    Not a Feeler - going to sell Buell XB (TT model)

    prob should have mentioned; 3 kids (toddlers, babies when purchased) they are now at an age where if I'm gone all day long, 200-300 mile ride I'm missing out on a lot with them.

    SPOTTED THREAD: Pittsburgh/WPa; all Buell models

    50- you couldn't have said it better and I was hesitant to breech the subject. I've been to two bike nights in two years. I really don't get it. Moreover, I like (in my own mind, at least) like to think Buell guys are really "riders" because of the awesome capabilities our bikes have (canyon...

    Mystery tool in the toolpouch

    I used to work in a Bradley FV factory and we had "bare hulls" of aluminum Bradleys up on wooden stands until the chassis was added. Anyway, one of the shop floor "grunts" decided to ring a metal hammer against the hull while my boss, one of the engineer "suits" was inside doing an inspection...

    Oil Level Question after Oil Change ( '09 XB12S )

    As a first time oil changer on my XB, I recently went through the same quandry about after-change oil level reading. I posted on here about it previously. here's what I found - put in 2.5 quarts exactly. a cold read will give you a low reading (below minimum, actually). however, if you go...

    seat will not latch

    I cannot wait to see what people say, because I've had trouble with my seat from the day I bought the bike. I get it on, but it typically takes me about 5 minutes each time. I am wondering that if over time the side "hooks" that connect to the seat bottom bend slightly. Because if you look...

    HELP!! Brake Drag after front tire change

    okay; so I went to Pep Boyz and got a Mitty Vac (not sure if I'll use it or bleed the brakes purely by gravity - we'll see). however, all they had was DOT 3 brake fluid or DOT 3&4 brake fluid (DOT 3&4 brake fluid has a minimum boiling point of 311degF whereas DOT 3 is like 280degF min boiling...

    HELP!! Brake Drag after front tire change

    no, I did not change brake pads. they are the original pads. the bike has 7000 miles on it and I am the original owner. Let me provide an additional piece of info that I may have originally omitted: After putting the wheel back on the bike, tightening the axle and pinch bolts, I then lowered...

    HELP!! Brake Drag after front tire change

    It is a consistent level of drag through the entire revolution. Yes, I do know how to properly bleed and flush to avoid air bubbles. I must ask however; why would flushing the system help reduce brake drag? thanks!! -w.

    HELP!! Brake Drag after front tire change

    hi, I recently removed front wheel (myself) and then had a reputable shop perform the tire change. I put the front wheel back on myself. It now seems there is excessive front brake drag. I do know that with disc brakes there is SOME drag. However, I need to use two fingers to move the wheel...
