Author Message   Anonymous Posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 04:07 pm:        Invalid "Anonymous" post by Ironhead1977 I would rather have the 9 engine due to less heat and vibration (Message edited by blake on September 22, 2011)   Reepicheep Posted on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 - 07:53 pm:        Luso, can you double check your VIN? I don't think what you posted is correct.... Thanks!   Luso Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 - 07:26 am:        My bad,the first digit that i gave (1) is not correct. Corrected VIN 4MZDX03D673700217. Sorry about that,was reading it from the registration.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 - 08:56 am:        Thanks, that solves one problem. But the last four digits look odd relative to your build date as well... are those right also?   Luso Posted on Thursday, September 22, 2011 - 09:25 am:        Ooops.........built date July 2006.   Gamdh Posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 06:56 pm:        Just noticed your collecting 2006 model data.... 2006 Build : 12/2005 Vin : 4MZDX03D363702232 Miles : 67,343 Crank : okay   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 08:34 pm:        Duely logged. You da man too!   Ironhead1977 Posted on Friday, September 23, 2011 - 08:48 pm:        Blake, I was posting from my phone and I guess I hit the Anonymous button.   Anonymous Posted on Saturday, September 24, 2011 - 09:57 am:        ""Blake, I was posting from my phone and I guess I hit the Anonymous button."" No Soup For You! ... Next! PS...this is not Johnboy777 .   Reepicheep Posted on Saturday, September 24, 2011 - 10:34 am:        Thanks Luso, fixed!   Djohnk Posted on Saturday, September 24, 2011 - 07:34 pm:        I plotted mileage vs good or bad for 2007 model year only: http://bit.ly/nTGO2r Looks like after 20K miles its a crap shoot, could go at any time, or maybe last to 100K like Dirt.   Reepicheep Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2011 - 10:34 am:        Updated with another solid runner 100k+ 2006 Uly...   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, February 03, 2012 - 10:36 am:        Bumping this thread. I have my rear jug off right now, and felt for any play in the crank, and there is none. FWIW. I'm at about 23k I think.   Rdkingryder Posted on Thursday, April 26, 2012 - 10:06 pm:        Reep, maybe I can be pulled off the list? Since I no longer have a bad crank?   Mr_hyde Posted on Sunday, May 06, 2012 - 10:55 am:        07 Uly 18000 mi, started making a rhythmic bearing rubbing sorta noise so I pulled motor and split cases looking for cause, found nothing obvious so freshened up top end (there were some signs of piston scoring in the bores which I assume is due to inadequate warm up occasionally,my fault). Reassembled, same noise Argggg. At this point I vowed to ignore odd noises till they manifested into damage which they shortly did, front big end rod bearing gone.It just wasn't bad enough when I disassembled to feel by hand. I put in a used motor from buellster parts and plan to rebuild original motor with rebuilt crank or possibly a new style crank (08 and up).   Rdkingryder Posted on Sunday, May 06, 2012 - 11:44 am:        MH, I know how you feel. I still have a few small issues after I replaced my crank. Seems the transmission has some weird shifting issues it didn't have before. Not sure why. Also changed the oil and noticed some fine particles in it suspended. Not sure if it's from residue of the old crank or something new. Like everyone else, I just want to ride my bike not work on it.   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 - 11:00 pm:        Moved this thread to the knowledge vault. Mr_hyde, can you share your VIN, or at least build date, for our confirmed failure list? Thanks!   Spikey Posted on Friday, March 08, 2013 - 04:59 pm:        Update, 10,000 miles no issues, running Amsoil changed every 5000 miles   Reepicheep Posted on Monday, March 11, 2013 - 08:45 am:        All updates made, thanks!   Luso Posted on Monday, March 11, 2013 - 03:41 pm:        Update,38000 miles no issues.   Reepicheep Posted on Monday, March 11, 2013 - 04:51 pm:        Thanks!   Djohnk Posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 10:34 pm:        update: djohnk: 57000 miles no issues   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 08:28 am:        Logged. Nice!   Beached Posted on Friday, July 19, 2013 - 09:12 am:        Beached Update 60000 miles, no issues   Reepicheep Posted on Friday, July 19, 2013 - 03:14 pm:        Logged, thanks! Awesome, a "old timer" near my VIN.   Luso Posted on Sunday, August 18, 2013 - 11:15 am:        Update. ..45000 no issues.   Hughlysses Posted on Thursday, September 05, 2013 - 08:30 am:        Interesting- first case of a failed 07 XB9 crank I've seen: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/21/ 720429.html?1377912034 Guy is looking for engine or parts to rebuild his XB9SX with failed rear rod crank bearing.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, September 05, 2013 - 11:48 am:        The 9's certainly seem easier on the cranks. But cranks go on all kinds of bikes (I have a used one from a KX-80 I'll give you a *great* deal on ). Worth watching though...   Motorfish Posted on Saturday, September 14, 2013 - 11:27 pm:        My `06 Uly failed over a year ago, oil pump drive gear destroyed, and it was the "better" one. Crank was .015, not acceptable. I was not going to just replace the gear, as it would of happened again. Installed `08 crank, and bearings from Dark Horse. Build date: 12/05 Miles: 17K   Reepicheep Posted on Sunday, September 15, 2013 - 01:24 am:        Would you mind sharing the VIN Motorfish?
