sorry I missed tonight; work has been a bear. | ||
| Motomut |
Looks like I will be MIA all this week due to work. Does anyone know if the buell motor has a knock sensor (to retard spark)??? Been thinking more about the ping issue. | ||
| Medic352 |
Does it ping a lot? Have you tried a different brand of fuel QT vs. Gulf or Phillips 66? I would allow that a knock sensor is in place, to allow the ECM to adjust the timing curves, I will consult the service and parts manuals to be for sure. Chase,it sounds good to me, I'll probably end up with a drummer anyway, this will get me through. I bet I can figure it out. I'll call up Jardine or Dennis Kirk to see about a repack kit. Thanks! | ||

OK, that thing I said about the weather. I just jinxed myself. I got poured on last night, during last nights storm. | ||
| Medic352 |
Brain, Thanks a million man. | ||
| Eagleez8 |
Is anyone planning on riding later today or tommorow? Let me know. | ||
| Medic352 |
Maybe tomorrow. Give me a shout. 835-2471, leave a message, got some running to to during the day. I am always up for a ride. Jason | ||
| Nasty73z |
Jason, did you get the pipe put on? | ||
| Medic352 |
Not yet, waiting on a repack kit to come in the mail. I might(read that as will) put it on tomorrow for general principle. Waiting on a baffle for my force header on my X-1 too, wow they are LOUD...and to think, I have one of those headers for an XB too...?!? I did make a clear breather top for an XB, then another with the dimple, but I got some small bubbles in the plexiglas from the heat, looks okay though...I'll snap some pics when I get the pipe on. Thanks | ||
| Medic352 |
Hey, any of you guys ever thought of putting pepper spray on your Buell? I have been kicking around the idea of a little nitrous, wonder if anybody makes a kit for the XB's? | ||
| Dtx |
Sorry for the late notice, but there is a ride tomorrow (Sunday) that I just found out about. Meet @ QT I44 & 161st 9:00 a.m. From there, we'll head East to Spavinaw and Jay for some twisties. Show up if you wanna come. I will be there unless another storm comes rolling through again. Check here tomorrow morning before you leave for a status update. | ||
| Dtx |
Weather is looking good. I will be there. | ||
| Medic352 |
Here is a pic of the pipe on my XB12R!  Couple of pics of the clear lid I made for my XB9S, the one without the dimple, I'll make a few for in the next couple of days, get it right, if you guys want one?    | ||
| Eagleez8 |
Nice... | ||
| Nasty73z |
Looks great! The clear lid is an awesome idea. How do you like the Jardine so far? | ||
| Medic352 |
It has a nice deep tone, not too raspy. Works for me. I still wouldn't mind having a drummer, and maybe a drummer for my X-1, that force header is LOUD. But, now, my X-1 is a wheelie king. | ||
| Dtx |
Medic, I forgot to ask...what is the story with your dyno run in Joplin. Did it run strong? | ||
| Medic352 |
2003 XB9S with race kit 78.92 HP 2005 XB12R with race kit 85.23 HP 2004 XB12R with K&N filer, stock pipe, 93.86 HP Sorry, no RPM or torque figures available. So the race kit is worth -10 HP (negative 10 horses, but hey it sounds cool right?) | ||
| Medic352 |
Chase, any chance you could send me the directions for the muffler repack? Mainly which end to take apart, I thought they were gona' send me some, Jardine sent me the wrong ones(not for an RT1, and not for a repack either). Thanks | ||
| Medic352 |
Brian, the levers and peg for your bike came in! And, I got the 2007 airbox lid to check out! | ||

| B_bueller |
Jason, Did you do another dyno run at Joplin? I am waiting for a local dyno shoot out, to see if there is an improvement with mine. Thanks for getting the leavers and pegs.You still want the econo-drummer? Oh, Thanks for the imfo on the track days,I got to get ready for it. Brian. | ||
| Medic352 |
Brian, Those are the figures from Joplin the day we all went up, posted 'em for Drake. Yeah, I still want the muffler. | ||
| Dtx |
Medic, You got yourself one of the strong horses! 94 HP with stock exhaust...wow! When are the "Harley Drags" at the strip? I would like to do it this year. | ||
| Medic352 |
Seems like last year they were in September, Sportster/Buell Shoot-Out. I'll find out for sure. | ||
| Medic352 |
Here is the link to the drag strip: http://tulsaracewaypark.com/index.htm | ||

Jason, I'll bring the pipe to Hallett. Brian. | ||
| B_bueller |
Drake, Need advice on tires for track days. I am running Pirelli Diablos with about 65% tread left, with the usual OKC flat spot down the middle. Do you think I can get two days at Hallett out of them? Brian. | ||
| Dtx |
Brian, I would say you will probably be fine. You will be on the sides of the tires most of the time anyway. | ||
| Dtx |
Another late notice ride (SORRY!) Meet at 8:00 am @ the Quik Trip I44 & 161st. Leave at 8:30. Route is going to be to Locust Grove, Spavinaw and Jay. Should be back to Tulsa by 1:00. I'll check the weather tomorrow morning, but it should be good! | ||
| Cochise |
Drake, it looks like I'll be staying at the track overnight Friday the 13th. Thank you for the offer. | ||
| Dtx |
No problem...maybe I will camp too. Let me know if anything changes. I'm headed towards the Quik Trip soon. (For todays ride) (Message edited by dtx on July 04, 2007) | ||

If you need a key for your Buell, Holders Lock and Key can make you one for less then $5.00. This seems like a deal after paying $25.00 for a pair from HD. | ||
| Motomut |
the new 1125r motor looks like the real deal, 150 HP!  what does that leave us with "timeless classics" or "outdated iron"  | ||
| Medic352 |
Well, that rotax inspired engine marks a severe step away from Harley, and at the same time, that concretes in the models I will mess with. Slipper clutch sure, 150 Hp, cool, like the dash and fairing, the radiators look a little like an after thought, drive on the left. We shall see. Glad they are making those strides. |
