Yes..I figured this was common knowledge by now.
The "race" rotor/stator is just the 08 parts..!

Funny...
I suggested an oil bath years ago..! Early 2010. It's posted somewhere on the "Bad" board..!
And yea, to do it right, I'd guess at least two, maybe three oil jets aimed at the stator...

There is many things you won't see on the computer screen until you do two things...
1. Connect a computer to the ECM (need the proper driver..!)
2. Do a "download" of the existing...
This comment is incorrect for anything other than "perfect", no load conditions.
If one uses this ratio for acceleration, 1. it'll accelerate like crap and or 2. it'll detonate so bad, you'll...
Yea..an easy thing to check..!
Remove the caliper, or back the pads off all the way away from the rotor.
The wheel should spin for 45 seconds to a minute with a healthy spin.
The only other...
Does anyone got it..?
It's not magic, it's just three wires that connect your computer to the ECM.
And yes, they work just fine, though mind did not come from e-bay.
Just talk to the seller,...
May I ask...you did remove all those sharp edges from the pistons (valve pockets) didn't you ?
Bad things for starting preignition.

NO such thing as a one piece spark plug...!
Please, don't spend your money on "snake oil...!"
There's no magic in spark plugs.

Neither richer intake...nore Barker exhaust has ANYTHING to do with the stator...! Except that they are connected to the same engine.
The stator is set in such a way that that cooling...
1) how frequently do you ride each week?
Daily during the week, occasionally on weekends.
2) shortest ride per week/longest ride per week?
85 miles a day...to and from work.
3) during the...
The "Breather Mod" is about as useless as T__'s on a shark.
Just sounds like 98% of the rest of the XB/1125 Buells....they need ECM work.
I bought my used XB12S, all stock...ran like crap around...
Nothing new..!
Been around in the automotive field for a very long time. I still have one...on the shelf.
BUT...just as most fads do, they came and for the most part...have left.
The cleaning...
I flush my brakes every 8 months or so.
On my 1125 Buell, the clutch gets flushed every 6 months.
You should be able to find some DOT4. Try different stores.
And no...it's not a Buell only...
Yep, Rain-X (or who-ever the maker is) Anti Fog.
I also wear glasses. I put it on the inside of the shield and the inside of my glasses.
BUT....my new, (almost a year old), Shoei, RF-1100...
Don't know, never checked...don't really care.
I'd much rather pay a litle more for equipment I like rather than pay less for pads the don't work quiet as well or...maybe last a longer.

Yes, it does smooth out the idle nicely. It also makes the engine run a little cooler when the timing is set where the engine is happy.
The "book" setting is not always where the...
Just leave it alone...
It works fine from the factory...!
I've experimented on two XB12's. The factory system works just fine as is.

I also use the EBC, HH pads.
I drive 85 miles, daily, rain or shine. These pads are better than any other pads I've used over the many years I've been driving bikes.
I've got them on my, XB12S,...
If you own a CR, you'll quickly realize the forks "can't" be dropped...!
All you can to is buy shorter sprongs for both the front AND rear.
Another thing that may help, I had my seat redone to...
200...210...at what ambient temp.?
I'm in So. Cal. On a 100+/- degree day, splitting lanes on the freeway, my CR runs 185F/190F.
On the open road, closer to 180F/185F.
On the open city...
I've driven my 12S in the rain...also my old 12R.
Along with my 1125CR.
No problems with any of them.
Mike
I removed the divider in mine.
The only place it seemed to help is during lane spliting on the way home from work (well...any lane splitting..!). When air is not comming straight at the pod...
What the hell is it with all of the TPS resets...?
And the "myths" and "wives tails" continue...
Do you even know how the TPS works and how it relates to the ECM's maps?
All that it required...
As has been said, the drive belt should last at least to 25,000 miles...IF cared for.
Leave the rock gards in place, try to stay on clean roads if you can.
Just keep an eye on it. depending on...
Also have Taylor Made.
