XB, since you're probably the best test case on the whole board, are you running Mobil 1 15W-50 auto oil or Mobil 1 20W-50 V-twin MC oil? Thanks, Hugh | ||

Yes, do tell! | ||

Buelltroll...I knew you couldn't resist. Whodom, Mobil 1 15W-50 auto oil. I've only been using Mobile for about 7500 miles now, Was using the HD non syn stuff. | ||

Whodom,he had his engine replaced at 30,000 miles so his mileage is a little misleading when talking about the engine. | ||

I have close to about the same (30g's) on the engine, and I use the same 15-50 red cap Mobil 1 in the engine and primary. No complaints! | ||
| Whodom |
Thepup- I forgot about his engine change; thanks for reminding me. Vegas- Does that make you the "XB mileage king" on the original engine? If so, that's a pretty good testimonial for redcap. | ||

I have 22,000 using Shell Rotella-T dino oil. | ||

Whodom, An XB in Ohio, had 44112(Approx) from what I recall, on original engine, before being traded in for a New Street Rod. Just as I was approaching 42k. Ski | ||

Not sure Hugh. I have no issues at all with the oil. Honestly I have been through the "usual XB illnesses" such as the speed sensor, the leaking rockerbox, etc. Other than plugs, oil and filter that is about all I have had to do. Now, keep in mind that I try to change the engine oil and filter and primary every 2500-3000 miles Thanks! Nick | ||

No fork seal replacements or cartridges? | ||

he had his engine replaced at 30,000 miles so his mileage is a little misleading when talking about the engine. Exactly, so any claims of the mileage are more than just a little misleading. Hell someone could replace motors till they are blue in the face & then brag about the ultra high mileage they have on their bike. You want high mileage, talk to someone like Tramp who has over 200,000 on his S2 & the motor has never been replaced. | ||

Ski Hello, new to the boards and I thought I'd chime in. I bought this XB9R 2 months ago and its closing in on 46k miles. The guys (As in parts, service, sales, and finance) at the dealership told me is that the previous owner, who is a 70 y/o man, had it serviced religiously. I love this bike and it runs fantastically!  | ||

You want high mileage, talk to someone like Tramp who has over 200,000 on his S2 & the motor has never been replaced. How many times was it rebuilt?? Butch, Congrates on the New Used Bike. I knew the previous owner a little bit. Hope you enjoy it. Ski}} | ||

Never been rebuilt. | ||
| Whodom |
Butch- Congrats. Do you know what kind of oil has been used in it? Hugh | ||

If you are ever touring down south towards Lebanon Ohio, give me a shout! Or let me know if Centennial has any fun Buell stuff going on... | ||
| Xb9rski |
Never rebuilt, Now that's Freak'n Impressive. Ski | ||

Bartimus has an S2 with over 150K on it. Wonder what mileage LaFayette is up to these days on his S3? |
