    Opinions in this Buell

    Value is always the same: how much are is either party prepared to "give" in order to "get". Price is something else. Wolf gave the best advice back several posts back. If seller is as upfront as everybody, for some unknown reason, figures, ask for photos of the other impact areas. You want...

    2 dudes on a firebolt... Wtf

    Wow, just wow. Reminds me of a review by some other American with issues. He liked a pair of Merrel black shoes but sent it back because it had red and black pull straps on the back. He asked, "what kind of man wears red on his shoes?"

    75mph slip n slide = no fun

    I hate the "mine is good, yours should be too" reasoning but, in this case, I'm inclined to agree. Something else went wrong. I had a bike that behaved the way yours did. It turned out that the forks were ever so slightly bent from a previous unknown to me collision. I've crashed my 9R twice...

    LOOK what this guy did to me!!!

    Lesson I learned the hard way 40 years ago. Never park in a parking space, always park at the mouth of it. Jerk doesn't see your bike, when he does he figures might as well keep going. Make sure your bike is visible to him before he enters the parking space.

    oil leak around center of trans??

    If only all problems could be resolved so easily… assuming it all goes to plan.

    oil leak around center of trans??

    Best approach is to simply ask the seller if he will fix it or buy it back. You've had it for a week or so, you've ridden it and you've done some work on it so be ready to lose a bit on that. Personally, I think you'd still be ahead if you sold it back. Then you'd have a choice between a)...

    oil leak around center of trans??

    I don't think you could get real mechanics to split the cases for $1600 if you brought just the engine in. See what others say about that. Also, that oil looks too clean to be original oil. Primary goes to a bad cream/coffee colour, engine goes black. They don't stay golden very long. They'll...

    oil leak around center of trans??

    I'd guess that it is engine oil. Primary pretty quickly goes a bad coffee colour from the clutch. I'd suggest that it is a bigger job than you're making it sound. The leak seems to be coming from some place further up. It could even be a leak in the swingarm. It might be more productive to...

    Mount & Balance XB Wheels at an Independent Shop?

    I use two indie shops. My local HD shop is pretty good and Buell friendly but that doesn't take away the Canadian pricing and their shop rate. Anybody else notice that Buell part prices jumped upwards when the end came? Anyway, let the indies do the tires (no charge for mounting and balancing...

    Oh no! My problem is back :(

    First skip all the nonsense about the pipe colour and wrapping. Those people have no clue what they are talking about. You're making a better guess with choking so now you have to chase down the fuel enrichment circuit. There's no codes so look in places where there's no sensors. Checking the...

    New to buell hard to start/weird exhaust noise

    You're right. It shouldn't behave like that. Should be steady from 2500 up (torquey below that) and running best above 4100. It likes 5500. Suggest basic tuning review: plugs, K&N filter, timing. Problem bits are throttle body to head joint allowing air; plug cables wearing on cylinder head.

    Engine light at high rpm....

    R with headlight and engine light problems? First thing to check is the ground wire inside the three-to-four connector of the headlight wiring harness. It corrodes inside the connector. I ended up jumping it. The fluctuations in the ground throw off the ECM for some reason and gives you the...

    My engine just blew!!

    Plug information is wrong. Most people don't know what "lean" means or how to read a plug. Yours is just fine. Oil gear is different material as stated. If you try, you might be able to find the original. The newer ones are the performance ones (compared to the old). Yours, oddly enough, looks...

    Squidbuelle: Well, a troll would point out the irony of the wrong "your" when wondering if somebody else is stupid, I wouldn't do that. So that would leave Michael as being stupid. Unless you want to revisit your paradigm. Or wait for that "sometime" when you can tell…

    What does everyone think of this youtube vid

    anrkizm95 without your intensity, I would agree with what you've said. It would go against our Charter/Constitution Rights, and that's been reinforced many times here, for the very reason you stated. In our process, the accused would put forward a Charter challenge, that would be like a...

    What does everyone think of this youtube vid

    The reason squidbuelle does not appear to be making sense is because he is not making sense. Goes back to the earlier logic statement about generalization: no matter what he says, the next moment he makes a generalization and, whoops, there goes the sense of the comment. Focus and context...

    What does everyone think of this youtube vid

    Hammerbuell I am in Ontario and don't like the Stunt laws for the same reasons. However, that is not what was happening in the video. And we're making inroads on the Stunt law, e.g., wheelies. Law says wheelie must be intentional. Cop must prove intent.

    Very Confusing Issue

    Then you will have three mechanics mad at you. Make up your mind on one of them and stick with him or… learn to do it yourself… which is really what you're asking here. So, you've got some problems. Relays are cheapest so try them. TPS has been fiddled with by God knows what level of...

    ASB, why you do you do this?

    I'm in another country, called them, couple of emails, and worked out shipping by USPS. Seemed to be reasonable. Call them. More productive than slagging friends here.
