I agree with Lunatic, on all the points made above.
IF the ZTL brake design WAS as revolutionary and amazing as it LOOKS, it would be found on every race bike in the world.
No other manufacturer...

It’s just a thin piece of metal.
Make one.
You can’t be that old if you’re turning a blast into a rigid.
Not old
Just silly
Start with the basics.
Adjust your throttle cables.
If they are not adjusted correctly it might take as much free play, as what is shown in your video, to produce a throttle response.
And since I...
If anyone sends me a broken Buell part I’ll fix it. Free of charge.
Just don’t expect an OEM finish.
JB weld and ingenuity can take you further than fat pockets!
Is this real life?
The bracket is bent.
Put a pair of pliers on it and bend it back towards the frame.
Looks like it should sit at a right angle.
Be careful bending it. You don’t want to snap...
Hey, I don’t care what the peanut gallery has to say.
I thought I wanted a faster bike. Fact is I’m not fast enough or talented enough to even get the full potential out of my archaic xb.
Truth...
I didn’t inquire soon enough.
But I’ve changed my mind about upgrading.
I need to master the ride i currently own before I step up to anything more powerful.
I’m thinking about purchasing this:

I don’t know much about the supposed 1125rr. However, I’m extremely interested in...
I agree.
About a Buell and it’s handling.
Some so unique about the Buell.
I always tell people my bike and I have a “love/hate” relationship.
I think about getting rid of mine ALL THE TIME but...
Here’s a little insight.
I remember this “mod” but never really paid any attention to it.
Read this thread: https://www.buellxb.com/forum/showthread.php?2200-White-wire-mod-Lightning-CityX-XB9SX...
The above two statements would be my biggest concerns. Obviously the ECM has been molested. Go to www.buellmods.com or the buelltooth website and download a known GOOD stock or RACE map. I would...
Your plugs are probably fouled out from revving the bike while it sits idle. XBs don’t like being revved without an actual load on the engine.
Since your bike is an 09 I believe it has a plug...
Ha ha ha!
Always glad to make others fell better about themselves.
Thanks for those comments.
NOW, Can we stop derailing this thread and keep the posts constructive and beneficial for those...
Really?
GAM arm holding that box.
Maybe you’ve never encountered one.
And you’re right. That pic does make my arm look crazy hairy!
Looks like that bike has been “loved”!
2k is a very fair price
Surprised it hasn’t sold yet

List?
I gotta get my finders mark up!
Just kidding!
Y’all know how I roll. I’m not a stickler for the greenbacks.
And I’m not using the dam things so it’s just a waste sitting in my garage.

Check out what I found hiding in my garage! Boxes were still taped shut! I totally forgot I ever ordered these!

Looks like the cable for the idle adjustment knob.
Should be able to follow that frayed cable to the front left area of the bike. It’s factory zip tied to the top left portion of the “v” frame, very...
Nope
You lost me on this one.
I don’t believe anyone should ride ANY bike to prove ANYTHING. That’s just me.
Anyway, back to your original inquiry. There’s really nothing you can do to prevent...
Proper clutch adjustment and primary chain adjustment. Make sure to lube clutch and brake cable. Flush and replace the brake fluid once a year.
Aside from engine and primary oil.... ....that’s it.

Very sorry to hear about your mother in law.
My condolences to you and your family.
Ride safe

I’d say buyer beware.......
Bienvenidos mr wayo!
Does the issue you described only happen in one gear or in all gears?
How many miles or kilometers, are on your bike?
What year is your bike?
Do you have any diagnostic...
It’s your first bike and your first Buell.
I’m willing to bet that you’ve been revving the engine, while the engine is cold, to hear that sweet Buell sound. That being said your plugs are probably...
