thanks for the replies

are there any Buell specialists around the West Midlands/South west?

If not it looks like a trek oop norf to see the maestro :maz:

Don't even think about taking the bike anywhere other than the Emporium would be sound advice.

If your looking to identify a strange sound, sound advice is the best option :old:


Use a long screwdriver to try & identify the sound, put the sharp end onto the casing you think the noise is coming from and the other end to your ear. If you haven't done this before it'll probably scare you shitless when you hear what's actually going on inside the motor.
Believe me though you will be able to hear when something is wrong and you can usually locate the area noise is emanating from by moving the screwdriver point to differing areas on the engine casings. Really good for isolating bearing rumble, rattles & knocking. It's a good idea to listen to the motor like this at any point as it gives you a guide of what it should sound like.
Trouble is that doesn't really get you anywhere as you still have to sort it out whatever it is.
If you even slightly doubt your own capabilities, take it to Maz, he'll sort it out.
