Finally got the K&N air filter, new spark plugs, and spark plug wires installed. Took it for a spin around the block and it is running better than ever. |

Hey Tim, I got my confirmation e-mail for AMP. I'm good for the morning session. I think I'll run my stock exhaust and if you run your slip on we can have a good reference for pass or fail. |

funny you should say that about Arrowhead Bartimus, i picked up my 09 xb9sx from the dipsticks in yuma and it was leaking before we had it halfway home. called them up the next day and they wanted 250 to look at it!!1wtf?? looked up the next nearest shop and that was Arrowhead. my stepdad took it there as i had run out of leave time waiting for yuma to be able to hand it over to me in the first place. he took it to Arrowhead and they said it was the high pressure oil seals that had gotten crimped or something during instal. also they did a tune up and tightened everything that should have been checked before delivery. free of charge since it was supposed to have been done before i even saw the bike. well needles to say that while i was still in Okinawa my stepdad fell in love with my bike and put 1200 or so miles on it...lol hes the one who told me to go with a sportster. now he wants one coz im back and i ride it everyday. |

Ok so what is the itinerary for the fall ride sept. 16-18, where, when, etc. I would have loved to have made it to the Durango ride but I need at least 3 months notice to get the time off at work. Really looking forward to this upcoming ride. |

I am thinking of selling my Buell Cr, if anyone is out there looking for one. 2009 model, Black, great shape. high bars, axle sliders, lowered pegs. I still have the cafe bars, and also an extra muffler, that I picked up on ebay. $6,800. REX |

this was a cool post on the clutch.. I e-mailed Erik Buell Racing asking if their newly offered clutch actuator will fix the clutch weep problem. It is listed on their page as: Erik Buell Racing Clutch Actuator Cylinder Kit Erik Buell Racing racing clutch actuator kit as used in the AMA Superbikes. The revised piston diameter improves modulation and feel. The cylinder sleeve is manufactured from stainless steel, and is precision honed. The mating actuator piston is made from 6061-T6 aluminum, and fitted with multiple orings, and back up rings. This ensures stiction free actuation, and excellent clutch feel. X2086.11AZ Here is the reply: Hello Bob, The actuator diameter is changed, so the stroke is increased, thus clutch modulation is more gradual for improved feel. Finding neutral is improved, as is modulation from pulling away from a stop. This actuator has a different seal design than the Buell parts, and we have had no weep/leak issues with it. It was designed based on our pool of knowledge over the years working with the engine. Thanks, Michael To me, this reads "weep fix" but then I'm not like you.} |

Art, the Ridefest was to be at the Tal wi wi lodge in Alpine, az those dates. There was a block of rooms set aside but I don't think anyone else made reservations besides me. I had to cancel mine, as I have family coming into town that week. Perhaps Nick or Kelly can pick up the rally and roll with it? I'm not sure what the situation is up there with the fire damage and all this past summer. |

Leaving for Bonneville today, and the Bubs event. I will be there thru Sept. 2nd. We will be in the Radio tower, broadcasting, but I don't think you can hear 89.7, Radio Free Bub, the fastest radio on earth this week, from the Phoenix area. If you want to do a short trip to Wendover and back, drop by and see us in the tower. You will have a Buelltiful time. REX |

Don't forget, if anyone is looking for a good CR in the Phoenix area, send them my way. Thanks, REX |

So, just so I can make plans for something to do with my first weekend off in 3 months, is anyone planning anything Sept 16-18, the dates of the Ridefest. Or should I plan a solo ride somewhere? Let me know if anyone is going. |

Too much homework :P Glad you had fun Sometime I have to rewire my fan... Extended 110+ riding will give me skip spark. I have done just about everything I can besides the rewire. Just trying to find a way to do it without the CEL. I have a few ideas that should work, I just haven't had the time... 19 credit hours this semester, in the aerospace program that is a bit rough :P Phil |
