Personal Quote: | What's the worst that could happen? |
Bike Model (Ex - M2, XB12Rr, S1W, P3): | 1125CR, S3 converted to S1(ish), M2 |
Model Year (Please enter full 4-digit year): | Depends on which parts you're referring to |
Color: | Red, Black (as it should be), Yellow |
V.I.N. (To aid in problem resolution. Will not be displayed or shared otherwise.) : | (Hidden) |
Servicing Dealership: | Me |
Performance Mods!: | It's within the rules. No more questions. |
Problems/Miles (Please be specific): | To many to list. A sampling: Mileage unknown: Oil pump died (thrust washer failed). Little tiny shiny bits inside cam cover. Total damage - oil pump and oil pump drive gear (after a complete teardown and inspection). Rest of engine remarkably ok. All better now. 1/8th mile after previous issue: Tranny spitting out of fourth gear. Excessively mean upshifts likely culprit. Overrev because some jackwagon decided to up the rev limiter providing opportunity for valve and piston to form an intimate relationship. All better now. Voltage regulator took out battery and every bulb on the stinkin' thing. All better now. The nut between the handlebar and seat keeps coming loose. Most likely unrepairable. |
Other Mods/Misc/Customization.: | I think the seat is stock, otherwise yes. |
Favorite Rides (Roads and Routes): | B77 & B70 near Koflach in Austria, US 129 (Deals Gap), NC 28, NC 143 (Cherohala Skyway), North Kettle Moraine, WI 171 from Richland Center to the Great River Road, Road America, Barber, Laguna Seca, Homestead, Blackhawk Farms and Autobahn South. Just not Pocono (death trap). |
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: | Excellent handling with huge torque. |
How can Buell improve their motorcycles?: | I'm not at liberty to say. |
Life History/Philosophy: | When in doubt, gas it. It may not solve the problem, but it ends the suspense. |
Top speed on 2 wheels (mph): | Nope, not falling for that again..... |
Preferred engine oil (brand/grade): | Torco 20W50 |
