    Common Header Problems

    2009 XB12R here. Around 20K miles, I notice an exhaust leak developing from the front cylinder. Discover that the one of the header nuts is missing, and the other is walking it's self off. Since I was at the dealer, and it was cheap, I just had them replace the nut and re-torque it down...

    How Long will you keep your Buell?

    For a long, long time. And as far as parts....a good machine shop can replicate anything! ......although, I have been eyeballing that new XR1200 with race upgrades.

    Running fan..

    Does the service manual state when it should be running and not be running. Brand new it seemed to come on when it got so hot. When you stopped, it came on hi for some time, switched to low before shutting off. Had some trouble with idle at 1300 miles. Returned to dealership. They reset the...

    Always low on oil on My Firebolt

    2009 XB12R here. Am experiencing the same frustrations over checking and adding to the oil. Seems like the only time I can get a reading on the stick is when it’s hot, and just moments after shutting it off. Had the dealer do my first 1000 mile service. Rode it home and checked the...

    chase policies

    Everybody remember Rodney King? Best advice is to pull over immediately. Most here in Texas know…..If the police have to come and get you, they are bringing an ass kicking with them!
