Hi guys, This is my first post here. I just picked up my new XR1200 last Saturday. I know this isnt the right forum for me as such, but i am on the hunt for information anywhere i can get it. I am looking at doing some pretty serious mods to the motor as soon as i can find my way around the bike. First the EFI needs sorting out and i was wondering if anyone can help in that respect.(so i can junk the pipes and filter, and set myself up for future engine mods) Also this is my first injected bike, so be gentle with me. Also i am thinking that this thing is pretty closely related to the XB12 engine, but am not totally sure how closely, so again if any of you folks have any info on that that would help to. Any help/info is much appreciated. PS. please excuse me butting in on your Buell forum, but i need to gather as much info as i can on this engine.

If I could get the XR1200 parts book, I could tell you most of the, but they don't sell them here in the states.

harley did a lot of the same things to the xr engine as buell did to their 12, they are a similar design, but not identical. what problems are you having and what type of mods are you trying to do?

always the best way to get the efi right is mapping the ecm to your mods. if you want to understand the engine, i would suggest getting the service manual.

Any pricing info on the u.s. model? I really wanted the xr1200 and thought it was not comming to the u.s. So I was waiting for the 09 Buell info. You don't have any specs on the 09 model Buell? Preferably the xb12ss.

All specs will be available online.  They release the 2009 new models on July 22nd.  The 2009 V-Rods, Sportsters, and Buell Blast models have already been released.  I do not have any specs on them as of yet, but I will post them as soon as I find something out.  The only thing I have on the ones that have been released is the hard parts books.  I know that the Blast is unchanged.  There are lots of new parts on the XR1200.  I am excited to see one!!!! www.buell.com and www.harleydavidson.com

Thanks for the info. My local Harley /Buell guy will be in Vegas on the 22nd and is supposed to call as soon as he has the new model info. I just thought you may know more since you found out that the xr1200 is coming to America. Wait it's already in America just not sold here.. I hope I'm not waiting around for nothing on the Buell. But I would kick my self if there are changes to the new model and I didn't wait. And now I have to decide between the XR1200 and the Buell. decisions decisions.

I may have jumped the gun guys.  We will see on the 22nd what is really happening for sure.  In typical Harley fashion, don't get your hopes up.  Hope for some big changes on the Buells.  Cross your fingers
