Check your multi-pin connection at the speedometer. If it was a bad speed sensor, it should set a DTC and illuminate the MIL. It sounds like a poor connection between the ECU and the speedometer...

How much peace of mind do you want and what are your mechanical / technical abilities? If you are going to do all your maintenance and repair(s), you may want to save the money. Even then, if...
No. I have seen this happen on dozens of Buells, as well as other brands. The ECU momentarily misses an input signal and triggers the MIL. You did the right thing; turn it off, wait a few seconds,...
Midlife - The article can be found on the Buell website. Buell.com > News & Events > Buell in the news > third article down. Check out my rear tire and tell me Buells won't corner. This is a...
The TPS is most of your "tune up". The ECU has to know exactly where the throtlle is for it to send out the proper commands. You can do it yourself as often as you like if you buy the VDSTS...
The Buell XB outperforms pretty much anything in the corner. It does help to know how to ride though.
Put your Jardine on, leave the stock air filter in, ride to the dealership, install the race ECU and air filter in the parking lot, and have the shop reset the TPS. Ride out a happy camper and be...
I would not install the ECU and expect to ride it to the dealership unless it is within pushing distance. The new ECU has no idea where the actual throttle position is until you reset the TPS. The...
jgxb9r - "i still dont know what the other one does" -- The Techlusion, Power Commander, Vance & Hines, or any other aftermarket recalibration kit simply modifies the existing fuel and/or ignition...
The Direct Link software is an excellent tool to remap your stock ECU IF you know what you're doing OR have access to a modified fuel map for your configuration of exhaust system and intake. I use...
The Buell race ECU is real good, as is the Direct Link software to remap your existing ECU. If you're simply looking for easy bolt-on horsepower and torque improvements, buy the Buell ECU and K&N...
Changing both cavities at the same time is a good idea. Check primary chain at oil change and adjust as necessary. Clutch - same thing. Spark plugs? As needed, although I replace mine at 5,000...
Royal Purple CycleMax 20W50 works very well in all cavities.
2.5 qts in the engine with filter, 1 qt in the primary-transmission
"Both holes" or "all cavities" means the engine oil and transmission - primary oil. You have an XB9, right? Engine oil change is drained from the swingarm oil tank and also filled there. The...
Royal Purple Cycle Max 20W50 is the one. Good stuff!
Wow is right! My life is simple. I use automotive oil in my autos and motorcycle oil in motorcycles. Syn-3 is good for all cavities, as well as Royal Purple Cycle Max - 20W50. Best advice is to...
tbramich - That's not true for all wreck damage involving a frame. I work in the industry and know of several bikes that have had damage to the frame and it was replaced as part of the repair. One...
mezap ... thanks for the compliment. :)
Hey Seizer - you did right by filling the filter before putting it on. 80%-85% of all engine wear occurs at start up due to oil starvation - don't prolong it by installing a dry filter. Your oil...
How much and what area are you in?
WOW!! Bench racing at its finest. Reality is as simple as math and purely dichotomous - right or wrong. Fact: maximum engine rpm (the speed where it hits the rev limiter) divided by primary ratio...
Leathercash -- use nothing but premium high octane fuel in your engine. Higher octane fuels burn slower than lower octane. Lower octane fuels burn extremely fast and create abnormally high cylinder...
