So... Long story short, I had a shop diagnose and work on a problem I have had with my XB for some time. The jury is still out on if they fixed the problem, but (the good news) on the ride home, it did seem to be running better.
However, (the bad news) the bike seems to have picked up a few new "quirks." The starter will not work without pulling the clutch, even in neutral... Not the end of the world, but I find myself wondering why this changed. I will look into the clutch lever sensor later.
Next, every time I pull my clutch lever, the neutral light comes on, regardless of what gear I am in. Anybody got any thoughts on this?
Now, the worse news. When I picked up my bike, my license plate was broken off and sitting on the seat. They said that when their tech got off the bike after the test ride, he caught his leg on it and it busted off. The license plate had been bashed around, and bent before, so I was not all that concerned about this.
I next noticed that the seat was not quite straight, but I did not mention anything about it at that time. When I got home, I gave the bike a good once over, and found that my center tail section was completely broken. It is broken right where the left sub frame rail bolts to it. I am going to take my bike back to talk with the guy tomorrow, but I am reaching out to see if there are any on the forum for sale. I found one new on buellsterparts.com for $125, but they are out of stock. I have not looked at New Castle HD as I have not found the part number yet, but I will look into that soon as well.
Anybody got one laying around?
