Hello from Seattle

[sono]

Just bought a new to me 2008 XB12XT! First Buell that I've owned and have always liked the styling... I see that the Service Manual link is not active here... anyone have an active link that they could forward me?

It's been sitting a while and shakes like crazy in idle and anything below 1500rpms. Once above that, it's pretty smooth. I've dumped a can of Seafoam in there and filled it with 92 gas... hopefully that smooths it out. The yellow maintenance light is on too... hence the need for the service manual.

I'll post pics soon. Thanks!

Thanks for the invite, but unfortunately I can't do it today.

About 5-7 of us go to the Oyster Run every year. A couple Road Kings, some metrics, a BMW, aConnie... We leave from my buddies house early in Mukilteo and catch the ferry over to Whidbey. If any stragglers would like to join us, shoot me a PM and I'll give you the details.
