Today my wife and I were out on a cruise together me on my Buell her on her Boulevard. We got about 30 miles from nowhere and clutch cable felt like it broke. I took off the inspection cover and saw the lever inside was moving like its supposed to but it wouldnt let me shift into or out of gear. I was stuck.. however luckily out of absolutely nowhere was a little farm store i limped her into it. towed it 120 miles to the dealer to get her fixed.
Here is what is geting fixed.

9300 miles and
1.)front motor mount worn almost out....motor clunks when going over small bumps...lots of vibration, started about 200 miles ago.
2.) oil seapeage out of the rear cylinder base.
3.) Clutch something broken.
4.)Super loud( over a loud exhaust i can hear it 5 feet away.) knocking coming from both sides of the bottom of the motor when its hot or cold.

I will be down from riding the buell for a while.
It wil be interesting to see how BMC and HD handle this one. Its ALL normal wear and tear i donot beat my bike but i dont baby her either. No burn outs..hell i got 6300 miles out of pilot powers and no wheelies either. I have changed oil/tranny every 3000. had my 1k and 5k done at the dealership... oh well it undrwarranty THANK GOD!!

I guess i better start sweet talking the wife so she will let me rider her motorcycle.

This sucks!

Jason,

Concerning your engine knocking noise, have you seen the service alert dealing with the primary drive sprocket nut torque specification change?


Click to see the alert.

It will fly by in the banner above the threads! But basically the important stuff is already there.
