Does anyone run Redline Light weight "Shockproof" oil in their Buell XB transmissions? This is the stuff that looks like Peptobismol.
I have a 2010 Buell XB12ss with 15,000 miles on the clock, I decide to check the primary chain tension and there was 1 inch of slack. The spec is 3/8 to 1/2 inch. It was adjusted last time by the...
Has anyone had this problem? Changed my oil last week and the threads pulled out on the swingarm drain hole. I have 15K on my XB12ss (2010) and change my oil every 2,500 mi. I always torque below...
Bike has 13k on the clock. Just installed new stock plugs thinking it would clear up the problem. No improvement. Bike stumbles (surges) below 3,000 rpm. Historically, it did this on cold days. It...
I checked the NGK site and they recommend the DCPR8EIX plug and not the DCPR9EIX that the user group recommends. What is the difference between them?
I suspect one is hotter, but not sure which...
06xbss,
Thanks for your response. No, I have not done a breather re-route. this is thee first time I heard of it. How is this done?
Best,

I have a 2010 XB12ss with nearly 13K miles. The bike seems to stumble alot at low rpm's (below 2,500). Is it time for plugs? Any recommendation would be approciated.
The noise coming from my 1125CR was caused by a failed drive belt tensioner wheel bearing. I have 11K on her. Has anyone one else had a failure?
2009 1125Cr w/11K miles. Bike (not engine) makes screeching noises when in motion about 50% of the time (comes and goes). Sounds like a dry worn out wheel bearing. Can get really loud. My guess is...
My 1125CR has just under 11K miles. When I brake hard at freeway speed the front wheel vibrates as I increase the bake pressure and I can feel it in the brake lever. The dealer checked the rotor...

I have a 2009 1125CR with 10,850 miles on it. Live in Santa Rosa, Ca.
I heard from my dealer that in order to change the plugs on the 1125CR you have to drop or rotate the engine from the frame. Is this true? I also heard that there is a procedure whereby you can...
Oakland H-D's preliminary findings is that the VR is malfunctioning and creating voltage spikes up to 17 volts. These spikes are causing the instrument cluster to shut off to avoid further damage....
The battery is less than 2 months old. It checked out fine as did the charging system. I plan to take a digital image of the instrument cluster display when it fails again.
I am glad I purchased...
2009 1125CR, 10350 mi. Help? During the first 5 minutes of riding most of the instrument cluster goes dead. All the cluster lights go out and the turn-signals stop working. The display reads "SYSTEM...
Great ideas! I will try it. It may not quite if I add throttle after it starts. As you said this will keep the plugs from fouling. Thanks!!
My bike is in the garage and I live in California. Our winter temps are nothing like some of you other owners experience in other parts of the country. The engine turns over fine. It just stalls...
2009 1125CR: When temps drop to low 30 deg. F. the bike starts momentarily then quits. Repeated attempts fail. I smell fuel and it appears to be flooded. If I let it set for 5 minutes and go back I...
I got a 2009 1125CR Black with 10,000 miles. Santa Rosa, Ca
Form does not always follow function. If this is true we would all wear helmets that mimic the consistency of skin over our skulls. Studies have shown that this type of helmet is best at reducing...
zdawq123: To keep the engine as cool as possible two things are required. A paint that has high emissivity and a high surface area. The best candidates which meet this requirement are crinkled black...
zdawq123: Not sure what the secret is, but I know excessive engine temperature leads to reduced longevity. The motor was broke-in by the previous owner using the Calsci Method. I run AMSOIL 20W-50....
Mike Van V: Thanks for helping me better understand the problem. I recently purchased a new Mosfet VR. I was told that the OEM shunt type VR causes the stator to heat up more. Do you think this will...
I am new to the website and am trying to catch up on the technical problems riders are experiencing with their 1125CR. My bike has a race ECM with a Barker exhaust. It runs both richer and cooler and...
