Author Message   Moondust Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 09:26 pm:        Hi, Im jsut about to pick up a BRAND SPANKING NEW xb9sx 07model in a few weeks. Call it pre wedding nerves or whatever but im wondering if any other XB9SX'ers have had any probs with a new model - anything to look out for ? This maybe a strange 'Q' to some but the way I see it New doesn't always mean better or more reliable. The demo bike I tried was great & felt rock solid & I can't help thinking - the dealer would look after that model more as it needs to be on form. I wonder if I have to re adjust anything to suit my riding or even weight for that matter - any tips would be much appreciated (Message edited by moondust on January 15, 2007)   Bake Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 09:31 pm:        Your dealer should help you set up the bikes suspension for you, if not there are lots of tips on this board to help, enjoy I know I do mine.   Xbullet Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 09:39 pm:        i have an 06 cityX. i love it. just take it off the lot, break it in gentle, then once you finish yer break in, ride it like you stole it. i had a kickstand break, but that's what happens when you have bikini clad models posing and climbing all over it as it rests on that cheap little jiffy stand. it's tough being a buell rider..... nah. no it's not.   Cixyx_pilot Posted on Monday, January 15, 2007 - 10:17 pm:        I have an 06 City X I bought new.I have a little over 7000kms on it so far without a single problem. It's alot of fun to ride, I'm sure you will love your new Buell!   Thespive Posted on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 01:12 am:        I have an '06 with 4,000 miles, no problems. --Sean   Corporatemonkey Posted on Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 06:37 am:        Another 06 here... No problems. New doesn't always mean better or more reliable. The demo bike I tried was great & felt rock solid & I can't help thinking - the dealer would look after that model more as it needs to be on form I would actually say the demo bikes get trashed a lot more than any showroom bike. The demo bike do not get a proper break in. Most people take them out and flog them. I know I certainly did... My dealer rolled out a cityx from the showroom floor and turned me loose for a few hours. The bike only had 30miles on. Pulling out of the dealer I hit redline. When I got back, i promptly told them I would take one, a different one... Luckily they had another one there with 3 miles on it.   Starter Posted on Thursday, January 18, 2007 - 07:05 am:        Too bad they redlined it at the factory first.
