went to start bike and it gave a little chug like it didn't want to start,but did. Dies at the first stoplight. bump started it and going down the road first my gauges went blank then it started sounding like it was running on one cylinder. Then at steady rpm it was revving out n dying down, had to keep bumping throttle just to keep it running in traffic and stop signs. Finally died about a mile from my house. : (
The last problem i had looked at was a seeping pushrod cover that the asshats couldn't get to leak,(But still wanted 90$ for an hours labor)((But now it has a fine mist of oil all over the front of the engine again...)). I'm PRAYING its just a wire short or something simple. Any other ideas? This damn bike has literally been in the shop more than out and this little walk today has me seriously thinking about calling a lemon law lawyer. Anyone had any dealing with lemon laws or lemon law lawyers in Cali?

Battery, Voltage Regulator, Stator.

Loose connection to battery.


If it ends up being charging system, fix it and do the meter mod:

For $25, that is a pretty neat device. Nice work on the install, too. This will go on my short list. I don't currently have issues with my XB, but getting stranded sucks....

That happened to mine it was a bad connector to the battery. Took about ten min to fix then never again. Do it before you Kill your battery

How do you guys bump start an XB... 1st gear clutch in, push and let go of the clutch?
I tried and stopped after 10 min because I was sweating too much and couldn't do it!

It's a lot harder to push start a 12 vs. the 9.

The longer stroke makes it much more difficult.

BuellTroll - did you ever get the leaking pushrod cover fixed? Was that the cause of the oil mist on the front of the engine?
