After 43000 mi. my '04 XB12S primary cover gave up. Neutral was becoming more and more difficult to find, and when I started having to hold the brake at stops, I knew exactly what was going on. I...

Helmet lock. Thread it through the D-rings on your helmet, then slip the loops over the left-hand boss that engages the hook under your seat. Better 'n nothin'.

Okay, well, perishables (consumables) are things like -

spark plugs .... no 8mm nut there
oil filter ... nope
air filter ... none there
brake pads & fluid ... ditto

...

8mm nuts. Got it. Good god, Cooter ...

The only 8mm nuts I've found on my '04 are on the speedo cluster mounts. Surely Buell wouldn't have added that bit just for those. Maybe the 1125's, for...

What was the 8mm nut driver bit, added to later model XB tool kits, used for?

I'm going to be doing this but wonder why you can't just hold the front sprocket with the belt and rear brake?

Go with the paid version - it's well worth it. Besides, the money goes to a kids' hospital.

Looking for a Vanson Vent Max 3 or 4 mesh jacket. Medium size, black preferred, stripes okay. Must be excellent.

"For that reason, always the map for the front cylinder must be checked"

Yup, no arguement there, Ich. But the reality is most of us, for one reason or another, will never go to the trouble of...

Is there an XB that doesn't do this?

Here's what helped my XB12S.

You did the breather mod. Good. Make sure the air temp sensor is perfectly clean. Contact cleaner works well. I then put in...

63. Have had alot of bikes since age 15, but never one like this. XB12S.

Go to the website and get the corrrect, most recent driver. http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm I didn't trust the CD that came with my cable, the info on it appeared to be haphazard and out of...

Just to provide an answer for anyone who might have the same question and happens to stumble upon this thread ...

I "locked" my Front and Rear maps together, then went ahead and multiplied each...

I'm not having much luck using the "My Maps" feature at EcmSpy.com

To add an Adjustment Run, the "description" which is asked for - is it actually a map file?

I press "Add" under the...

With a Drummer SS muffler, K&N filter and airbox delete, my '04 XB12S is running lean as is evidenced by the 117% AFV corrrection, and by a surging idle speed. My AFV was 111% with no idle issues...

The muffler's sold.

In the ECMSPY User and Tuning guides, the author writes, as a prerequisite to tuning the closed loop area, "Note the AFV and multiply both front and rear maps by it’s value"

To do that for say,...

Is there a particular type of plug boot puller that works especially well on the XB's?

Buell Race exhaust in good shape. No dents but a slight flattening where it may have dragged over the top of a service lift ramp or something. - not sure when or how.
Peering inside all openings as...

It's all sold separately. At a minimum, you have to buy the L-brackets and a rack - either the sissy-bar type pack rack for one of the Ventura packs, or the sport rack for a smaller bag. Or both. The...

I just put a new belt on my '04 XB12S - presumably the newest revision, the dealer had to order it direct from H-D. - Part # GO500.1AAH. I followed the service manual step-by-step and It went on, but...

So have any of these guys got a Free Spirits tensioner alternative ready to go? After seeing how tight a post'06 belt fits on my '04 XB12S, I may be ready to pop for one.

Yup, of course it is ... no v-notch in the pillion area. Buell Streetfighters, Corbin Gunfighters ... so much violence.
I'm going to hold out for a really nice Select in trade for my Race pipe....

No, I've had a couple of Corbins on other bikes, GTP, and never cared for them ... but that's a Select, not a Gunfighter you've got pictured, right?
