Sheba Meaty tender sticks. She likes chicken and salmon. I got them at the mom and pop, main street killing Wal-Mart.

you know i've always been a big fan of yours and in keeping with that theme wanted to thank you for supporting your local merchants and not Sh#tMart. word!
 
I think about something more reliable and trouble free. Maybe Honda. I even do not consider EBR 1190 because of I feel it is even less reliable then latest generations of Buell XB and needs more maintenance. All I want is to put fuel in it and ride it, I don't want to waste my time fixing the crap.

Good luck with that dream, man.
1) It's a motorcycle, not a space bound satellite.
2) It's about a 10 year old motorcycle
3) With some miles on it
4) That's been heavily modified
5) By someone who is not a professional mechanic
6) That same someone looks for issues well before they actually are an issue (My opinion...)

If you had a 10 year old "Honda" with the same miles and you modded it as much as you have your pretty XB, I wonder how "reliable" it would be? I'm not blaming you for the problems you have, but you can take apart something only so many times.

"Reliable" to me means "Does it start when I hit the yellow button?" Yes? Then it's reliable.

TPEHAK: You aren't doing "maintenance", you're doing "repair". Whether it's needed or not is your opinion. My 2¢ is: Do not dwell on your super minor issues, surface energy, seafoam magic, or putting abrasives directly into your cylinders. Listen to the good advise you are asking for on here, and just fix the damn thing and ride it. Still don't like it? Sell it and move on.

Why the EBR hate? Do you have any evidence the late model EBR's have any issues at all? Understandably the very first ones off the line had some (Starter 0-ring, dash?) easily fixed items, but I'm unaware of any reliability issues with the later ones. Especially for a low production, hyper sport bike with a "legitimate race engine" (Erik's words).


Edit: And peanutbutter filled pretzel bites FTW!

I googled about EBR motorcycles issues and found they have some decent troubles and need more attention and maintenance than good reliable Japanese motorcycles, so I do not consider EBR anymore.

Well then you are missing the boat my friend, and I am sure you could not handle the power of a EBR any way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You need a Grom.

The last solution I'll ever suggest to you concerning your "Buell" issue:

Sell the poor effing bike!

Buy a Honda, join a Honda forum AND ONLY POST ON THAT FORUM!

End this ridiculousness!

Probably the best, most concise advice I've ever given.
If I do say so myself....

Nah, it is not difficult to handle the power, you just need to hold the handle bar harder. I saw how motorcycle racers do it on Youtube videos.

looks tasty cody. speaking of "hunter mix" any chance we could discuss upcoming rifle deer season on this thread? just a thought

Absolutely!
I haven't actually done any deer hunting since 2007 when I became a Nebraska resident. As I said earlier I'm originally from Iowa. I still go camp for 3 or 4 days at our group's cabin for 1st shotgun season which is always the first full weekend of December. Partially due to Iowa's great hunting their out-of-state licenses are incredibly expensive. Because of that I haven't wanted to spend the money to hunt. $600 give or take is a lot of money for a little bit of deer meet.
As for rifle season. Here in Nebraska it begins November 10th every year. This is typically near the beginning of rut. Stand or blind hunting with bow or rifle really depends on the heavy deer movement caused by rut.
The shotgun hunting I'm accustomed to involves using walkers to drive dear to posted hunters at the end of a section. Our season is at the end of after rut so it's more nescassary to make the deer move.

I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a bow. But I can remove of Buell velocity stack with my bare hands no two-by-fours or ratchet straps required. Not sure if that makes me a real man or not?https://youtu.be/tzCBPowM3So


the last time i heard you making all that huffing and puffing and grunting and groaning cody was @ Big Daddy's Adult book store just outside of Omaha.
 
Looking at passing on this great recipe book I picked up from Lunatic.
Slightly used but willing to let go for $11.95 + shipping, bargain!

Retails for $6.95, includes shipping from Big Daddy's.
 
After replacing the intake gaskets with new blue James Gaskets and Hylomar the error 34 still appears.
