| Servicing Dealership: | Me, mostly |
| Performance Mods!: | Race pipe (stock pipe back on 4/2009), K&N Filter, ECM |
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | 0 major problems in 25000 miles... Rear suspension was set for a rider of half the weight the fork was by the dealer... Had to correctly readjust the clutch cable after 1000 mi service by another dealer... Fan kaput at 25,000 mi, what a pain to install... still on almost always. Wheel bearings bad at 26,000 miles |

| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Low End Torque... |
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | Bigger diameter stock grips Usable stock mirrors (the new TT has weights to improve vibration I see) Improve dealers, stock more Buell parts Lower 1st (better in town traffic), raise 5th, both slightly and space gearing to match. I think this was fixed in 2007 but my front hits the chin fairing under hard braking. |
