Hey Drifting, about getting alot of tickets since you've had your 12r (and getting pulled over). Ya know I have been experiencing the same thing.. And I will tell you that prior to purchasing my Xb9s I had never received a ticket (7 years riding) on either my R6 or R1.. And in the past had done some pretty stupid things that would more than justify a ticket. Anyways I've had my Xb for no more than a month and rode it about 7 times (poor weather) and since then have been pulled over twice and ticketed once... and the stupid ticket was for 65km/h in a 50km/h zone.... And well both the cop that gave me the ticket and the other that hadn't... mentioned that the exhaust was real loud and said that it might get me in some trouble in the future....one cop said he could hear me coming from two blocks away...anyways not sure if this might be your problem.. but I now try to keep the revs down and motor as quiet as I can... Cause I sure as hell ain't getting rid of that gorgeous Buell factory race kit. Sorry for the long winded post..
