Hey ya'll, I just picked up my first Buell! It's a 2003 XB9r Firebolt with just 12,xxx miles on it! I gotta say this is the most fun bike I've ridden to date and couldn't be happier trading my 03 600rr for it. I received the parts list book and service manual with the bike, but did not get an Owners/User Manual. Does anyone have a link for a download or know a place to purchase one? As always, stay safe and keep riding. |

Good find. Mine's an '07, so I'm not much help, but others may chime in with things to look for in such a early low-mile bike. The drive belt and wheel bearings were updated in later bikes and might need it for yours. |

Needed the owners manual, which if anyone has one, I'd like a copy too. Since it is not available from Hardly on the web, a scanned PDF might be "legal". |

Thank you for posting the service manual s0dhi. I'm looking for the owners manual like Greg_e said. |

Sorry, Newyorkcoupe, I misread your message. |

I'm willing to bet he has them reprinted from a cleaned up scan or somehow obtained a PDF version. In other words, I highly doubt this is a real original manual. And at $50 I know I won't be finding out. |

Other than the maintenance record and the address change tear-out, the service manual has all you need in chapter one. It's certainly not worth (IMO) $50 unless you are a well-heeled collector. I paid $6 shipped in 2009, still in the shrink wrap from a fellow badwebber. |

You can still get them brand spanking new at a dealer for $20. |

Maybe. The part number (99475-03Y) seems good. Have you tried it? |
