Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
At 3000 miles my 1125R started the clutch weep. Bought my XB with a starting problem at around 9k miles, turned out to be the TPS gone bad. when I took it in to harley to have it calibrated they found that my clutch had pretty much fused together into basically one piece, that was real cute. Other than that no problems.
|
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: |
Stuck the label from a bottle of St. Pauli Girl to the bottom of my passenger seat on the 1125.

Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): |
Round Top Rd/Tantalus Drive just outside of Honolulu.

Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I remember when I was much younger my cousin telling me about an experience of riding a Buell for a lap around Road Atlanta. Forgot about it for a few years and then I decided I wanted a motorcycle and remembered that story, figured I'd try it out. from the first second that I sat on my XB, without even turning it on yet, I knew she was the one for me. Haven't had a desire to buy another make of bike since, except maybe a CBR600 or an R6.
|
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: |
Start making them again. We are waiting, Erik.
