Honestly, I got tired of server updates and having to roll-back python (java? sql? Hell I forget what it was) versions for vBulletin to stay operational.

:applause:
I re-read what I had typed, after I hit "Post" and thought, "f it, it'll get some giggles." :D
I haven't said anything else, because it would just be repeating what y'all're sayin', but then I thought about this...
It could be a clogged petcock. It's an easy test, but tastes horrible.
...
Come around now and again, drop some wisdom, then disappear for a good long while. lmao
Stock Blast carb does not have a drain screw.
If you run a wider pulley on the front, you need a custom pulley on the back to keep the belt straight.
I have custom front pulleys. I've been there and done that and spent ungodly amounts of...
I've never had issues installing James intake gaskets in-frame. I do have spindly fingers, though, which makes it a lot easier.
They're generally larger-than-ideal diameter.
If you go 1.75"Ø, then you're seriously sacrificing low-end performance, which you're already hurting by putting on a straight-thru muffler.
If you...
If you want quiet, you gotta go stock. Anything aftermarket is going to be a bit loud.
If you insist on DIY, a 3-4" Supertrapp muffler (w/ 18+ discs) and a Jardine header should all bolt together....
Tachometers are pointless unless needing to diagnose a running condition, but even then you can still derive RPM from MPH.
Check your voltage regulator for too much output. When it gets over 15v output, parts of the speedometer stop working.
I've had California's E10 fuel sit in my carbs for years and not look like that. I don't think ethanol is to blame.
Something is causing a chemical reaction for sure, though. Clean everything out...
They can break, the wires can break, they can be set improperly. Open it up and test it.
Putting a v-twin in a Blast requires modifying the frame/oil-reservoir. If you're going to put that much effort into it, build something else, honestly.
I heard my name. It's been a week or two, but here I am. lol
Diggin' the comparison to an old MGB. I actually have a Blast engine in an XB frame and used to own a 65 MGB roadster.
And yes,...
That's me. I locked down BuellRidersOnline, I'm just tired of fighting bots and spam. Almost everything possible has been documented there, including turbo builds, if you use the built-in Google...
It's actually not that difficult of a timeline to follow:
LAP bought EBR when it went into receivership.
LAP ran EBR this whole time, it was never shut down.
LAP/EBR bought rights to the Buell...
I use calibrated fingers for tensioning the primary. Loosen that bolt until it damn-near falls out. Start turning it in with bare fingers until you feel it get constant tension. Back out until the...
I just wanted to clarify this part. An "alternator" is an assembly of the stator, rotor, rectifier, and regulator. In regards to motorcycles, we refer to these individual components because they are...
lol, a Shady Shrader product.
Good luck.
Don't use the tune.
That's a 3.709" bore. Seems silly to go through the effort of case boring for a non-standard size bore and custom piston....
I don't have anything to add to what Cooter and 3419 have said.
I do appreciate the kind words.
I will answer questions and help with anything I can, even EFI conversion (not cheap nor easy)....
LAP bought rights to the Buell name as well.
I lane split, for quite a many years, in Cali. I've been sideswiped twice (went down first time, second time stayed up) but never a door opened on me. Study has shown accidents from lane splitting...
The story of the dumpster is relatively common knowledge, factory test bikes and in-process builds were dumped rather than spend time (time=money) on finishing them. Fire sale the finished inventory,...
Erik didn't dislike the Blast, he actually said he enjoyed it for what it was, in other interviews and videos. He hated that it became the symbol of Buell, instead of the sportbikes like he had...
