Very nice looking XT. Congratulations and enjoy it!
Just a side note and FYI... when welding the bell crank onto the Dorman unit be sure to use a stainless steel welder/welding rod. The bell crank and Dorman unit are both stainless steel.
This...
Thanks but I ordered up a new unit and it's been installed.
She's running perfectly like she should thanks to everyone's help!
No offense taken. I really appreciate all the help on this.
34:19 - That’s too funny!
Cooter, They actually printed on the module - Do not rotate by hand.
But that’s great advice as I guess it’s not obvious to everyone so they had to add a warning...

The Pikes Peak Project that they actually raced looks absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much sir. That makes entire sense. Appreciate it.
So I've got a quick question... How important is the position of the bell crank on the new Dorman unit? I plugged it in and let it cycle like Starman suggested. It did move to a "home" position.

Buellmods.com should have what you're looking for.
Thank you Starman. I will do that.
Part should arrive later today so hoping to get it all squared up in a few days.
Thank you once again Barrett for all the links and advice. I will be ordering up the Dorman part.
I appreciate everyone's input here. I'll reach out if I run into any problems along the way.
Thank you Barrett for the step by step guide.
I did all of the above. For good measure I changed the fuse after checking it. The old one was replaced a while ago but to be 100% sure I checked them...
So I did an active test on the exhaust valve and I do not see any movement at the muffler or hear any noise from the servo actuator.
I did other tests like fan and fuel pump to see that the tests...
Good day to all,
2008 XB12XT 26,500 miles(give or take).
I have got the following codes that came up using the Buelltooth and ECMdroid app.
Code 21 - AMC stuck open
Code 0 - Baro short to...
"Cooter called it" should've been the heading to this thread...
I think anyone with an expectation would have been disappointed. I think as a Buell community we hoped for a bit more than this... ...
Thank you all for helping out and the guidance provided. She's all back together and ready to ride!
Best piece of advice by far was the axle spacers. Rear bearings where stuck and all rusted up in...
@Barret Thank you. I got in there pretty good with a wire brush and some sand paper. It initially seemed a lot worse but it was surface rust at most. I wiped some wd40 onto the rusted areas and also...
I ran into a few more issues than I anticipated but so far I have the wheels off. I think some years of neglect have added some corrosion and issues I will have down the line.
Front bearings are...
I posted my dimensions...

@cvc - I will post those dimensions in the original thread you started once I get the parts.
Thank you all for the information provided. I ordered the wheel spacers as there is a high chance of them being damaged. I think all things considered that it is just worth the extra money to have...
Thank you I'll be sure to use the correct brake fluid.
Thanks a million. These are the things I would've missed otherwise.
Appreciate the input and I'll reach out if I need the part#.
Thank you for the advice. I will keep those things in mind.
I believe the brake fluid was flushed and replaced about 2000miles ago. Brake pads were also done. But it doesn't hurt doing it again to...
