I'm considering buying a 2008 XB12XT.  Did some research and it seems that there is an idoling issue with them.  Is this true?  Is it an easy fix?

They have no such issue. It has been tough in the past to tune 2008-2010 buells, but this issue has been fixed. Get the bike, you'll love it!

I am still having a problem with the idle on my 2010 taking it to the dealer soon to see if they can figure it out.

You are right there is a problem....I just got my 08 XB12X and have been "idol"izing it right from day one.

Just kidding with you, I have not had any idling problems.  Get the bike!

some bikes do some don't. I am sure there is a way to fix it. but nobody knows how yet in the 2008-2010 bikes and the harley shops don't work on them much. So they blow you off I have some ideas but I will wait till I am out of warranty.....like the poster said he has did some research and he noticed the problem.... So it is not in our heads.
