Still waiting for parts from the mother ship, they just got put on super secret back order with no delivery date ?!?!? Riding off road, I blew out the Belt (got) the front sprocket (got) Rear Sprocket G0400.1AA NEED Idler Pulley G0604.1AAA NEED The next time this happens I am going to chain. Any help locating these would be great. I am paying for the parts, not charity, just parts that aint in stock and I cant get anytime soon. Thanks for all your help. 14 days with out the Buell makes me grumpy. |

im surprised you didnt try the dealer locator. appleton says they have the G0604.1AAA and a few places say they have the other part. but i didnt call any of them. maybe you already did and hdnet is wrong? |

Crap - I have stock 2003 pulleys and belt. Can't verify part numbers but it's race weekend and can't get to them until Tuesday. PM me if that does you any good. They are the old style 03 pulleys and belt. Not good but available in a box somewhere in garage or shop or storage. PM me if you need em. |

Appleton has a note from me in Vendors section. Thanks for the Heads up. The 2003 parts are apparently significantly different that I was recommended (esp with the abuse that I put the bike through) not to put them on the 2006. Thanks for the look though Slaugther, good luck at the Races. |

I love this place. I want to thank y'all. The people and the vendors here are absolutely what make the difference. Back on the road before the parts come off back order from the factory. More Muddy pics to follow. |

I have a spare pulley from an 05 9sx with the belt in the "ready reserve" box in the garage. Give me a shout if it will help you. |

The next time this happens I am going to chain. I was just looking at the XT and it seems they are pretty confident in the NEW belt again. Says the same for the X and they show it on a dirt/gravel road. "Clean, quiet and extremely strong, the Veyance Hibrex belt with Flexten Plus technology never needs replacing, maintenance or adjustments of any kind." -Buell site, xt features. That is a bold claim with no asterisk. The belt alone cost the same or more than a chain and sprocket set for my other bike. If I ruined my pulleys too.....

* No claims or warrantees to be implied, construed, or guaranteed if you attempt to treat a City-X like a ULY. Warning riding bike off pavement maybe be contagious. Should you find muddy mucky puddled fireroads, forest access roads, power lines calling your name, Seek immediate help. Apply liberal doses of Adventure Mud to bike and stay on pavement. |

Boxed up, I'll try and ship it tonight. And there is an additional "mystery part" in the box. We will have to see how good your memory is to see if you can identify it. It may be the missing link to make your 9sx *truly* dirt worthy or maybe it'll just look cool glued to your toolbox |

* Apply liberal doses of Adventure Mud to bike and stay on pavement. I've been meaning to contact you in reference to being your supplier of South East Adventure Mud. I can supply Grey Marl, Everglades Muck,(not from the actual park, that would be illegal,) wet beach sand and plain old south east mud. Add extra shipping if gravel is desired in the grey marl. I also have access to ample amounts of crushed limestone sand which is excellent to make your air filter appear as though you ride off road. Also good for scuffing surfaces to give that rugged look. We could discuss my drop shipping the mud to keep costs down and profits up. Also offering dried mud, just add water and apply where clean. Thanks for your consideration- Miamiuly.
