JOEL9,
I have a 2008 XB12X with 8900 miles. I just dropped mine off at the dealer for the exact same thing you describe. My guess was my leak was coming from the rocker box gasket. I will let...

Darkhorse,
The TPS on the 08's can be reset by you. If you need the procedure let me know. Be careful with those torque specs too.

If you are not familiar with them it is kinda like minor surgery for your bike.

Hey Tin Man. I had a similar experience on my 08' Uly. I was following the torque spec in the manual and stripped out one of the fasteners for the primary inspection cover. I know the feeling....

Note: ECMspy does not work with 08' models.

Only on the release of the clutch. Almost feels like my old sport bikes when the chain was too loose. That is what led me to inspect the primary chain.

When I am at a rolling stop or coasting and release the clutch I am experiencing a clunk as the clutch engages. This just started happening. 2500 miles on the bike, checked primary chain tension and...

Thanks!

Hey BPG,
Need the part # for the rear spark plug wire of a 2008 Ulysses. Thanks!

The July 2008 issue of Motorcyclist has an interview with Jon Flickinger (Pres and COO of Buell). He pretty much said the dirtbike project was looked at and they decided not to go ahead with it. They...

Thanks for the input guys. I am a pretty conservative rider most of the time, I only stay on one wheel on the way home from work :D For the next few weeks I am gonna pay close attention to all of...

Can all 08' model Buellers please post your average MPG's? I was averaging high 30's before 1000 mile service now I have 2000 miles on the bike and I just got 30 MPG's on this tank of gas ...

Here is the finished piece. The drain is located on the underside of the can. The filter on the left side is a sintered metal 40 micron. The powder coat color matches the frame very close (Sherwin...

I did the breather mod and decided to machine a catch can similar to ones I have seen online. Here is the sketch in Solidworks and the finished powdered part. Now I am waiting for my fittings and a...

Checking the bike upright is the line they tried to feed me when they overfilled my oil by about a quart. Warm and on the side stand, right from the factory manual!

Ditto on the hose mod. Noticed a slight improvement at 1st gear parking lot speeds. Now I will be machining a catch can and powder coating it graphite to match the frame. Here is a quick sketch. ...

Just a little insider info. Just like virtually one company developed all of the additives that go into engine oil (Lubrizol), almost all of the filters discussed here come from the same factory. ...

Here is some comic relief for the board. I am 6'5" 215lbs and normally ride an XB12X. Well today I picked up my girl friends Blast for her. Let me tell you, this thing has no problems running...

TMC,
I am wondering the same thing. I can't really seem to find any solid information on the 08' ECM.

Hey Tin Man,
Congrats. About #1, this happened to me on my 08' Uly a couple of times when she was new under 500 miles. It was usually when it was cold outside. What I have found is my bike...

Hey LeFox,
I almost forgot about that part. They just took a clutch cable clip off another bike on the floor. So hopefully that one is updated.

warhorse,
You got it!

Well after two weeks I got my bike back from its 1000 mile service. In addition to the service the clutch cable was to be replaced due to a problem in an earlier post. (cable contacted header and...

The noises from my XB12X are nothing compared to my old iron head!
