Guys,
XB's don't have stand switches unless 08 model or later. Dave - check out page B25 at the back of the manual - only clutch and nuetral switches in the starting circuit.
Shine: Sounds like...
Got to say I agree with you Dave. Never got on with mine....bike always felt edgy, unstable at speed and never really settled in the twisties. Stuck some Dunlop GP racers on it......absolutely...

Change one thing at a time and keep a log of what you've done and how it feels. You will soon get to know what does what. Try to test out changes on the same bit of road each time. Make sure...

LeFox,
I went from PP2ct's to Dunlop GP racers and have been well impressed. I must admit I always found the Pilot Powers a little skittish but the Dunlops are rock solid with awesome feedback. I...
Not sure....I'm in the UK :p
I had a quick look on their web-site and they don't mention a US distributor, but they do mail order themselves. I know Matt at Trojan Horse (Adrenalin Moto) ships a...

Hi,
I use Royal Purple 20w-50 as Engine, 10w-30 as primary. This was recommended on the RP website.
There are a few old threads on this:
Have a look here

From an engineering point of view, I think the design is flawed. Buell do not fit tensioner wheels, they fit fixed Jockey wheels. They are designed to keep the belt under constant tension and whilst...
Hi Driftingswiftly,
Simply quoting the service manual...........

the front brake rotor. Contact could push rotor out of ...
Don't be so sure.
XB wheel bearings can last little more than 5K miles and have been known to fail after much less. Steering head bearings are much the same. If the bike has been wheelied a lot in...

Thanks Steven - I really must learn how to use that search thingy :)
I had a couple of spare hours last weekend and thought I would change plugs to some new Iridium ones that I bought a month or so ago. After spending half an hour taking various bits off the bike, I...
