Jim_sp and MikeJ, I put the lower XB9S footpegs on my XB9R and they fit great and I've yet to touch one down.  | ||

What happened to the classified ad section? I'm going to feel real stupid if you guys tell me it's still there and I just can't find it...Bill | ||

I joined BRAG today! I am now an official member!  Just wanted to share! | ||
| Bronzed |
has anyone ever put a tach on a buell blast? If so, do you remember how to do it? Thanks | ||
| Ezblast |
I have little mini - Thunder electronic tachs on mine - there is a very slight lag - if your using them for serious stuff - Aaron mentioned that with the programable ignition you could run a tach for any twin if you set it to twin mode and set the second hit 180 deg away - second timing cup hole - no problems there - however, you would loose the auto enrichner function and would have to set up a choke or manually keep the bike at a mildly high idle for a few minutes for warm up. - Got Thump?!

I just saw this pic on the Dutch Buell site.  | ||

Looks like a cross between an X1, a V-rod, and a Gurney Gator, and an accident waiting to happen. Curved truss members? | ||

I have got an electric tach, and when I hook it up she reads only half of what the actuall engine speed is, unless she red lines at 3200rpm! | ||
| Blake |
If you would fill in your profile info, at least the bike model/year part, we might be able to advise you as to why that is. | ||
| Blake |
My guess is that you bought a tach designed to work with a dual spark ignition but have a bike with a single spark ignition. All DDFI Buells are single spark, and the Blast is single spark, if you fitted a tach designed to work with carbureted Buell twins or Harleys, it will report rpm/2. | ||

Blake, I fitted a Tachometer meant for a X1 on my M2 and it worked just fine. | ||

Hey, I was up in Park Rapids, MN over the week and saw a 9R parked outside an auto parts store. When I came back to find out who it was it was gone. Anyone know who it might have been? I'll look them up next time I'm up there. | ||

Similar question. Chino Valley, AZ on Hwy 89. I was coming into town about 5 pm Thursday. Saw a Red S2 (3?) headed south. ??? Greg | ||
| Blake |
Yeah, got the tire, thanks much! Was it the factory tach? They don't use inductive pickups. I assumed he was talking about an aftermarket inductive type tach. Or maybe I just don't know what the heck I'm talking about. LOL. Wouldn't be the first time. | ||
| Bartimus |
Any of the AZ riders familiar with hwy 188 from Globe to hwy 260 through Willow, Aztec Lodge, and Young? | ||
| Ray_maines |
I think maybe I've got this tachometer business all bass ackwards. I had a carbureted bike and fitted a FI type Tach., not the other way around. So just disregard everything I ever said. I mean, like, you know, really. Or maybe my M2 spun up to 13,600 rpm. What do I know. I mean, really. | ||

New "98 through 2003 Buells for sale, I strolled through Wieblers ,Davenport IA yesterday. They have a S1W'98,and a whole bunch of other tube frame Buells ,if anyone is interested.They are all around $8300 | ||
| Jst |

So I put a .030 Screaming Eagle pistons, new thunderstorm heads and the engine did not work right. I did every thing to spec but the head, and the cylinder will not seal? Look for easy answers...1996 Buell S2 | ||
| Aaron |
Do they make a Screaming Eagle piston that' compatible with a Thunderstorm head? i.e. 15 degree dome? | ||

Anyone ?? , Chain conversion happening here on a race S1 , ...... work with me on this .....please ?? ... I seldom ask questions and NEVER whine ( much ) , I have not done a chain swap till now , .......so'oooooo how much slack is needed , ....oh ya ,it's got a steel swing arm still ( I talked the owner out of using the 99 cast one he wanted put on for this ) , and it has the latest shock on it too . | ||

Hoser, About 1" slack on the bottom run. Too little slack and the suspension won't work properly and it's hard on the isolators. Greg | ||
| Hoser |
OK that's a start , ....... but is the slack to be measured unladen , or with rider seated ?. Many of the race Buells I have looked at and photographed have quite a lot of droop in the chain when at rest in the pit , propped up on a stand . Also the chain lays on the top of the swingarm mounting block when the bike is unladen , it is currently fitted with a 23/48 sprocket combination , I'm thinkin a 24 or 25 would be more appropriate front ,and would need to be mated to a larger rear. We ( the owner and I )have discussed gearing selection and having a variety of choices on hand , this coming weekend the bike will be raced in Edmonton , which has a very nice new track , short and technical , well suited to a Buell. Our goal is to learn , evaluate and make adjustments , more or less work on development , not arrive with the intent to win. |
