Thanks for all the info. Kind of thought the VR waa at fault and just wanted a few others to agree before buying a new one. Kinda happy to replace it as it's easier than the stator!

Thanks for these tips. Have checked the plugs (No.77 I think its called and they're fine). Will check the mount between frame and subframe next time I'm messing about with it!
Also, thanks for the...
2009 XB12R
Battery was bought in Septemeber 2020, bike has regular use and I'm in Hong Kong so never gets cold.
I keep getting the "Low battery error" so I did the voltmeter mod. Checked the...
Thanks for the input. I checked the wheel bearings and spacer, had a spare set of bearings so changed them. All fine.
On the way home from work the vibrations got a lot worse. turns out it was...
Hi there,
I'd be grateful if any of you guys could share your thoughts on a recent issue. XB12R 2009.
Last weekend I changed the primary oil and checked the primary chain tension, had the rear...
Thanks for your info, I've found a guy that says welding is an option as it not on a main weld, etc but still weighing up my options. I'm away on holiday for the next 7 weeks (tough life, I know) so...
Not sure, just noticed it. It's not on the major welds. On the top of the frame where the tank and seat meet. Not been in any accidents that I know of, which covers the last 4 years or so.
Thanks for all the input. I'm in Hong Kong so getting a frame here is going to be costly. For anyone that's replaced their frame, how much of a pain was it and can it be done without a hoist? I doubt...
Hey guys,
So I have a crack in my frame, I've found a guy that can weld it but how do you drain it and make it safe to weld? I'd really appreciate info from those that have done it before. I've...
I saw this youtube vid. Anyone know if this will work on my 05 xb9sx, or should I just quit messing about and buy the tool?
Thanks!

Gona give this a go soon. Any pointers please?
Sweet as, thanks!
Got to say, this forum is amazing for getting help. Thanks a lot
Just had a look at the manual and can't see how to do this. Are they at the throttle body? What do I do, spray brake cleaner when the engine is running and monitor the idle - this is how people...
Cheers for all the info and advice. I'll start checking all those things, it got much worse on the way home, actually running on one cylinder while riding with higher revs and loads of backfiring so...
So I looked on the Buelltooth site and they have the following maps for the XB9:
Buell Race Kit
D&D
Buelltooth Exhaust System (Specify Model Purchased)
I have the jardine exhaust on mine,...
Thanks for the info guys. Will have a look at the Buelltooth and change the plugs. Also, the exhaust is pretty banged up so I bet it does have some air leaks. The popping on decel doesn't bother me...
Hi guys, back with another problem...
I'm being a bit lazy and asking for help rather than properly trying to diagnose the problem myself due to a split disc in my back which means I can only work...
Looks like it was the front engine mount / isolator. It was looking a bit perished and when I fiddled with it a bit some of the rubber came away which meant I got vibrations on decel. Changed the...
Sorry to sound dumb, you made it so there was more or less fork sticking out the top yolk?
Thanks
Thanks for the info and advice. Been a bit busy, but last week I noticed the weights for the front wheel were on the left, the manual says they need to be on the disc side so I moved them, checked...
Nope. I will he doing that next. Thanks
I'll give them a going over, cheers. Would worn fork bushing only be apparent when moving? Forks don't have any play and neither does the swingarm. Bike has only done about 30k km
Hi, thanks for replying to my post.
Wobble feels like it's from the middle of the bike so thought it would be the rear wheel, but when accelerating through the wobble (or trying to) the bars start...
Hi Everyone,
New to Buells and wanted one for years, living in Hong Kong they're pretty rare. A taty one came up for sale so I grabbed this XB9 (2005). Previous owner had neglected the **** out of...
