Mia, I can relate.

Not quite your age but close.

The Buell was a gift of life to me. I have never been so focused in my life as I am riding my Buell.

It is like it takes ten years off of my...

The general thinking as I see it is that the fan will come on to cease damage to the rear cylinder and possibly the oil. So from what I gather, the fan is programed to go on at a particular temp in...

Alright got it figured out.

Hello, I know this has been talked about a few times and I'll take some grief bringing it back up but... I'm curious. My 07 xb 12 lightning's fan comes on when I ride 1) hard 2) long on warm days and...

I apologize if this has been covered, but in the search I wasn't able to seem to get an answer.

The 2007 xb12scg fan will come on after a bit of spirited riding, I'm assuming at the prescribed...

I replaced my oil cooler because it was leaking. Job done. In the last few rides my fan has been coming on after about fifteen minuets of riding one day was 80 ish farenheight today was close to 100...

Hey Cooter, I've been messing with this for a while now as you know. The AFV is at 113 to 119. I've checked for intake leak using the propane method. I did a compression check on both cylinders and...

Hmmm. I'll try to reiterate.

All the mounts (front back, and lateral) look good. I installed a new front isolator with the thought that maybe the old one was getting hard. No dice.

The exhaust...

Well I've given it some time and done a few things. The motor is still running rough... I call it vibration but it's just not smooth. I actually bought a new front isolator thinking maybe mine was...

Took the bike out this morning, 30 mile excursion. Bike ran great, though I think the vibration was a bit more than original, my butt and feet didn't seem to be bothered. Also FWIW, I could see...

Well, finally felt well enough to work on the bike this morning. I did what 34 had recommended and loosened all of the isolators, and tried to wiggle the motor around jacking it up and down a little,...

#1 ya know, that's possible, I use a long neck needle nose to put the rear plug wire on. I'm never positive about that.
#2, like I told outlaw, I have ridden the bike a bit between the crash rebuild...

You are right except the bike ran fine between the time I rebuilt it from the crash to when I realized I had a pushrod seal leak (thus the gasket/ring job) can't help but think I did something wrong...

Both front and back isolators seem fine, but I just remembered that when I put the center tie bar assembly back on, the holes didn't line up quite right and had to use a little force to get the bolts...

Thanks, I will check them out.

Also, I did run a buelltooth code scan and there were no current errors but there were two in the stored errors, 15 and 21. I checked the muffler valve and it does seem stuck (stuck closed)... I'll...

I checked and there is a gap.

Well, got 50 + miles on the bike so far but I do notice that it vibrates much more that before I did the gasket/rings work. It idles fine, pulls hard but MUCH more engine vibration than before the...

ya the bike took more of a beating than me. I skidded down the road on my face, and I'm glad I had full leathers on.. but I think the buell might have taken some tumbles into the ditch. But I'm not...

Well, I took the bike out for a ride for the first time.

Cooter you were right, I did exactly as I wanted. BUT, thanks to you all I did have the opinions to help my research and make a (what I...

Ya your point being?

You are obviously drinking too much... All I wanted was some opinions on how to break in the bike after putting in new rings. Jesus, why are you all so f..ing weird?

Gosh, all I was looking for is...

Thanks

You my friend are a piece of work.

Thanks Barrett,

The only thing I don't quite understand is that this bike has been down for oh maybe a month. So I realize that the bore and rings need to be tended to, but if I used (which I did...
