Im probaly taking the bike to the dealer a little after the sun rises and they open but I just wanted to see if anybody had any ideas first. All of a sudden my bike stubles at about 6000 rpm, especialy if im hard into the throttle, it will climb just like normal but then all of a sudden start bucking like its cutting in and out. It kinda feels like hitting the rev limiter, but isnt the rev limiter a bit higer on a 9. But it doesnt do it if bring it up and ease through the rpms only if im into the throttle. Any thoughts would be great. Oh and by the way i had the upper and lower air box out today looking at it and thinking about cutting the upper airbox, but decided to wait till i had all the hardware with me all at once, so i just put everything back together. | ||

just make sure it does what you tell them because they have a habit of telling you it's not doing it and then that is when you have to shell some money out of your pocket | ||

So i dropped it off at the dealer sat mourning. The guy calls me up at like 3 to tell me its done. I shoot back down there all excite to have it fixed. He tried blaming it on me messing around with the air box and said i shift the velocity stack out of alignment. All well and good so i take it for a quick test ride before my ride leaves and the problem is still there. I bring it back and tell him its as bad or worse and he takes it out for 2 test rides and proceeds to tell me hes baffled. So now i have to wait till tues. for him to be able to call buell and ask them what they think. arrrggghhhh. | ||

I have found that die electric silicone cures a lot of evil things. Put on all plugs, expressly the O2 sensor, throttle sensor, temp sensor. computer plugs. | ||

Ya know, I've cured more cars and bikes that have had weird running problems with a correction of a flaky ground than anything. Just yesterday, the shop XB was running like total crap, even turned on the engine light (but didn't save a code). Turns out the wires on the right side of the battery (that are held by a little torx screw to the right side rail) were just a little loose. Tightened it up, runs like a champ. Ground problems suck, but I've learned to assume that ALL non-mechanical problems (i.e. not failed metal problems, but crappy running engine problems) are ground problems until proven otherwise. They're usually cheap and easy to fix! |
