Author Message   Toomanyhobbies Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 09:39 pm:        Hey there all, I just have a question because of the difference between my XB and my Ducati. When I roll off the throttle and coast my Ducati goes significantly further than the XB. It feels like very little friction. Is that the wheel bearings? If so is that upgradeable? Seems like it would affect fuel economy and all the failed bearings etc I've heard. Sorry if this is dumb, lol   Froggy Posted on Monday, August 24, 2009 - 10:45 pm:        Clutch in or out? The Buell is very different from your Duc, and will engine brake differently.   Toomanyhobbies Posted on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 04:02 am:        Clutch in, just coasting   Aptbldr Posted on Tuesday, August 25, 2009 - 07:21 am:        Partly, its due to belt-drive tension. Replaced stock fixed idler wheel with aftermarket spring-loaded wheel. Bike's obviously now easier to push around garage & drive. 04XB12R, 8k miles.
