dont wanna jinx myself but i had a few problems with mine at first, got really frustrated a few times, the forum helped me through em for the most part, and ive had nothing but fun riding and showing off since i became better acquainted with the bike. sometimes you just gotta be patient with things until you get to know em

Hmm, he never came back.
Oh, well, Buell ownership is not a religion. If you don't like it, move on.

im back now lol. i was just so pissed and didnt want to talk bikes. first thing i love this buell forum, every1 so happy to jump in and help out. like my best friend crxtasy169 said the old boy said it needed nothing. but every time u turn around we see something wrong. and we r doing r best to put her back the way she is supposed to be. i guess u get that when u buy a used bike from a stupid ass that dont respect bikes. every time she acts up im always by myself and cant get her to do it when my bike tech. buddy is around. we found out the gauge cluster is not for that bike it off a xbr. because something is rattling up front that we cant figure out what it is. plus the exhaust is leaking again, guess time to rip off header. it all makes me pissed since i was waiting for ever for my best freind to move home, and my brother i never knew i had (both have bikes) so i culd go ride with them and every time we plan a trip its called off because my girl starts to act up. im really glad for all the input and comments. sorry u guys had to read this novel. thank all so very much.
Sounds like the bike was in a bad crash since other parts are on it and it was missing bolts etc etc... was the title clean?
That stinks you're having a bad experience on your first bike. I got my '05 xb12s with only 5k miles on it all stock. Was glad because that meant nobody had been wrenching around modifying things the wrong way.
Hope you get everything fix and good to go. IMO if its causing that much trouble try and sell and get a new one, one with low miles and as close to stock.. or from someone you can trust.

I completely feel your frustration.
My '04 XB12R has been the Devil's Child ever since I bought it a couple years ago.
It's been apart more than I've actually ridden it.
Currently I have the bike completely torn down. And It's taking every ounce of my being to find the motivation to put it back together.

y'all should own a panhead for a while......then come talk to me about having habitual issues.
it is a pain in the ass to get the bugs worked out, but once you do, you will be intimately familar with your bike. everytime you fix something, you learn a little bit more about your bike. try to be patient, and take it as it comes.

When I had my Triumph Thruxton and surfed the Triumph boards it was all about making your bike cool. The Buell boards seem more focused on keeping the bike running. As someone said before on this thread that it’s a labor of love. That’s why I own a Buell and it has never let me down because I take care of it.
