. One of the...

    Abou to become part of the family! Questions..

    Thanks again for the info guys. So now I'm searching for the parts. I'm getting mixed results across different websites. One site will say that a particular fork seal kit fits the 05 xb9sx and another will say it doesn't (same part number). The part number I'm using is 56-133-1. Am I missing...

    Abou to become part of the family! Questions..

    Thank you for the replies gentlemen. I'm fairly confident that I could do the fork service myself, I just have to weigh up the pros and cons of having to buy tools and take 5 times as long or just take it to a professional. Cost is going to be the ultimate deciding factor! Can anyone recommend a...

    Abou to become part of the family! Questions..

    Heagachongoose, thank you for the input! Go cytocis, thank you for the help, too. By cable I just meant the tubing that carries the hydraulic fluid, not an actual internal cable.

    Abou to become part of the family! Questions..

    I posted a few months ago with some questions as I was getting interested in getting on a Buell. Long story short I've been searching high and low and I think I've finally found the one to get. took one for a test ride today and I loved it. Engine is a lot different from what I'm used to. The...

    TPS reset and Exhaust Install Q's

    I actually tried to contact that guy in Canyon Country. I never heard back from him. I might try again. What do you think a fair price for that bike is? I'm not sure I can stretch to 5k. At the same time, I don't want to overpay for something just because I want it badly. Been there, done that...

    TPS reset and Exhaust Install Q's

    Good to know that the dimming issue is not anything to be concerned with! Thanks for chiming in Negative! Joebuell06, yes, I have looked at that bike and thought about making an offer. The owner seemed like a nice guy. I just have a feeling I could do better for the asking price if I'm patient...

    TPS reset and Exhaust Install Q's

    Wow, guys that's great advice about the search/ RSS stuff! I'm going to try to set that up now. Thanks again for all the info you're all providing! I found another bike, 10k miles, asking price is also $5k. It's the black (or kick ash as I believe it's called) color, which I prefer to the blue...

    TPS reset and Exhaust Install Q's

    Thanks guys! All very sound advice. The truth is I've been looking for a Buell for months. I may have to travel to get one. I'm in the San Diego area but I've been looking to the Inland Empire as well as Los Angeles. I'm not sure I could go much further than that really. They don't seem to come...

    TPS reset and Exhaust Install Q's

    Hi, gtp3800. The asking price is $5000, it is a 2005. 20k miles. Seems well looked after. Has been down 'once'. Any help is much appreciated!

    TPS reset and Exhaust Install Q's

    Thank you both for your replies! Sorry I haven't been quicker about getting back (the week started hellishly at work). Ok, so Ive been looking at the Special O.P.S. pipes, seems like the guy modifies the original pipe which would be a viable option for me if the pipe on the bike is original...
