This is true, I am a novice at it, I do want to learn though, eventually to get to the point where I can work on these things myself as I get the tools I need.
but for now, I'll take that advice...
I bought some forks off ebay, for the XB9s that I have, they came in and are in amazing condition, I plan on changing the oil and seals in them so they are almost like new. but after reading about...
Better than my corroded /oxidized forks, Thanks Cooter :)
once I get everything ready I'll be posting any big changes to the yellow buell
I want to buy "new" forks for my buell, oem, I was wondering if anyone is parting out and has forks compatible with the 2003 XB9s, lemme know :D
reason is the fork tubes have bad corrosion, like...
Thank you for all the advice, I'll definitely heed this and learn from it, in time I hope to be able to apply everything I learn from you all, so I appreciate the constructive criticism and help :)

I'll be learning everything I can here, I am a newbie among more experience buellers :D
as you can tell from my "tightened to spec" experience, I still have much to learn :topsy_turvy:
No offense...
I am planning on completely switching out my forks, so I was wondering what would be possible to replace it with, if I could get a triple tree/fork set from a kawasaki 636, z1, yamaha 600 or r1, or...
Duly noted, I'll get anti-seize for the spark plugs. I hope the rear plug isn't going to be impossible to take out now :topsy_turvy:
It was tightened pretty tight, so it perplexes me haha
Update!
Yes, the buell spit out the front spark plug completely, Thanks Lunatic! and every one else for your help haha
I had used red loctite on the threads, and tightened it to spec, so, not...
Alright, I'll update when I troubleshoot that
okay XD I'll take your word for it.
Also, can someone fill me on on Chicago? who is that?
Ah, that's something I didn't do when I checked the oil... :upset:
I didn't know it took longer than I waited for it to drain back, I'm learning haha
So, upon taking a closer look, air is being pushed out from above the engines front, underneath the airbox, oil is leaking from a small tube it seems near the oil filter, it sounds as though only 1...
I will start to inspect the bike of the things you mentioned now, I'll post an update with more detail.
I had checked to see if the oil level was fine, and it seemed really low, so I added more oil.
but a few hours later in the day of hard riding, I heard a sudden and loud sound like a lot of air...
Duly noted haha, but honestly nah, I don't carry on the bike, I do plan on getting a Hydration system doe, it gets hot here in Miami
NIce I'm not the only one! :D
I completely agree haha
...
Your XB is gorgeous! I love it haha
I actually want to get a tail bag, hard cases and a set it up for long travel :D
Good thing the fashion police can't keep up with me now :p
Could be, but who knows? the world may never know haha
and the sound alone turns heads :cool:
Thank you everyone! I feel at home here, I need to learn how to work on her and maintain her myself for the most part :D
and yes it is a *pause for dramatic effect* fanny pack! :cool:
I...
