Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
JUST UPDATED (30Mar07): Pins/ Bolts attatching header intake to engine broke off causing a clanking sound and nearly burning up my clutch cable. Clutch cable jam nut actually cracked the clutch cable "housing"?, Aftermarket Buell rider seat: screw hole on left side cracked so when screw is tightened, hole opens up. Left headlight became loose, but all screws are tight and intact thus it bounces around a lot, threading was easily stripped on primary cover so a new one was ordered (under warranty thank God)...Oh yea and a chattering fan that seems to be overpowered by voltage current at times, and awfully underpowered by voltage current other times.

Kanan Dume Rd./ 405 freeway/ Sepulveda Blvd (from Santa Monica to the Pass
|
Why I do/don't ride a Buell: |
I like the way it looks, and like the engine sound, but I question its reliability and may switch back to Japanese or even go English. I support those Bueller looking for a water cooled engine, I am tired of mediocre parts being used for an alternative to what should be there.
