But on the XB all 5 are actually used though.

I see, and how does the Buell hate that? Surely it'll have that affect on any bike, or do you mean it's more prine to it on this bike? Although, my...

I see that any XB Buell from 2009 till 2010 and the 2008 1125R Rotex engine version all use in the EBC brake pad model number of FA454/4HH. Thank...

FA345 is for the 6 piston Original ZTL caliper FA454/4 is for the 8 piston ZTL2 caliper, four pads per caliper as noted by the /4. ...

You forgot to add "In Idaho"... :D

Timely thread! I just got the '09 from the original post up and running last week. New exhaust gaskets, studs, nuts, intake seals, Time Sert rear...

I was kidding about your being CoOter (and trolling us). I don’t know why I didn’t run your files through megalogviewer. As soon as you...

The master is the high point in the system, so I'd try some bleeding there next. My normal technique is to pop the resi cap off, make sure the resi...
