    2003 Firebolt parts or all

    The bike includes the engine, only it is not in proper working order. I'm going to pick it up from HD tomorrow and I'll have a parts list of items which the engine will need in order to bring it back to par. Other than that the bike is in good shape.

    2003 Firebolt parts or all

    I'm looking into parting out my 2003 Buell XB9R Firebolt due to engine issues. Everything is on the table minus the engine which is pretty much done unless you need a specific part. The bike even has almost new tires with only 1k miles on them, as well as new break pads for the front. Let me...

    swing arm pivot bolt

    Just an update, I used a ratchet strap to hoist the tail section of the bike up slightly and then brought the back tire just off the ground relieving pressure off the pivot bolt. The belt was removed and everything was lined up perfectly. After setting everything up I continuously ratcheted the...

    swing arm pivot bolt

    Thanks for the input! I was hoping someone would reply. I've taken the weight off the swing arm with a small tire jack and have gotten the pivot bolt almost entirely out but it just seems to spin with the bearings at the very end. Does it just take a really long time for the bolt to come out or...

    swing arm pivot bolt

    I'm trying to remove the swing arm so I can drop the engine for servicing a transmission issue I have but can't get the pivot bolt out. Is there a special trick or tool that is needed?

    pulley idler

    I'm trying to get my muffler off to begin stripping the engine but my pulley idler seems to be fused? I've removed the nut and washers but the damn thing is locked tight, any thoughts? I've put some penetrator solvent on there to sit before trying again, but I'm not hopeful at this point. She's...

    How-To: Crank Case Breather Mod (with pics)

    Awesome write up! The pictures are a huge help for visual people like myself as well. I recognize that this is a little first grade but I'm new to this sort of thing and was curious exactly what the crankcase breather accomplishes and if it is worth doing on a 2003 XB9R? I appreciate the...

    2004 Lightning XB12s Won't Start, Bad Fuel, Bad Plugs? Im a Newbie

    It's all been said, but from experience the clicking indicates a bad battery which is not able to effectively work the starter properly in turning over the engine. Props to Stevenc150. Also, as Abs pointed out, the gas should be drained and the plugs more than likely need to be replaced after...

    XB9 or XB12

    I have a 2003 XB9R and was thinking about doing a big bore engine kit for more power, but with prices the way they are I was wondering whether it would be worth sinking money into an XB9 when I could sell it and purchase an XB12 for just a bit more. Since I've only ridden my XB9R I don't even...

    Cranks Over, Starts, Idles for a second and says "Nope, not today"

    Thanks GatorBuell, I'm going to pick up the bike in the morning and I'll work on just that. The mechanic said once he reset the TPS it cranked over smoother, so I'll work on the idle screw when I pick her up. Plus, they quoted me $80 for the engine temperature sensor and I found it online for...

    ECM abort message

    This message is connected to the post "Cranks Over, Starts, Idles for a second and says not today" HD went to install the new flash update to my ECM but the ecm forbid the action telling the mechanics to abort procedure. The mechanics thought it may be in connection with a bad reading from the...

    Cranks Over, Starts, Idles for a second and says "Nope, not today"

    OK, SO here's the deal thus far. Besides being extremely annoyed and lacking more money than before we haven't really gotten very far with good ole HD. As it stands they have cleaned some oil around the butterfly in the throttle body apparently making the butterfly stick, put in new spark plugs...

    Cranks Over, Starts, Idles for a second and says "Nope, not today"

    I have been wondering about whether my timing might be off since I purchased the bike earlier in the year, but have not addressed the concern because I've been riding all year without any major hang up until now. I'm taking her in tomorrow if the weather is okay and I'll let you all know what I...

    Cranks Over, Starts, Idles for a second and says "Nope, not today"

    I haven't tried looking up the trouble codes as of yet. That battery is reading good at rest and under load. I just took her out around the block to see if I could get her to run while working the throttle and she is a bit rough at lower rpm then gives me a bolt of power and levels out at higher...

    Plug change and it's ALIVE!!!

    The manual says to use 5/8 tubing on the spark plug tip to initially thread the rear spark plug. I didn't have any tubing so I used the actual spark plug cable but didn't hook the spark plug into the cable all the way, just enough to hold onto it. Then, being really careful (not to twist the...
