Author Message   Vtwinbuell Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 08:43 pm:        Can you believe this. Four months ago I bought the greatest bike I could ever imagine and then some. I have enjoyed every mile I put on the back tire, and even the ones on the front. Of all the things that could go wrong on a bike putting out over 120 hp at the rear wheel and torque to spare a light bulb went out, yeah that's right, the tail light burned out. I actually had someone pull up next to me at a stop light and tell me about it. To top it all off Buell even included the screw driver needed to replace the bulb!!!   Vosnick52 Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 08:49 pm:        Replace it and go on. Not every manufacture is perfect. Do you love the bike? If you do replace and ride safe   Vtwinbuell Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 08:56 pm:        I wouldn't think of doing anything else.   Geforce Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 08:56 pm:        Man...I'd claim lemon law on that thing ASAP!   Vtwinbuell Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 08:58 pm:        Someone got it, I'm tired of seeing all the whining on here.   Poppinsexz Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 08:59 pm:        You must file suit.   Moosestang Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 09:16 pm:        Stupid antiquated filament style light bulbs! I have a spare from my xb, so I'm good.   Mrbikle Posted on Monday, November 09, 2009 - 09:56 pm:        i second the lawsuit   Justa4banger Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 05:55 pm:        File a report with the NTSHA.... thats a serious safety problem... While your at it, sue Buell for its poor choice of parts and the bulb manufacturer for poor quality product.... THEN go after the dealership for not being able to forsee this problem and not changing the bulb before you got it...... LASTLY... change the bulb yourself and get to riding   Xbud Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 06:51 pm:        So are you going to file a warranty claim on this?   Whynot Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 08:14 pm:        I can relate, had a lo beam burn out, I wasted 30 seconds searching eBay for H8 bulbs, had to wait three days for them to come in, and then had to put in two minutes getting the durned fairing off. If anything else goes wrong, I'm going to trade for an XR1200 I think.   Barker Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 09:14 pm:        Buells are junk, thats why they went out of business.   Slypiranna Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 09:21 pm:        squid thread, sorry I intruded......I'll leave now! LOL!   Rah7777777 Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 10:40 pm:        Easy fix! Go LED!   Froggy Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 10:41 pm:        WTF, my tailight burned out at 5000, I see a trend here. RECALL!!!!!   Vtwinbuell Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 11:02 pm:        I saw your thread Froggy, I mean come on, they only sold like twenty some thousand bikes in the past two years. Two tail lights is really showing a trend.   Vtwinbuell Posted on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 - 11:03 pm:        I forgot to knock on wood when I posted the chrome 1157. That must have been it!
