Blown fork seal in the Duc, and the Ninja has a phantom vacuum leak that keeps causing the the fuel tap to stay closed. |

That, as they say, is doo doo Mikel I'm launching Wed on my journey. I hope the gremlins stay away for my trek... http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/681 7/555162.html?1274534977 |

Bart. Have you had any leaking of fluids on your CR? There is talk about the water leaking on the right side of the bike, dripping down the motor. I went out and looked at my engine case, and sure enough, white streaks, coming from the leak hole areas.....REX |

REX, I haven't had any problems with my CR yet. When I first brought it home, it had a small seepage of oil from the stator cover where the wires go in, but that stopped by the time I had about 750 miles on the bike. With 4000 miles on the odo, the only issues i have is the mysterious rubber that has disappeared from the back tire, and the surging below 4000 RPM. I'm hoping an Erik Buell Racing ECM will resolve the surging... Did you finally get your disappearing oil issue resolved? Have you had the harness done yet? I haven't, I will wait until it fails. With the shop service we have in town, my attitude is: if it isn't broke, don't f@ck with it... |

Just took a look at mine... no signs of leak from the weep hole. |

I had the wiring harness done and the stator. I still cannot find oil, no matter what method i try. the dealer says it is full. I am thinking of getting the ECM. Sounds like it really works. REX |

My wife picked up one of these as an early Father's Day gift. Normally $89.99 marked down to $23.99. I know the Checker on Ray and McClintock had at least one left. The other locations may have more.

Don't know if you guys know it yet, but there is a photographer hanging out on the back road to Prescott. ( HWY 89 ) I went up there on Wednesday on the CR, and again on Friday on Debbies XB9, saw him taking pictures of me as I went by so I stopped and chatted with him. His website is: saltyfoto.com, if you go there, look on Friday the 28th, and you will see the orange Buell. He says he will be up there on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So if any of you guys want a decent picture of you, here is your chance.

Nice pic Bart! Ninja lives again, all the shims finally came in for the valves. Just need to synch the carbs, put the body work back on and go for a ride! |

Wycked, Glad to hear it, where was that pesky vacuum leak? I'm stuck at work the next 11 nights. May be able to ride either Sunday or Monday the 13th or 14th of june. Saturday the 12th a bunch of us are going tubing down the Salt River, I've got this huge 15' island that holds about 6 adults. CJ, it would seem all you need is a decent camera, and a good website to handle the volume of orders, to do this photography thing. Debbie thinks we should get in on something like this. it could be a lucrative form of income... |

Not a leak at all, but one of the lines got pinched shut. Wasn't able to pull enough vacuum to work the tap diaphragm. A little re-routing and it is all good. |

The paint on my S1 is blistering/bubbling. Is there a tank sealer to prevent this? Thanks, Tom |

No, that is typical of those model years. Back in the day, it was covered by warranty, not much you can do now... |

The website claims he will be there on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. He has a big, black truck, and it has his website graphics on the side. You won't miss him and his huge camera standing by it. he will be up on the Spars, just south of Prescott. turn around and do a couple of passes, that's what I did. (I'm such a ham) Wycked, are you up for a ride soon? I will probably be heading up to the spars on the 11th, and perhaps on the 13th. We are tubing the salt river on the 12th if anyone else is interested... |
