I am no rookie when it comes to motorcycles. I am a motorcycle mechanic, and am pretty well versed in suspension theory and operation. I am confident that my damping settings aren't "way off". The harder I ride this thing, it seems that headshake is just an inherent characteristic of the chassis at high speeds. Settle down!!!! If you knew what you were talking about you would'nt be asking now would you? Just because your a "MECHANIC" does not mean you know the ins and outs of suspension dynamics. I have no problems with headshake at speed on the track or a smooth road, which the SR 87 is not so your inherent theory is no good in my opinion. Maybe next time you could tell us a little about yourself and possibly a little background in what you do for a living before jumping our case for trying to help you out. On a side note if you plan on running state highways at that speed you will most likely get headshake for the simple fact that the road is not smooth. Take that kind of speed to the track where the road conditions are more suitible for suspension assessment. Have a nice day!} | ||

Well, I dropped My 12R off at Chandler H-D Buell Yesterday for a miss at 3K RPM, Didn't look inside but last week when I was in the showroom all the Buells were on *SALE* 8500.00 or so. Hope they sell them all! We need more Buells out here! | ||
| M1combat |
What did they find out about the miss? | ||

Hey Buellers- If you're planning on attending the "Enchanted Twisties" factory BRAG rally in New Mexico this September, please go to www.santafeharley.com and follow the links to register. The cut-off to register and receive a t-shirt is August 28. You can register after that, but t-shirts will only be on a first-come, first serve basis. Hope to see you there. Murrae | ||

Any buellers from arizona going to the american sportbike bbq in buellton? rex buellv@gmail.com | ||
| Mesafirebolt |
They set the TPS, Blah Blah Blah...It did the same thing on the way home...I have learned to just shut it off, and restart it, sometimes it helps, could be electronics, could be intake seals, I'm not sure and TOO lazy to check! | ||

| Snottsdalebueller |
Hi Huey! Glad to see you're back. As much as I'd love to ride this Sat, I have plans already. I will be riding Sun morn and afternoon if you want. Let me know... K | ||
| Babyhuey |
I'm going up to prescott with some guys i meet over on the southwestrides site.If you want to go your more than welcome or I'm going over to the pavilions show that evening.See if you can make it to one of them so we can catch up.later  | ||
| Vince |
Long time, no post Andrew. Where's the meet up at for the ride tomorrow? Kelly and I went to SRC today. I should be free for a morning ride tomorrow. | ||
| Babyhuey |
Sorry i missed your post vince,I'll be at the pavilions tonight about 7pm if you feel like coming out and catching up. | ||

Anyone else go to the demo at Chandler H-D? It was a decent event. Everyone, including myself was there to sample the Ulysses. So I had to try out a Cityx and an XB9R, while I waited for my turn on the U. Got 20% off some parts and merchandise too. The U was easy to ride and I'm sure would comfortable for a long haul, but the demo circuit was too short to really tell. I kinda forgot how crouched over the XB9R was. I will have to say my XB12SS is the best compromise for the street. (Still, wish I could have one of each XB, though.) | ||
| Vince |
Hey Kelly, did you get the SRC pics developed? And, you riding this Friday, or anytime this weekend? | ||
| Babyhuey |
whats up guys? signing in for the first time in a while,lifes just been crazy. Just want to let everyone know that i'm back working at the Buell dealer again but in the parts department this time.if anyone needs anything or just has any questions on anything just call me and i'll do my best to get you an answer or the best deal on parts i can.Anybody interested in getting a ride together in the next couple of weeks or even maybe a trackday.I think myself,jeremy,my neighbor with his supermoto,and maybe a couple of guys from work are going to do one in december.now that i'm back at the store i want to try and get the club active again so any suggestions would be great.later-andrew  | ||
| Darktwin79 |
Although I no longer own a Buell I plan on supporting the club in every way I possibly can. Good to hear your back over there Andrew | ||
| Hunleycrew |
I'd be game for a ride coming up soon-- Closer to Thanksgiving I have time off of work. I'm more or less new here (got a job here in August). Any suggestions on roads in the NW valley area? | ||
| Babyhuey |
THERE'S NOT REALLY ANY ROADS WORTH RIDING IN THE VALLEY,YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE VALLEY AND HEAD NORTH OR SOUTH.I'D LIKE TO PUT A RUN TOGETHER OUT TO THE SALT RIVER AND UP AND OVER TO PAYSON WITH A FUN BLAST BACK DOWN THE 87.WE'LL HAVE TO DO IT PRETTY SOON BEFORE WE GET DONE WITH THE PERFECT RIDING WEATHER AND HAVE TO WEAR TO MUCH GEAR.HOW ABOUT A TRACKDAY? | ||
| Toomanytoys |
I'm in Phoenix as well. Would love to get a ride together. Andrew, that sounds like a good ride. Let's get it put together. December sounds fine. Keep us posted. | ||
| M1combat |
Just did the trackday on Sunday... I'm up for another one... | ||
| Babyhuey |
lets see how many other people chime in and we'll pick a date that works for everyone and a route that we're all happy with. if we get enough people together for a trackday i might be able to a discount from one the organizations. | ||
| Mesafirebolt |
I'm up for a ride! The proposed rout sounds good to me. WHere would we meet up? Time? | ||
| Babyhuey |
how about nov 11th at 7a.m. meet at the gas station on signal butte just off the 60 and we'll run the route above.if anyone has any issues with that speak up and we can try to make changes to suit everyone. | ||
| Vince |
The 11th works for me. I'm gonna hit the flats this Friday morning if anyone wants to go. Anyone going to the M/C show at the Cardinals Stadium?? I'll be there doing as many demo rides as I can. | ||
| Babyhuey |
I DON'T THINK I'LL BE GOING TO THE SHOW,LACK OF FUNDS RIGHT NOW. HOW ELSE WANTS TO GO ON THE RIDE/TRACK DAYS?I'LL CALL ROB DESHLER SINCE HE DOESN'T COME ON THE BADWEB. | ||
| Vince |
I got tickets for $6 each at t&c. Metro and YSA should have tickets for $6 too. parking is free. Reg price is $12. I'm going to check out the demos. Buell, H-D, Yamaha/Star, Piaggo (scooters?). Hopefully, I won't be the only Buell in the parking lot. | ||
| Wolf102 |
if you guys want a sweet bike ride head to southern wisconsin. its beautiful hear and the twisties are exellent not to mention the buell factory in east troy. i feel bad for those that have only rode in arizona. after riding up here my buell will never see arizona or that half of the country again. i will post pics next spring and you will understand why i love it up here (Message edited by wolf102 on November 02, 2006) |
