Took a ride with a friend today to Tortilla Flats @ Canyon Lake AZ. today . Road is quite rough but the twisties are fun. The first time I have been anywhere on my Buell except work and to chase parts.
The heat from the head seems to be subsiding as I put some miles on it.
The down side is my front drive sprocket seal is leaking now, That is the only thing I didn't take apart YET. I got to go buy a socket to fit it. I have the seal but didn't have the socket. This thing is fun even for an older Fat guy.
I really got to finish those fenders, I just don't like it without em..
I ran my trans vent and the head vents into the same can , you suppose that is why it leaks now? It didn't leak before that. I will still change it but was just thinking it may be too much pressure? The can is vented so I wouldn't think so but?

I doubt the can is causing pressure issues with the trans or the engine.
But, your drive sprocket seal issue may be associated with a too tight drive belt. Make it "scary loose" or someday you'll have trans issues like bearings to deal with. |

PS the race ECM has a much more rev-friendly limit  |

That is what is in it now. It says for race use only. I just got my cable and ecm spy setup Saturday need to reset the TPS and lighten up on the cold enrichener a bit. It struggles until it warms up and it stumbles a bit around 2500 rpm. Plugs are too black for being new with less than 200 miles on them. And it didn't pass emissions. I got some more work to do as the oil leak turns out to be rear upper pushrod seal. It pushed out a bit and is letting some oil by it. |

Nice collection of bikes there. The SV and ZRX are fine machines! |

If it didn't leak before the change, change it back! Then reassess...
Looks great in the great outdoors. |

That is probably one of the most fun rides near Phoenix. I keep hoping they re-pave the road soon, because it is in pretty bad shape these days.
Did you keep going past Tortilla Flats? We call that the "fast section" and it continues for a while longer before the road turns to dirt.
You have a sharp looking bike! |

I wanted to but the water was running over the road and I didn't want water in places too hard to clean. I have been on this road many times and it is really getting rough for sure. Are you in Phoenix area?
We have a small group that meets at Chases Diner on the first monday of the month, Alma School and Warner. |

Smart move on not crossing the water. The road is "sketchy" to say the least in that area, and it wouldn't be much fun to dump the bike there.
I am in Phoenix and have been meaning to go to the Chases Diner get together for a long time... I think it's about time to finally go. |

P.M. me and I will give you my phone number and e-mail if you want. I also like to go to First Friday downtown Mesa if you are interested. I have a few numbers of the people who go to Chases and text them when I go for a ride if you have an interest. Hard to find people to actually ride. :-) |
