    Strange mix of electrical problems - Help!

    This is a typical symptom of your regulator going bad. 03 thru 07 XB's had/have a outdated regulator. An updated regulator kit was issued for 08 and up XB's. It appeared the flat-pin style of the regulator was experiencing intermittent arcing/burning. So, they upgraded to a round pin-style plug...

    Engine rolls over but won't start

    Fouled plugs, loose plug wire, empty fuel tank, loose battery cables, bad battery or grounded fuel pump. Start with the obvious. And work your way thru. Check the tank, wiggle the plug wires, test the battery. On a side note, if my Buell would of rolled over and fired on command. I might not...

    Oil light's on

    Might be a longshot but take off your oil filter and put it back on. The light comes on when the oil pressure is not appropriate or there is a leak or overheating. From what I remember it does take around 2.5 qts all together.

    engine light on high revs

    That would indicate your gasket is worn down. From R&R of the timing cover. This will allow any kind of precipitation/seepage inside and out. The rear pcv will come out without rotating I believe. The front might have to have the engine rotated I'm sure. The idle issue would be spark plugs...

    WHO'S FROM TEXAS!!!!!!??????????

    What route? If you went thru Amarillo into Albuquerque, that was probably a little boring. If you went I-20/I-10 thru El Paso that might have been a little more scenic. The speed limit is 85 mph out by El Paso for a few hours. :D

    primary noise

    Check your clutch cable and everything routed into the primary. Clutch cable insert, primary adjustment bolt, drain plug, clutch pack retainers/washers/bolts, cover bolts and anything metal that might have drained out along with a fluid change.

    Voltage Regulator Question

    Both sides have to be installed. Its fairly easy. I did one a firebolt I had. This was after the OEM plug (flat-style pin) arced out and burned up. It kept blowing the main fuse/J-fuse. Took about an hour. I ordered the upgrade package back in 2008 though, before they shut down.

    2006 Buell XB12X going dead while riding.

    If its been running perfect for a while, and all of the sudden the bike just shuts off randomly at different times, its more than likely your regulator. Most all of the XB's were upgraded to a round-pin style regulator in 2008, from a flat-style pin. Check your regulator plug down on the right...

    Firebolt problem

    Mount the bike on a block. Turn the rear wheel in neutral see if there are noises. Turn the rear wheel in gear. The countershaft nut is under a lot of torque. If the primary/trans is neglected its possible the nut gave way. A thrown rod bearing would allow some movement. Also, check the clutch...

    engine light on high revs

    Make sure the air intake boot is secured and sealed. And its clamped in place correctly. I had the same problems and it was something simple like that. Don't forget the PCV's have a tendency to vibrate out of seating. I eventually seated my PCV's with silicone after a breather re-route. They...

    engine light on high revs

    Around the oil tank or primary? Its common for water to seep thru the clutch cable boot, whether its rain, bike wash or condensation. This leads directly to the primary via the cable. In the oil tank, it could be a loose oil cap/drain plug or even the oil return lines.

    xb9 neutral light on only when clutch engaged = no start

    03's thru 05's have a side-stand switch relay (kick-stand) I think. It seems like the early XB's had a switch down by the kick-stand and then they upgraded to a neutral-switch option or something. I know my 07 xb9r had all the upgrades done except for the TSP reset. They made the TSP reset...

    Loud clicking noise on start

    It's common even on brand new motorcycles. The cold weather, or where they are parked (concrete, wood, grass) or buttons left on. New batteries will lose a charge real easy given the conditions. One way to remedy is to shock the battery. Hook it up to a charger at high cranking volts for about...

    Motorcycle shipping cheap?

    That's the whole process right there. At $0.50 cents a mile on average, the cheaper you want it the more attention you have to have toward shipping dates and route locations.

    No POST-No Fuel Pump prime-High Beam Stuck On

    The 1st thing to check on all 03~07 XB's is the regulator connections. Down below, to the left-side of the cam cover. Buell upgraded the regulator connections from a "flat-pin" style plug to a "round-pin" style plug starting with the 08's for the XB line. This was to prevent premature arcing...

    DIES AT 3500RPM PLEASE HELP!

    Check your regulator connections for corrosion, burning, arcing. Behind the cam cover. This is common in 03-07 xb's. The regulator connections were updated in 08.

    Removing Fuel Pump on a XB12R

    That is the best way. It slips right out of the cavity. No damage whatsoever.

    Seal Clutch Cable

    Yeah if u over tighten it. It will remain loose inside the hole and vibrate all the time. And leak. And u'll have to replace the primary cover at some point.
