I've been a BWB member for a little while now, but I still can't figure out some of the organization of things here. Example: Obviously the XBoard and BB&D get FAR more traffic through them than the Knowledge Vault, but we are supposed to post mechanical-related threads in Knowledge Vault. What good does that do if hardly anyone visits the KV section? Answers come 5x faster in the other sections of the board. In other news, may I call your attention to my recent post in KV.  http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/456238.html?1241028775 | ||

I can't help you with the clutch question, but I might be able to answer the other one. It seems to me that technical questions are what we all live for, ergo, the questions get asked all over the board. You are right, not much traffic on the KV for answering a question like that. The moderators can then move informative helpful threads to the KV to organize them and help clean up the messes we all make here. | ||

I replaced my stock fried clutch with an Energy One about 1.5 years ago, and had eventual problems that I had to go back in and modify. The guy at E-One (Kevin, I think?) wants to be helpful, but obviously is not aware of the latest Buell clutches 2005 or 2006+, but is still claiming his stuff is a drop in replacement. It's NOT, but I did get mine to work with some changes. I will try to dig up some of my old posts, rather than recreate the whole mess here. Hang tight... | ||

I also feel the KV is a waste. I read just about every single thread on Badweb, yet almost never go into the KV. | ||

OK, your message got me motivated to capture what I learned the hard way on this replacement clutch, and post it in a new topic on KV, which should make it show up on a search easier. Link to my original BB&D post on my clutch failure Sept 2007: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/314494.html Link to post I just entered that summarizes my experience under a new KV topic: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/456488.html?1241113243 I hope I can save you some time with the research I did to fix my problem. Energy One let me down on this one... | ||

Man...that original thread about your install of the EnergyOne kit is what made me decide to buy from them. Wish I had known you had problems with it. I haven't had issues with grabby starts yet. Hopefully I won't, but if I do I know what the problem is. Maybe (doubtful) Ken/Kent at EnergyOne has sorted out the stack height since you had your problem. So arcticktm- did you leave that spring seat in place against the back wall when you put the EnergyOne plates in? | ||

arcticktm- Just thought of something. Do you remember which kit # you put in? Was it the BTX-11 kit? When I ordered by phone they (energyone) told me that my correct kit was not shown on their website. The kit they sent me is # BXB-912 (i guess to mean Buell XB9 XB12). Maybe they did a redesign. | ||

im going to bump this, im curious as to the answer here... i think my clutch is fried after 12k miles. Can anyone clarify if the BXB-912 is an updated kit? Arctic? |
