Author Message   Dgrs2 Posted on Thursday, August 21, 2014 - 10:28 pm:        Sold mine three years ago and want one back. Cash in hand. Located in Northeastern PA. PM me. I had a 06. Wouldn't mind the same year or something newer. I've been reading that 07 is a year to stay away from.   Ronaldo Posted on Sunday, September 07, 2014 - 07:38 pm:        I have an 08 XB12X, 29,200 miles. Thrust Blue. Runs good, Tires are good.

Going to ask $4200.   Babired Posted on Thursday, January 08, 2015 - 03:59 pm:        what did you hear its good to stay away from the 07 Uly? Just curious?   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, January 08, 2015 - 04:06 pm:        07s could have a badly machined crank. It wasn't all 07s, but all of the badly machined batch seem to have been put in 07s.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, January 08, 2015 - 06:17 pm:        It's not a certain death, but it's not insignificant either. Here is hard data: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/648773.html?1374261251 Keep in mind people with well running bikes don't do much work to go post that all is well, and people with a bad crank are looking anywhere and everywhere to tell somebody. I seem to recall it might have been bad heat treating or something, but in 08 they made the crank bigger at the same time they upgraded the oil system, and they didn't do that for fun.   Javadog Posted on Thursday, March 05, 2015 - 08:54 am:        Did you ever buy one? I have an '06 with a ton of accessories I might sell. Thanks
