I would like to say Hello, and introduce myself. My name is Chris and I live in the Midwest united states. I have recently purchased a 2009 Buell 1125R back in March, I have been riding sport bikes only since 2009 and have only had Japanese sport bikes. I'm a MOD on another motorcycle forum so I figured this would be the best way to introduce myself. However much like a lot of first time posters necessity breeds introduction. I'm having electrical issues to the cluster, and I have trolled some of the other threads so I'm about to go try taking my ignition off and also recheck my fuses with my multimeter. However I do have a question about a plug that I found when I disassembled my front fairing. I don't have a manual as of yet so I'm just trying to get some extra information first. Thanks for letting me join, and I will upload a picture with the aforementioned questionable plug. (Edit: I'll have to upload it at a later time, as my internet at home does not support the upload program) To get an idea it is a white plug in that lives on the back side of the dash cluster, however it wasn't plugged into anything, it has two metal looking prongs on it. Thanks guys. Chris. |

Cool deal. Yeah after going back out there I saw it was grey. Thank you oldog. Also it was that wire causing my electrical issues. Chris. |

I would turn the key to ignition and the lights would come on. But the tach wouldn't do its configure and then gauges wouldn't come on. As well as no fuel pump priming. And then if I went to parking lights nothing would come on. Chris. |

These things are finicky, but are fantastic rides! What bike are you coming off of? What site are you a Mod for? |

I had a 95 yamaha fzr. Unfortunately I traded that with my R1 for the Buell. fzronline.com is the other website. The FZR was my baby. I never really liked the R1 at all. Chris |

A friend of mine has an old FZR, we flat blacked it, rejetted & resynced the carbs, it's a fantastic bike, he won't sell me the damned thing! |

Haha I hear you. I didn't really want to sell her. But I felt bad that she was just sitting there not being ridden. Chris. |
