[dave46nz]

Hi Guys....Dave from New Zeakand here. I have an 02 one owner M2, and I love it. Race kitted, dynojet. Summers coming here, and lots of riding coming up. Poker runs, club meets,,,,wooohoooo

 

[YO MUDA]

YO MUDA here, from Norman okieHOMER. Picked up a 2002 M2 fron the original owner. Its black, with the breather kit and jetted also has a V&H muffler. Picked it up in Dallas and rode it 180 miles back here. Was kinda scarey at first cause im about 2 inches too short for it. Got a new back tire, foam grip covers and bar end mirrors installed this weekend. Want to get the wheels painted or powdercoated and want to get a new tail for it. Ive only owned crusers, so forgive the dumb questions I'll prolly be asking.

Hey Tubers, Just sayin' hi,Im not new to bikes but im new to Buells. I dont know what to expect from my 02 cyclone so i apologize in advance for my stupid questions ;0)

 

[YO MUDA]

Wow, 3 02s in a row.[up]

Picked up a 2000 x1 last week with only 6900 miles. I love the bike but its running lean and likes to sputter and backfire between 2700 and 3500 rpm. A dyno run confirmed the fact. There are no error codes on the bike but the mechanic said I should put a stock exhaust back on. I like the Vance and Hines thats on it. Do I just need to install a race ecm to solve the problem?

i must be the oldest school here you didn't even mention S2's.
been riding buell's since 1995.
i have had almost every model made, still have 4.
9 buell in total ...s2,s1,s1w,xb9r,xb9r,xb12r,xb9 race bike,1125r,1125r.
i think after 10 you should get a free one.
i also converted my S2 to a XB front end.
does anyone need S2 forks in real nice shape?
i have lots of misc parts laying around
just ask.
i check back later

Hi guys. I'm a argentinian Bueller. I own a '97 S1 Lightning and a '03 Blast which actually rides my ol'lady. Please forgive my bad english. I'm needing the parts catalog for my '97 S1. If someone could send me a copy I would be eternally grateful. I can use any parts catalog too, just for comparison. Thanks! my email is [email protected]
Thanks again!

Hi listeven? the cut out prob. sounds like heat related electrical,could be a chip or as simple as a coil.Internal shorts occur in coils when cracks in insolation expand w/ heat ,just an example.fuel probs show themselves hot, cold,in diferent ways,ea: A bike w/ lean running condition,runs crappy cold but improves as it reaches opperating temp,but might pop on deceleration.Hope this helps

 

[devilscandy13]

whats going on fellow tubers.. looking to put a wide tire on the back of my 2000 x1 any help with that? what the widest i can go with the stock parts?

 

[pur pony]

hey, i have heard with a PM wheel you can fit a 200, but i have only heard that, not tried it. I would guess it would almost be rubbing on the belt. I in the middle of a XB wheel swap right now on my X1 and plan on a 190.

XB and PM wheels are both 5.5" wide, the stock cast tuber 3 spoke is only 5" wide.

just traded my 76 hardtail for a 2000 s3t. 1 owner lots of mods. need help with dead spot in throttle under 3/4 throttle. also wondering if the stock seat is flat or has the scoup in it. this one is corbin and it is a little snug for me. any thanks would be greatly appreciated. akern

 

[thomas_cronan]

akern- what kinda of hard tail did you have? i got a 99s3 and a 76 sportster also. i can help with the problem with the s3, is it efi or been switched to carburetor? if it is still fuel injected, you can use the direct link cable, and ecm spy along with megalog programs. i have the race map and stock maps for a s3. where you located?

I have a 99 X1 it is my monster! I Love this bike! In Richmond VA Richmond Superbike is a good place to take your bike, they do better work then the local Buell/HD dealer. Any of you guys going to VIR for the AMA superbike races in August?

I have a 2002 X1W,79 Yamaha RD-400F Daytona,2010 Ultra Classic. The Ultra's my work horse(already at 15,000 miles),the Yamaha's yet to be restored,and when the need for speed arrives the Buell is the only answer! I'm here to tell you that at the age of 50 the need is still there!Who needs Viagra,speed and fresh chickens the answer!
