Author Message   Plumpton Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 04:44 pm:        Took delivery of a new (march 08 build) 1125r today from Blackbear in the UK. This is only the 2nd one they have sold since the 1125 has been on sale! Unbelievable... They have done a really good job of getting this bike ready for me and have performed the following tweaks:- 2009 dash unit fitted ECM flashed with latest firmware Modified dipstick fitted with correct measurements Side stand spring replaced Tank breather vent re-routed to the rear left foot peg 2009 clutch cover fitted They have also replaced both rear indicators AND have supplied me with two new spare units just in case something happens on the road. Done almost 100 miles on it already and im really pleased. The CityX was good but this is better :-)   Ds_tiger Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 04:56 pm:        Congrats Man! 100 miles - it gets better and better, the motor really comes into a smoother and stronger tune the more miles you rack up. Weather in Cambridgeshire doesn't look too bad for this weekend- SO GET BUSY RIDING!! Cheers!   Sportster_mann Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 05:22 pm:        Plumpton, glad you took the plunge, have you told Crowley yet ? Ds_tiger, have you got yourself onto www.ukbeg.com yet ?   Ds_tiger Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 05:37 pm:        No I haven't Just checked it out. NICE- good to keep tabs on the UK contingent. Now on my daily list to visit Thanks Bro!   Badlionsfan Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 06:23 pm:        The CityX was good but this is better :-) Couldn't agree more. Enjoy the new ride.   Black Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 06:23 pm:        Good on you dude! I couldn't find anybody here (Virginia, USA) to let me test ride one until right before the Buell 25th anniversary. I finally talked a dealer into letting me. WOW! I needed a hydraulic press to get the smile off my face. Bought one a month later. I have had zero trouble with it. As we say down South, it runs like a scalded dog! Enjoy!   Ccryder Posted on Friday, March 13, 2009 - 08:27 pm:        Did your 1125r need the clutch shaft jet rework? Thats where they put the brass plug (with a hole for a jet) into the end of the clutch shaft to maintain oil for the gears. Besides that ride it and have fun!!!!   Plumpton Posted on Saturday, March 14, 2009 - 02:31 am:        No mention of that from the mechanic when he gave me a run down on what work had been done on it prior to delivery.... Is it something I need to take up at the first service?   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, March 14, 2009 - 08:04 am:        The trans jet is the ONLY safety recall for the 1125R(08s).   Black Posted on Saturday, March 14, 2009 - 08:28 am:        http://www.usrecallnews.com/2008/06/nhtsa-1374.htm l   Plumpton Posted on Saturday, March 14, 2009 - 03:15 pm:        Racked up 200 miles on the R today. Crikey. It goes alright doesn't it... Might have accidentally got carried away whilst chasing another bike down a country lane.... Meant to be running it in :-(
