I have an 03 XB9S, dealer says their are no recalls for my vin. I have read that if I have the corrected kick stand it will have an r stamped on it ? thx, MDM | ||

It could be on the square pad, or on the post that the spring hooks to. | ||

R is on the square plate that goes on the ground. what about the wheel bearing recall. You should have orange seals, not black. | ||

Wheel bearings were not part of a recall. They were a service bulletin and will not show up on a VIN search. | ||

Was the wheel bearing problem a broken bearing or just a stiff bearing? My 05 SX rear wheel had a really stiff bearing. Could barely move it with your fingers and the back pushed kind of hard. The local HD replaced it under warranty. | ||

I have orange seals ! Ok, so I have no R and dealer says no recall (unless the R is on the bottom of the pad ?) | ||

Top of pad. | ||

maybe this will shed some light hope its relevant didnt read it all. there is a link to the service bulletin for the bearings there. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/327 77/80560.html | ||

I went through my collection of bulletins and do not see one that pertains to the '03 XB9S. There is a recall for the XB9SL (B-052), and the '03 XB9R (B-048), but I dont see anything for XB9S. I cant remember if there was a program for that model or not, maybe someone else has a better memory than I do. I have bulletins B001 thru B059, if anyone has more recent ones than I do if you could get those to me it would be appreciated. (Message edited by 99buellx1 on November 08, 2006) | ||

Here's a picture showing the two places the 'R' could be stamped.  | ||

What about the XB9SL? Did they have replacement kickstands for those too, since they are shorter? | ||
| Dooley |
So the kickstand WITH the R is the good one? or is this the bad one? | ||
| Krassh |
I thought the kickstand recall was only for 2002 XB9R's? I believe they caught it on the production line before the 2003 XB9S's came out. | ||
| 99buellx1 |
There is no such thing as a model year 2002 XB9R. The XB line started as a 2003 model.
Yes.
As I stated two posts above yours: "There is a recall for the XB9SL (B-052)" | ||

You can search for recalls on the NHTSA website. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls /recallsearch.cfm. |
