| City: | Cut Bank |
| State/Province: | Montana |
| Country: | USA |
| Personal Quote: | Nothing settles a muddled mind like a brisk ride out in God's creation - preferably on a good bike. Buell is first on the list. |
| Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | S-3T |
| Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | Y2K |
| Color: | Amazon Green |
| V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
| Servicing Dealership: | Latus Motors H-D, Buell. Spokane |
| Performance Mods!: | K&N air filter with hand made bracket, removed snorkel and install velosity ring, relocate sensor.Penske shock, Jagg oil cooler and H-D t-stadt, Hotheads by Latus Motors in Spokane WA. Millenium Technologies jugs with H-D pistons,PowerCommander, (stayed with stock cams)custom mapped. Turned 90 hp / 82# torque and I still get 55 + mpg at legal speeds. Borla header and muffler (sounds wonderfull - great feel). |
| Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | At 7500 miles - oil loss through breather system. Buell offers no fix but I'm still trying. High idle at high temps. Found leaking valve guide seal on front exaust port with changing exhaust system. Waiting to see what dealer will do. July 02 - All problems fixed and then some between Buell and the Dealer - happy now. Had warped jugs. Just arrived home from Sturgis, ran mostly legal speeds with heavy load and several days of very high temps. Oil use was about 1/2 quart in over 2000 miles (using Harly bilge while breaking in the new parts). Will go to Amsoil after next oil change and expect oil loss to be reduced even further. |
| Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | Throttlemeister, Saeng Winglets, Corbin Gunfighter and Lady saddle. 02 Shifter and upgraded front muffler bracket. |
| Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | Glacier Park and road from Cut Bank MT to Kalispell MT - Super twities! |
| Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Fun, different, fun. I feel like part of this machine. At only 5'6" it fits me so well. On my H-D I feel like I'm sitting on - - - well, a great big HOG! |
| How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | Adjustable handle bars for the S-3T - something on the order of a Heli-bar, Optional luggage rack for S-3T. Fuel guage. Summer 02: Replace the discontinued S-3T with another more reliable sport touring bike. If H-D does a V-R based sport Touring attempt it will most likely be too big and too heavy and not handle nearly as well as the S-3T. |
| Life History/Philosophy: | Riding since 1963. First bike - Sears&Roebuck Puch 250 (reall bad!). Philosophy - Work hard, play hard, love God, do your best for others - wife and family first - expect your reward from God - people tend to forget - forgive them anyway. |
| Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | As of August 02 , 140 indicated on speedo. |
| Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Amsoil High Performance Motorcycle 20-50 |
