I bought a left over 2008 1125R 3 weeks ago. I have 580 miles on the bike. The right rear turn signal no longer works. There is a small hole on the clutch side below the Pegasus logo leaking fluid. Is there a specific part no. for the turn signal fix ? Does the clutch side leak sound like the same clutch issues with other 1125R's ? Is there a specific part no. or kit to fix this ? I went to my dealer today and they are totally cluless..had no idea where to look or what I was talking about and I could tell were getting pissed. Thanks for your help... | ||

Turn signals are a warranty item. Found the p/n Y0527.1AM for the turn signals. The leaking clutch should be resolved with p/n X2086.1AM - Hydraulic Piston/Sleeve Kit. It's a warranty issue as well. Hope that helps. (Message edited by P_squared on August 24, 2009) | ||

It's time for Buell to mandate the dealers fix these issues before they hand the keys to these "new" bikes to PAYING customers. Take responsibility and show some pride. I had to agree to this before my account would post Brad, Please either cease posting your belittling negativity and derision towards Buell motorcycles or avoid posting on BadWeB. Final warning. The choice is yours. Blake Seems to me, what I propose/speak of would go a lot father in promoting the long term health of the Buell name than whisking these problems aside or bragging there are only a few recalls when more recalls would increase the customer experience. I'm not a troll, I would not be here reading if I did not want a new Buell, but come on, a little help please! | ||

Buell can mandate all they want... BUT I don't see how they can enforce any mandate. My experience with two Buells is they have a weak dealer network, in part due to their lack of experience with the product and in part to their lack of interest in a low volume, low margin product. Tough to fix that when you produce a low selling boutique product. I guess it's my turn to take some fire Brad. Sometimes reality just sucks!! | ||

I agree with brad. I would love to get a new R but the dealerships around me are pretty crappy unless your bike says HD. I've had an x1 for 7 years now and EVERYTHING I ve needed fixed they've botched, refused, or found some way to irritate me and rethink my love for the buells. Example: the x1's shock was a recall, my dealership refused to replace it as did 3 others so I just bought a new one out of MY pocket when the stocker spit it guts everywhere at 5k lol. I'd hate to think of having a ricer or triumph but if they can't back their machines but I know someday I will get another bike. Not exactly sure it will be a buell... | ||

There are recall items and replace as needed items. Not all BASs fail. Mine did on my Uly. Three times. Others had the same issue I did. Many did not. A recall wasn't needed, but they were replaced as needed. I'm not certain, but I believe there are significant costs associated with an official recall vs. agreeing to replace failed parts as needed (even beyond the warranty period). Many companies (Honda, Kawasaki, BMW, etc.) have had known failures and refused to replace them under warranty or out of warranty. Let alone issue a recall. | ||

I understand what you are sayin jeremy. All of us aren't lucky enough to have nice dealers like bumpus close by tho. My experience with the local ehh holes has left a sour taste and empty wallet. I've bought more parts off of here than I'd ever buy from those yahoo's! I even hate goin to the buell demos at their dealership | ||

Brad: "It's time for Buell to mandate the dealers fix these issues before they hand the keys to these "new" bikes to PAYING customers. " If you stuck to answering the questions, then no one would have an issue with your posts. Most riders are looking for answers to their issues not your BS about the way you think Buell should do business. Chris: P_squared gave you some of the answers. Now you need to work with your Dealer to resolve the issues. If that doesn't work then you should call Buell Customer Service. One hint, stick to the point and be nice to everyone you are working with to resolve the issues. Mandating probably won't get you too far, IMHO. Let us know how it turns out. Neil S. BTW, my Dealer resolved my weep issue with an updated o-ring. I switched out my turn signals before I had any issues since I had some spares around (I did have an issue with the after-market replacements and the manufacturer replaced them 2x). | ||

Lack of uniformity of dealer service and sales delivery IS an issue. It is with EVERY manufacturer, but I believe that it is more acute within Buell/HD. I'm NOT justifying the dealer. I'm just trying o give my take on why every issue isn't a recall. | ||

Brad: What Neil said, with the addition of a few choice modifiers. E "It's time for Buell to mandate the dealers fix these issues before they hand the keys to these "new" bikes to PAYING customers." If you stuck to answering the questions, then no one would have an issue with your posts. Most riders are looking for answers to their issues not your sanctimonious BS about the way you think Buell should do business.  | ||

"Seems to me, what I propose/speak of would go a lot father in promoting the long term health of the Buell name than whisking these problems aside or bragging there are only a few recalls when more recalls would increase the customer experience." BadWeB, despite your obvious delusions to the contrary, is not the Buell Motorcycle Company corporate board room. So please spare us your sanctimonious pontificating. No one is "whisking" any "problem aside" anywhere on this Buell Enthusiasts' Forum. "I'm not a troll, I would not be here reading if I did not want a new Buell, but come on, a little help please!" You are the king of trolls! If you want a new Buell, then go purchase one. | ||

Thanks for the part numbers P-Squared. Just a little background on me..I worked a second job at 2 Harley dealers for 9 years. I was a service writer/parts sales and Buell sales. (one of the shops was rated no. 6 in service out of over 600 dealers..we took great pride in our work) I went to East Troy for Buell training in 1998. I'm one of the faithful. My local dealer is one of those with the Buells pushed in the corner (by the bathrooms of all places) and appear to be lacking in service procedures for Buell and probably need some training in customer service too ! Thats why I asked for the parts numbers so I could approach the service personnel with updated information. I'm more than willing to resolve this with the dealer, and if I can't then I'll call Buell and take my bike some other place. My only real concern is the mechanical skills of the person who is going to work on my bike...since this dealer does not seem to have a lot of Buell experience. |
