I'm sure someone on here will be able to help. The wife and I were out riding today. Got about 100 miles in, when all hell broke loose. My bike 08 1125R started to lose power. I had to keep it tached around 4 grand to keep it moving. Check engine light came on, once I saw something on the display, SYS ERROR. I was about 8 miles from home and luckily made it back. Never had a problem with the bike ever before. I only have 4520 miles on it. Any ideas? | ||

Go into Diag Mode and check battery voltage or, use your multi-meter. After that try charging the battery. I have a feeling the battery has gone south but, it may be a comm error with the IC. | ||

Maybe your low fuel light stopped working and you ran out of gas.....it happened to me believe it or not LOL. | ||
| Jmr1283 |
see if u have any juice in the battery. its probably dead it sounds like ur charging system. alternator maybe | ||
| Mr_incognito |
Bikes dont have alternators, they have stators. | ||

A stator is one part of a whole alternator. +1 Ccryder (Message edited by unibear12r on June 25, 2009) | ||

Hmm, yeah there are stators (which are "stationary") and rotors (which "rotate") that when combined make an .......... alternator (see a pattern here????). This all has something to do with flux capacitors and such. Beyond this I'm lost ;+} Later Neil S. | ||

Well fooey. Dont listen to me. LOL. | ||
| Buzzman_45011 |
lol. I did put the bike on my Bike Tender when I got it back. I took it for a short ride and its working properly. I will take it to the dealer and let them put it on the computer to see what was going on in the next day or so. | ||

its a 08 1125r get used to it being at the dealer That's definitely true for my '08. My dealer has great coffee and I ride it there about every weekend to get a free cup! Wait!! You were insinuating for problems? Ooops! My bad. Isn't happening for me. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Mine has been running awesome with several track days, countless mountain runs & plenty of borin' old communting since my exhaust cams were replaced during the valve adjustment at the beginning of the year. | ||
| Tonedeath |
my dealer has good coffee also i need something to drink when i drive my truck to the dealer to see my lemon behind the service counter glass | ||

Raymond: I don't think that I've noticed this level of bitterness from you before. So what has your dealer found out with your 1125??? Just curious how this is coming along. Let's try and not hijack threads when we are trying to help a fellow rider with his problems. Thx Neil S. | ||
| Tonedeath |
my dealer has found out that most of the 1125rs they have sold have been a headache for the dealer im waiting on some buell reps to come down hopefully they will do a buy back the have found plenty wrong with my bike had it for 9 months 1900 miles and am not comfortable riding the bike further than the dealer in fear of breaking down the day i left the dealer i found myself on side the road due to a 10 amp fuse where there should have been a 30 amp since then been all down hill | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Punctuation-death... the period is your friend. So what are the chances you just have a lousy dealer who can't get it right and deflects by saying "all" the 1125r are bad. Think about it for a quick second. (Message edited by fresnobuell on June 25, 2009) | ||

its a 08 1125r get used to it being at the dealer Is this not an all inclusive statement regarding the 08s? | ||
| Tonedeath |
yea it is man im sorry guys its not all 08s just my piece. i know its not your fault and i shouldnt take it out on yall. Im just frustrated paying all that money for it to sit at the dealer. I will be leaving the buell brand after wanting a buell since i was little but after this 1125 i will be going back to a harley. no hard feelings.......................... calm down fresnobuell at least your all satisfied with your bikes i wish i could say the same i wish it would have worked out. | ||
| Ccryder |
Raymond: Thanks for the update. Let us know what happens. My 08' has 22,000+ miles in 15 months with a few of the nagging ECM, leaking clutch cover issues that some of us have had. All of these issues have been resolved 110%. Even with the "issues" you could not pry my hands from the bars! I ride it 150 s'miles a day with a SEG every mile. Time4Sleep Neil S. | ||

I will be leaving the buell brand... I have had this exact same feeling (three times, actually) and swore off Buells forever. I do not blame you one bit. I was even able to follow through with my threat, and I lasted almost five years before I caved and bought another... but it had problems too. Thankfully, the most recent Buell I bought has been perfect- I am extremely happy (but it took four tries). To make a long story short- you are not alone, you have every right to feel like you do, and you will most likely buy a Buell again in the future. That's the magic of family- you are always welcome at home. Best of luck. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
calm down fresnobuell Sorry, just don't like when someone has a bad experience (and I AM sorry you are having problems) and projects it as ALL 1125r's are inherently bad. In fact, the vast majority of 1125r's are working just fine and a very small percentage are acting up. It's just the the problem children get amplified hugely here. | ||

. I'm sorry, but that just struck my funny bone in the perfect spot...I can tell you a single character has never made me chuckle before! | ||

Fresnobuell, I have a theory your really Erik Buells mom. Breath deep. Logic over rules emotion.  | ||
| Dbird29 |
I heard all people's mortgages are in default.  | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Hey Boyd, go blow yourself. Your credibility is? Only a knob would come to a Buell website and choose Ducdood as a user id. IMO, with your vast number of posts here, content of said posts and user id you are a troll in training. Emotional enough for you? | ||
| Clbofaz |
Now, now. Keep this up and Mom's gonna get her shoes off. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGkNzbRDvKs | ||

Fres, 1. Blow myself? If only! That would be cool 2. Credibility? Phulease lol you lie, I have not lied. 3. Knob? So, everyone is a knob until they own one? In that case you do a poor job of selling because your don't speak honestly you bash people that have questions and concerns. If you were Buell I would not buy one. But I am here in hopes of getting one. Im just waiting for the 2010 rollout. If there are no changes or offerings don't fret I'll leave. I'm allergic to pods but would buy a Buell in a heart beat if it was sexed up. 5. Emotional enough, yeah that seems about your level. but I do want you to know I think your special, and I love you in a none sexual way. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
Ducdood, you sound like a half a dozen or so trolls that have floated thru here and left. Criticize Buell everywhere possible, claim to be the honest voice among all us kool aid drinkers & are a "soon-to-be-owner." You don't like the looks of the bike. Great! We know that already. Other than what you have gleaned from this forum, what other insight can you shed on the Buell 1125r? Thought so. |
