    Warped Front Brake Rotor

    I agree with Lunatic, on all the points made above. IF the ZTL brake design WAS as revolutionary and amazing as it LOOKS, it would be found on every race bike in the world. No other manufacturer has pushed for a ZTL design for a reason. It sucks at doing what brakes should do; stop without...

    Old guy with a Buell

    Throttle Response?

    Start with the basics. Adjust your throttle cables. If they are not adjusted correctly it might take as much free play, as what is shown in your video, to produce a throttle response. And since I don’t know what year your bike is, or what mods you might have, you might want to insure the TPS is...

    Clutch lever

    If anyone sends me a broken Buell part I’ll fix it. Free of charge. Just don’t expect an OEM finish. JB weld and ingenuity can take you further than fat pockets!

    Left Side Cover

    Is this real life? The bracket is bent. Put a pair of pliers on it and bend it back towards the frame. Looks like it should sit at a right angle. Be careful bending it. You don’t want to snap it.

    Thinking of an upgrade to supplement the xb12r

    Hey, I don’t care what the peanut gallery has to say. I thought I wanted a faster bike. Fact is I’m not fast enough or talented enough to even get the full potential out of my archaic xb. Truth is that pretty much all of the sportbikes on the road will NEVER have their full potential...

    Thinking of an upgrade to supplement the xb12r

    I didn’t inquire soon enough. But I’ve changed my mind about upgrading. I need to master the ride i currently own before I step up to anything more powerful.

    Thinking of an upgrade to supplement the xb12r

    I’m thinking about purchasing this: https://raleigh.craigslist.org/mcy/d/zebulon-buell-1125rr/6908120125.html I don’t know much about the supposed 1125rr. However, I’m extremely interested in this bike. I’ll be asking the current owner the usual questions about the clutch, charging system, fuel...

    Well, bye !

    I agree. About a Buell and it’s handling. Some so unique about the Buell. I always tell people my bike and I have a “love/hate” relationship. I think about getting rid of mine ALL THE TIME but who in the world would truly appreciate her like I do!?

    Male connecter on 03 XB9S ecm

    Here’s a little insight. I remember this “mod” but never really paid any attention to it. Read this thread: https://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?2200-White-wire-mod-Lightning-CityX-XB9SX Should enlighten you on the purpose of the white wire. An answer is about 7 responses down the page...

    2008 Buell XB12Ss -- Die at idle

    The above two statements would be my biggest concerns. Obviously the ECM has been molested. Go to www.buellmods.com or the buelltooth website and download a known GOOD stock or RACE map. I would start with a stock map just to see what happens. Do you have any paperwork that helps you identify...

    09 XB12R sputter/ choppy under throttle

    Your plugs are probably fouled out from revving the bike while it sits idle. XBs don’t like being revved without an actual load on the engine. Since your bike is an 09 I believe it has a plug cleaning function programmed into the ECM. Go to www.buellmods.com and download a service manual, if you...

    I stared at this waaaaay to long..

    Looks like the cable for the idle adjustment knob. Should be able to follow that frayed cable to the front left area of the bike. It’s factory zip tied to the top left portion of the “v” frame, very close to the front of the left side air scoop. Have you downloaded a service manual? That will...

    Most common/important Preventative maintenance?

    Nope You lost me on this one. I don’t believe anyone should ride ANY bike to prove ANYTHING. That’s just me. Anyway, back to your original inquiry. There’s really nothing you can do to prevent normal wear and tear items from expiring due to use. Well, aside from wrap your bike in cellophane...
