I HAVE AN O4 XB12S. ABOUT 1 OR 2 WEEKS AGO IT STARTED NOT UP SHIFTING OR DOWN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR. IF I WAS SHIFTING UP THE SHIFTER WOULDN'T MOVE IF I WAS AT 2500 RPM. IF I WAS ABOVE THAT IT WOULD GO IN. IT MAINLY DOES THIS WHEN I AM JUST CRUISING. IF I AM GOING THROUGH THE GEARS QUICKLY I WOULD NOT DO THIS. IF I WAS SLOWING DOWN AND WENT TO THIRD IT WOULD ALSO NOT MOVE. IN EITHER SITUATION I COULD USUALLY DOUBLE CLUTCH IT OR JUST WAIT A SECOND AND TRY AGAIN AND IT USUALLY GOES INTO GEAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ON TUESDAY AND GOT IT BACK LAST NIGHT. WENT FOR A RIDE AND STILL DOES IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY ADJUSTED THE CLUTCH AND THE PRIMARY CHAIN AND IT SEEMED TO STOP. ON THEIR BEHALF IT RAINED THE DAY I TOOK IT IN SO THEY TESTED IT ON THE DYNO. I WAS A LITTLE WORRIED THEY WOULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM THIS WAY BUT THEY SAID THEY DID. IT WAS THERE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND A 15,OOO MILE SERVICE. I PLAN ON TAKING IT BACK JUST WANTED SOME INFO IF ANYONE HAS ANY. BIKE RUNS FLAWLESS OTHER THAN THIS. COULD'NT BE HAPPIER. | ||

My 04 XB12S is in the shop right now for a broken clutch cable caused by "something that broke off in my primary case". This happened at 8000 miles and will be warrantied work, but it happened while I was on a business trip in AR and I was essentially stranded for two weeks due to no Buell support in AR that I could find. I still love my Buell in spite of everything. My bike felt the same right before it broke and once before my trip but the dealer told me I was OK. WT | ||

this may be a bit off topic, but something is VERY WRONG with a service dept that fails to road test a repair "because it was raining" what kind of crap is that? find a new repair shop. | ||

thanks for the input. the dealer i went to owns the two dealerships closest to me. there are two others close and one of them i here has a not so good reputation. i will now try the other. |
